Videos within this library will fall within the three tenants of sustainable beef production: 1) economically viable 2) environmentally responsible 3) socially diligent These videos will increase cow-calf producers' and agricultural professionals' knowledge and skills related to sustainable rangeland-based beef production in central and eastern Oregon. The goal is that those individuals will incorporate what is learned in this video library on their operations or in their outreach endeavors, respectively.
