Since 1983, the Oklahoma Beef Cattle Manual has been a key resource of research-based information for beef cattle producers, extension professionals, veterinarians and others in the beef industry. The Manual, currently in its Eighth Edition (2021), has evolved and expanded in content over time. It currently includes 45 chapters covering 6 primary topic areas, including Industry Issues, Economic Issues, Forage, Nutrition, Breeding, Herd Health, and Environment for Raising Cattle. The first-ever Spanish translation of the Beef Cattle Manual is also available in the Eighth Edition.

While the Beef Cattle Manual is used as the curriculum for the Master Cattleman certification program, the Manual is also available for purchase by the general public. The options to order the manual are below or contact your local OSU Extension office for more information.
