The most successful students and practitioners of beef cattle breeding will be familiar with both historical and current scientific literature. While much of it is intended for researchers familiar with the highly technical methods involved in modern animal breeding, there are many works that translate this information into more generally accessible papers for beef cattle producers and other industry professionals. Many extension specialists and scientists have produced manuscripts that provide important insight.

This Essential Reading wiki is divided into two general categories, essential reading written for industry professionals and important technical papers written as part of the scientific literature.
