Publications in this list are free. The Purdue University Extension publications link to the publication's page in the Education Store. Some may have a link on the page to download the file.

For most, you will need to act as though you are purchasing the publication - don't worry, they really are free! Add any publications you would like to read to your cart. If you have an account with the Education Store, log in. Otherwise, create an account with your email address and a password. Check out, and it will send you an email with links so you can download the publications you requested.

IBEP's beef publications list also has a few articles written by Purdue faculty and staff which are not "official" Extension publications. Also, in the "Drought & Forage Supply Resources", there are some links to publications from other universities.

You may find other publications of interest, which you can purchase, on the Education Store's site. (Note: A few publications that previously were free are now available for purchase. These tended to have large file sizes.)

This list of resources was originally on the Purdue Dairy Page, and was created during the 2012 drought. It includes articles, videos, and web sites at Purdue and other universities. Although some are geared towards dairy cattle, there are some beef cattle articles, and forage information is likely applicable to all cattle.
