Collection 2447 - Montana Beef Performance Association Records, 1956-1988
Creator: Montana Beef Performance Association
Provenance Note: Montana Beef Performance Association donated their records to the Montana State University Library in 1988.
Historical Note: Montana Beef Performance Association (MBPA) was organized on March 12, 1956 in Bozeman, Montana. This organization's main purpose was to give progressive cattlemen a way to select premium cattle to raise while eliminating negative genetic factors. With the aid of the Montana Extension Service, the Miles City Experiment Station, and office space at Montana State University, the organization was able to flourish as a non-profit organization. Under the leadership of E. Paul Orcutt, the first Executive Secretary and Extension Service livestock specialist, the MBPA's mission evolved from providing ranchers with a simple records keeping center to being a pioneer in herd selection methods. By introducing mathematical formulas to an animal's progeny records, certification scores were given with only the highest scoring ones selected. MBPA's continued success led to the adoption of their practices by all major cattle breed associations, but also eventually led to their demise in 1988.
Content Description Note: The Montana Beef Performance Association papers contain materials pertaining to the daily operations of this organization. They include computer printouts of performance records, Individual Performance Records (IPR's) and related correspondence from members with various classifications. Also within this collection are MBPA's office records such as tax forms, meeting minutes, financial statements, plus regulations and organization by-laws.

Series 8: Old Performance Data
Series 8 consists mostly of hand calculated pedigrees that were not transferred to member files when the switch to computer calculations was made in the 1960's. Both performance records and corresponding letters are contained in these member files. Also within this series are files from members from the Extension Service's own version of performance testing that was in use before the establishment of the organization.
