Nutrition.  Nutrional challenges.  Taking advantage of by-products.  The use of supplements to increase digestion.

I personally like "The Future is Here".  Rewind the clock 20 years.  Show how we have decreased our cattle on feed or our herd size in US but have increased beef production.  Show what has changed.  Display before and after on reproduction (AI, epd, ebryo transfer, dna profiling, etc), Nutrition (as mention before), Carcass traits and merits (how packers or consumers have changed their buying habits thus changing what we do today.  Finish off by showing how many people on farmer fed then and now.  Show what challenges the next 20 years holds.  Good luck.
