Reflecting a strong participation in the national market, Brazilian beef cattle farming strengthens and enhances Brazil’s GDP each year. Considering the high demand for meat and its by-products, reproduction tends to evolve and improve so that results become faster and more profitable. Therefore, technical knowledge about management methods and the essential elements for their implementation becomes indispensable. In this way, the objective was to compile essential and influential information for the production of new animals resulting from reproductive methods applied to cow management. Through a literature review, a collection of essential information on the subject was made, aiming to objectively and clearly demonstrate the stages of the beef cow’s reproductive cycle and the key factors leading to excellent productive results.
