The president of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association says producers should learn from other producers to improve their own operations. Don Schiefelbein attended the Wisconsin Cattlemen’s Association Summer Tour Saturday near Clear Lake, Wisconsin. “It’s really nice to get among the grassroots and just to see the different techniques they’re using here. Some of the innovations in confinement cow-calf is I think a thing that’s going to take a bigger and bigger piece of the cow-calf industry, so it’s kind of interesting to see it all.”
Schiefelbein tells Brownfield he learned to be open to change from his father, who said the key to the family’s success was for his sons to raise cattle differently than he did.
