Cattle producers continue their work addressing discrepancies in the cattle markets. Two years ago members of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association debated cattle market issues for more than 7 hours.
President Don Schiefelbein of Minnesota says those conversations have come a long way. “The brilliance of what the membership did and what we decided in that seven-hour meeting is let’s put a little pause on it, let’s try and do our own work internally, and let’s go out to the masses and make sure everybody understands all that’s involved in the decisions to move this market forward,” he says.
