Tama County beef program cuts prices and costs
A Tama County marketing plan promises savings of 10 to 170 dollars per head in beef distribution and a drop in retail beef to about 1.37 per pound. The system links retail prices to actual wholesale costs, with vacuum packed, flash frozen cuts and individual labeling. Cattle owners can expect deliveries within 40 hours after catalog order. The cooperative aims to expand to pork and other meats after beef is established.
