Conference Stresses Meat Type Beef at First National Show
Farm Editor Jack McNett reports from Cedar Rapids on a beef conference tied to the first National Beef Show. ISU extension and Wilson and Company sponsored the day with six experts outlining commercial beef production and profitability strategies. A new Better Beef organization formed to promote the industry aims to raise funds from members. Dr Ralph Durham of Texas Tech urged grading by meat quality, not animal conformation, and outlined calf-rearing to market weights using cow nutrition, even exploring cross breeds like Holgus to boost meat output. Henry Matthiessen of the American Hereford Association echoed many points on breed focus and production goals.
