Dickies finds unlikely youth following in work wear trend
Fort Worth based Williamson Dickies, maker of durable work wear for decades, has quietly grown a teen and twenty-something customer base adopting their rugged look. Only 20 to 25 percent of sales reportedly come from this group, while the firm keeps its focus on core older buyers and resists new lines or girls' apparel to preserve brand image and market control.

Beef prices surge as diets and demand reshape ranching
Ranchers credit Atkins and South Beach style diets for lifting beef demand and prices. King Ranch manager Paul Genho notes steaks sell fast with bulls hitting about $40,000 as per-pound prices top a dollar. Analysts credit domestic demand and supply factors like Canadian mad-cow bans and droughts, while cautioning about long term health effects.
