A more tranquil cattle conference this year

Recent gatherings of cattle industry leaders have been tumultuous affairs, with battles over organizational structure, concerns over possible breaches of the policy/checkoff firewall, and accusations of financial improprieties.

This time around, at least outwardly, there seems to be more harmony.

We talked with two key players—Rock Valley, Iowa cattleman Kent Pruismann, who sits on the Cattlemen’s Beef Board—that’s the checkoff organization—and Craig Uden of Cozad, Nebraska, incoming chair of the Federation of State Beef Councils.
