A battle in the beef industry

Faced with growing concerns about the firewall between their organization’s policy and checkoff divisions, leaders of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association say they are suspending discussions on proposed changes to the governance structure of NCBA.  They say a vote on the governance proposal, scheduled for the mid-summer meeting of NCBA in late July, will not take place. NCBA’s action follows last week’s Cattlemen’s Beef Board (CBB) recommendation that the Federation completely separate itself from NCBA.  The chairman of the Federation of State Beef Councils, Wyoming cattleman Scott George, says he was disappointed by the CBB’s action.
