Iowa cattlemen seek standard guidelines

As is happening in the pork industry, some cattlemen are calling for more consistency in the beef industry’s quality assurance guidelines.  

The Iowa Cattlemen’s Association is leading an effort to have the cattle industry adopt one standard set of guidelines, such as the Beef Quality Assurance program, that would be accepted for all third party audits.  

We discussed the idea with Ed Greiman of Garner, Iowa, president of the Iowa group. Greiman also comments on his work in the area of price discovery and the potential for growth in Iowa’s cattle industry.
