http://www.agri-pulse.com/cattle-indust ... 042014.aspWASHINGTON, D.C., FEB. 2, 2014 - The U.S. cattle industry needs to change the way it produces beef if it is to stay competitive in what has become a "ground beef nation,'' according to Don Close, an economist for the Rabobank Food and Agribusiness Research and Advisory Group.
In a report, Close says producers continue to over-focus on producing quality steak while cost-conscious Americans are switching to other proteins and eating more ground beef in the form of burgers, sauces and tacos at home and in fast-food restaurants. The report was released on the eve of the opening of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association's annual convention, in Nashville.
Have you or are any of you CAB producers considering changing breeds from a quality breed to quantity breed?
I have noticed several "heards" in my area going from black to white.
