Fifth-generation Wyoming rancher Kacy Atkinson says it’s time for cattlemen to stop the infighting and begin to understand the real issues affecting the beef industry.
In the few months since Greg Hanes became CEO of the Cattlemen’s Beef Board he says "there appears to be many misperceptions, false rumors, and misinformation about how the checkoff works and is administered."
You’ve got calving on your mind now, but that means weaning will surely follow this fall and some of your decisions then will be framed by decisions made this spring.
The op-ed, “HSUS, R-CALF, OCM: Guilt by Association?”, raises questions and makes false insinuations about the relationship between the two organizations and OCM’s sources of funding, according to Joe Maxwell.
NCBA calls lawsuit allegations "without merit," and R-CALF a "front group for activists seeking to divide the industry, lessen beef demand and drive producers out of business."
Attacks against the Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund, United Stockgrowers of America (R-CALF) and the Organization of Competitive Markets (OCM) are called “desperate” and “coordinated,” says David Muraskin.
