Auction Market Cattle Welfare Initiatives

Abstract

There are many changes that have occurred in the Livestock Marketing Industry in recent years. By now we have all seen the television footage aired on the program "Hardcopy" a few years ago. The image portrayed to the general population is not indicative of what we in the Livestock Marketing Industry strive to achieve on a daily basis; however, it is hard to explain those images away when it is clear that those situations occurred and were documented.
