Abstract

I am here because I am interested in the future of the beef industry as it relates to the economics of millions of cattlemen and the health and welfare of mankind. It has a direct and obvious relationship to you as bovine practitioners. You, as a respected leader in your community, may have the strongest influence. I am concerned today because this industry that contributes so much to the quality of life is being threatened by outside forces with which cattlemen, and the beef industry, are unable to cope.
