Sorting Pen: The California Cattleman Podcast
Episode 3: Sorting through talks on traceability from the 2023 Cattle Industry Convention
Each year at the Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Tradeshow there are a few issues that rise to the top of discussions. At this year’s meeting, just held Feb. 1-3, traceability was the topic. Past CCA President, Inyo County cattle rancher and veterinarian Dr. Tom Talbot sat down with Katie on the last day of meetings in New Orleans to explain why discussions on traceability are picking up now and what it means for California producers.
Later in the episode CCA officers Rick Roberti and Bev Bigger join to ask a few traceability questions of their own.
