S4 E18: Sorting through the role of the Cattle Council's Response Fund

In this episode, California Cattle Council Executive Director Justin Oldfield explains why 10% of the Council's annual budget is put into a response fund, of which dollars are only deployed if an emergency or a potentially significant disruption to California's cattle industry arises.

Hear how this response fund is proving to be vital and about the special educational campaign it is currently funding in Sonoma County.
