The State of Nebraska Beef
KOLN
Cattle producers from across Nebraska converged in Kearney Thursday to talk about the state of the beef industry.
Of major concern is getting the younger generation involved on the state’s farms and ranches. In a state with more cattle than people, industry leaders say the people that raise those cattle are doing well this year.
“Cattle markets in Nebraska have been very high this year. We’ve had good fat cattle markets and we’ve had excellent feeder cattle markets,” said Todd Schroeder Nebraska Cattlemen vice president.
“We’re out in the drought area and even though our crops have not been very good the past five years. The beef industry has been holding up quite well for us,” he said.
