Here’s the Cattle Industry Convention Media Room welcoming committee. It’s Grace and Joe. Joe says Grace is the official Yard-O-Beef spokesmodel. I think the plan is to slice that baby up later today as a news room snack. The media room is getting busier as the day wears on. I was hoping we would have some mild weather here but …
Visiting With Beef Board Staff
When I wandered in to the Opryland Hotel the first person I ran into was Diane Henderson, Cattlemen’s Beef Board (right). She’s my boss here since I’m posting onto the Beef Board Meeting.com blog. Here she is giving directions to CBB board member Charles Miller and his wife Judy. This Opryland complex is immense and a tour guide is very …
A Natural Place For Beef
There’s nothing like an announcement of an upcoming announcement or I guess I should say launch. US Natural Beef will be unveiled at the upcoming Cattle Industry Convention according to a story on meatingplace.com.
Beef Cook-Off Looking For Family Chefs
I haven’t eaten any beef for at least a day or so. Maybe that little headache I have is from beef withdrawal. That will get corrected with supper tonight. So maybe I should consider entering the National Beef Cook-Off.
Research Beef Online
As if the Beef Checkoff doesn’t have enough websites, now there’s one more. I’m really not sure I understand the philosophy behind the whole multiple website strategy. This one focuses on research. You can find a lead-in site to all of them at Beef.org (16 just for the Checkoff).
Go The Extra Yard For Beef
The ever so lovely Grace Webb and Joe Schuele (not picture) would like all the farm media to get their registrations in for the Cattle Industry Convention. Like now okay?
New Wranglers For Beefmobile
Think beef. Think Beefmobile Wranglers. Think “new” Beefmobile Wranglers. That’s who Stephanie Ausfahl and Craig Hamilton are. In case you’re wondering, Stephanie is pictured on the right and Craig on the left.

The Missouri Beef Industry Council leaders are on the job here in Springfield, MO. Here’s chairman Andrew McCrea (left) and executive director, John Kleiboeker listening to a report from Missouri Cattle Association executive vice president, Brent Bryant. Andrew is also an award winning farm broadcaster for Brownfield.
Beefmobiling
I guess it’s just a beef kind of day here on AgWired. I did have a little drive to Indianapolis thrown into the mix. I’ll be here for meetings tomorrow morning before returning home. Hence the light posting. I did get an announcement from the Cattlemen’s Beef Board about the Beefmobiles gearing up to hit the road again. These folks travel like an agriblogger and they’re invited to write to me on their travels. I’ll post them here.
Alane Blogs Chamberlain
As you may know we built a blog for the Missouri Beef Industry Council. I am happy to see the staff starting to use it to write about the activities they’re involved in. Like today when Alane Lidolph did a post about Chef Richard Chamberlain’s visit to St. Louis. And right before here Dawn Thurnau did a post about a Cook’s Chili Challenge they helped sponsor in Columbia, MO. Good stuff!
