CAB President Will Retire
I didn’t know Jim Riemann but I certainly have liked his product. Here’s to hoping that we can always find a good CAB steak.
Beef Checkoff Turning 20
Jo Ann Smith is one of my favorite people. Boy does seeing this picture make me miss Florida. Jo Ann was the first Chairman of the Cattlemen’s Beef Board back in 1986. It’s been twenty years. My how time flies when you’re eating beef. The CBB is a client for ZimmComm as I think most of you know. The Beef Checkoff holds a very special place in Cindy and my hearts because of that and because back when we were partnered with Gary Cooper in our first business venture the Florida Beef Council was one of our first clients. Florida had one of the highest approval ratings for the original Checkoff referendums in the country.
Cattle Handling
For growing up on a farm and showing cattle since I could ever remember, I thought going to the cattle handling demonstration would be something of interest.
Texas Cattle Blogging
My old buddy Blair Fannin, the farm podcaster from Texas is blogging away this week at the Texas Beef Cattle Short Course.
Barbeque Battle Features Beef

Steve’s Last MBIC Report Podcast
The first ag group that I know of that started podcasting is the Missour Beef Industry Council. That’s thanks to the now former Executive Director Steve Taylor.
Beef Babes At MBIC Party
We had a great going-away party for Steve Taylor today in Columbia, MO. Stevie “Wonder” is going off into the sunset to Moscow, ID. He’s leaving behind the Beef Babes, current and future.
Brisket Sub From Quiznos
According to meatingplace.com, Quiznos is coming out with another beef sub. At last week’s Cattle Industry Summer Conference the media (like Ken Rahjes here, KRVN) were treated to Quiznos beef subs. They were awesome.
