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
I think Chef Richard Chamberlain is really a good ambassador for the beef industry. Thanks to Diane Henderson at the Cattlemen’s Beef Board for this picture.
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.
Get Your Waygu From Down Under
Pro golfer Greg Norman thinks beef is what’s for dinner. The only problem is he’s Australian and importing it into the United States. It looks like he’s got 2 flavors, “Signature Waygu” and “Premium.” It’s all targeted to upscale restaurants and they point out that, “This range is produced by AAco as a fully DNA trackable farm-to-plate standard. It’s your guarantee of the highest, most consistent quality beef, grain-fed and aged to perfection.”
Cattle Industry Summer Conference Photos
After any event I blog I like to upload my pictures to Flickr. I probably should look at some new ways to use them. I’ve got thousands in there now but they are categorized into sets at least.

Hearing From Monte Reese
Is there anyone who doesn’t know Monte Reese? The Beef Board’s Chief Operating Officer was on the program at this morning’s board meeting to give a report on the activities of the Checkoff.
Board Meeting Last On The Agenda
The last thing to get done here at the Cattle Industry Summer Conference is the board meeting. This is a combined meeting of the Beef Board and NCBA, although the official meetings are held separately.
