At the Schering-Plough booth a friendly bartender poured a free beer and you could enter a contest to win a new John Deere Gator! I spoke with Dan Ellsworth, Senior Product Manager, Cattle about new products from his company.
You can hear our next podcast here: ZimmComm Podcast.
Keep checking in for more from the Cattle Industry Convention & Trade Show. 
The first stop was the Merial booth, where I spoke with Jim Gibb, Sr. Manager, Beef Segment Development about new dna testing products from Igenity.
You can listen to our next audio interview here: ZimmComm Podcast.
Later this week, new U. S. Secretary of Agriculture, Mike Johanns, will be making a speech. We’ll bring you audio from his remarks.
Over 6,000 people involved in the cattle industry are expected to attend this year’s Cattle Industry Convention & Trade Show. The trade show kicked things off Wed. evening and was very well attended.
The first interview is with Cattlemen’s Beef Board CEO Monte Reese. He’s the better looking one talking into the mic. Beef demand increased more last year than any year recently and Monte talks about what that means in our next podcast available here: ZimmBlog Podcast.
All the usual press conferences are going on and the trade show’s about to start so while you listen, I’ll go wander around.
The convention is underway.
Just got into the convention center and getting registered. Heading to the trade show momentarily.
Hello from San Antonio. 2nd hotel. The first one didn’t have working high speed access. Can’t have that. I promise not to make you look at pictures of me. I’m just happy to be in my room and ready to go. It’s off to the convention center next and see what’s going on. I’ll start out in the media room and post more later. Let me know if there’s anything in particular you’d like to see me cover while I’m here. Post a comment or email me.
I just couldn’t leave a wimpy little post from a cell phone on my blog while I’m travelling. I just sent that last post to show you that if you’re really desparate, you can even use a pretty standard Sprint phone to post a message on your blog.
I’ll be getting in to the Cattle Industry Convention tomorrow afternoon and will begin posting information as soon as I find it.
this takes too long.
I’m seeing more and more articles written about blogging and especially having the company ceo start writing. Here’s a link to a good one that’s worth passing along.
Attention, CEOs: It’s Time to Blog
by Susan Solomon February 1, 2005
As soon as our new blog design is complete and new website/server up and running we’ll begin true podcasting. In the meantime I’ll be posting links here to audio files you can listen to, especially this week at the Cattle Industry Convention and Trade Show.
Here’s the first one. ZimmBlog Podcast
You should be able to click on that link and your media player will open automatically, download the mp3 file and play it for you. Let me know if you have problems. If you don’t have a media player I recommend Windows Media Player.
Looking forward to blogging you from San Antonio!
