The Beef Checkoff this week released the results of a new study focusing on beef sustainability – the inputs and outputs needed to produce a pound of boneless, edible beef – finding that in six years, sustainability has improved 5%.
Released Thursday during the 2013 Cattle Industry Summer Conference, the assessment is the most detailed examination of a commodity value chain ever completed, says Richard Gebhart, cow-calf producer from Claremore, Okla., and sustainability committee member.
