Chairman of the National
Live Stock and Meat Board,
in Chicago recently. He
indicated that the
organization is stepping up
some programs to meet that
challenge.
"Consumers are sure to

“So the Meat Board is em
barking on a series of
projects to answer questions
about why more than usual
grass-fed beef is being
marketed and what changes
in buying, cooking and
merchandising may be
needed where die product is

Questions On Grass Fed Beef

According to USDA, Meat
Board officials say they
anticipate an additional 10
percent of cattle slaughter
will be coming directly off
grass in the next year, up
sharply from 1973.
In recent years, relatively
small numbers of U. S. cattle
(17-20 percent) have been
marketed from grass. These
principally were cull cows
