way to improve the cattle feed
ing business in Pennsylvania.
Wendall Landis, director of
Pennsylvania’s Beef Quality As
surance Programs, opened the
evening with a short summary
of the “Blueprint for Success”
program. Developed by a com
mittee of representatives from
the feedlot industry, the pro

State University and the Penn
sylvania Beef Council.
The committee summarized
animal and management factors
to increase the quality and com
petitiveness of Pennsylvania fed
cattle.
“I want to be out there work
ing with you one-on-one, trying
to see what your needs are and
how they can be met,” said
Landis.
According to Landis, goals of
the program are to sustain the

finished to meet packer and con
sumer demands. The program
will help improve profitability
and decrease discounts while
improving consumer trust and
satisfaction with beef.
“Basically I’m a communica
tion link between the industry
and the cattle feeder,” said
Landis. “It’s an educational op
portunity linking the cattle
feeder and the Beef Council and
Penn State resources so we can
put things together and find you
your answers,” said Landis.
“We’re not out policing, we’re
there to help and to offer opin
ions, so you don’t have to be
afraid to get me out. We’re of
fering membership to a team, to
tie the ends together to be profit
able.”
Landis also hopes to develop a
database of Pennsylvania cattle
feeders to establish statewide av
erages of feedlots across the
commonwealth.
The program covers beef
quality assurance practices,
health, nutrition, implants,
bunk management, faciii
ties/ventilation, manure man-
agement, financial
management, and marketing.
