Time to Roll Up Sleeves & Dig In

2017 Strategy Forum on Livestock Traceability

Colorado Springs, CO--- “Animal health is a non-competitive issue,” says Terry R. Fankhauser, Executive Vice President of the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association, the Colorado affiliate of National Cattlemen's Beef Association, and Moderator for the upcoming NIAA/USAHA-hosted Strategy Forum on Livestock Traceability.

“Good animal management and stewardship should be on the same page,” says Fankhauser. “It’s a team sport.” He brings a producer perspective to the table, and a strong understanding of how animal health crosses so many entities

The Strategy Forum is very timely. After several months of various outreach activities, including public meetings and working sessions on the Animal Disease Traceability (ADT) program, feedback and suggestions from a state and federal working group addressing current traceability gaps will be presented.
