Cattle and beef production represent the largest single segment of American agriculture. In fact, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) says more farms are classified as beef cattle operations (35%) than any other type.

The future of the 1 million cattle farmers and ranchers in this country depends on producing a safe, wholesome and nutritious food tailored to the needs of consumers. For many farmers and ranchers, raising cattle is a family tradition.
