A CATTLE INDUSTRY MARKET OUTLOOK SEMINAR
The South Florida Beef/Forage Program, Florida Cooperative Extension
Service, in cooperation with Cattle-Fax, has developed
this seminar to provide information to beef cattle producers to assist in
understanding the cattle marketing sytem. The seminar will include
information on the structure of the industry from cow/calf producer to
retailer, market trends, economics of the different levels of the industry,
season price and production patterns, short and long term outlook,and a
look at alternative market options.
The seminar topics will be presented by ag marketing specialists
from Cattle-Fax. Cattle-Fax also provides market summary,
price and production information for nation wide publications such as Beef

We Feel that this will be a very informative program for beef producers
