Getting Started in Reno
Posted by Chuck – February 4th, 2008
Hello and welcome to the 2008 Cattle Industry Convention in Reno, NV. Once again I’m happy to be your Beef Board Blogger. Over the next several days I’ll be posting pictures and interviews with Beef Board members and cattlemen attending the convention.
The activities really get kicked off tomorrow so look for a lot more to come. I’ll be covering events like this one.
This February, beef checkoff producer leadership and leading scientists will convene Thursday, Feb. 7, from 3-6 p.m. in Reno, Nev., at the Cattle Industry Annual Convention to discuss challenges and opportunities at a checkoff-funded roundtable discussion, “Diet and Cancer.” The roundtable will be held at the Reno Convention Center, Room A1.
“Checkoff dollars have been invested to help conduct extensive studies on the topic of red meat and cancer. In addition, America’s beef producers have committed considerable resources to provide lean beef and nutrition information for consumers to ‘go lean’ with protein and follow the Dietary Guidelines,” says Becky Walth, Chair of the Joint Nutrition Research Committee. “The roundtable discussion will communicate additional research that will help in the development of future nutrition research priorities for the beef industry.”
