CAB Insider
Credit End Meats With CAB Value-Add
We focused on fourth-quarter middle meat demand as a beef price driver in the last edition of the Insider.

At the retail level, November brings a brief shift in focus, away from beef to turkey and ham, for Thanksgiving meals.

Success Stories
They run deep

Never gone dry

Sixty years later Bodey Langford connected the two, as brick-by-brick, he built a home where he and Kathy would raise daughters Anna and Callie. There on his late father’s ranch near Lockhart, Texas, he also built his herd with purpose.
