The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) has adopted a resolution supporting U.S. CattleTrace and its mission of advancing disease traceability in the U.S. cattle industry.
Animal disease traceability is a priority in the U.S. beef cattle industry and has been included in the 2021-2025 Beef Industry Long Range Plans.
“We are humbled to have NCBA’s support and partnership,” said Brandon Depenbusch, U.S. CattleTrace board of directors’ chairman. “To truly achieve a nationally significant animal disease traceability system in the United States, we need partners across the industry—individual producers in all segments, industry organizations, like NCBA, technology, data and identification companies, and private-sector traceability organizations. This new partnership is a critical step in the expansion of U.S. CattleTrace and disease traceability.”
