- California Cattle Council – California Cattlemen’s President Mark Lacey along with Billy Gatlin, and Kirk Wilbur will be in attendance to talk about the referendum and answer your questions
California is holding a referendum for producers (beef and dairy) to vote if we want to create a Cattle Council. This will not be tied in any way to the Beef Check Off, and will be administered by a board of California Producers. This Board will focus on live cattle issues, it cannot be used for legal defense or lobbying and can be used for research. Voting is from 2/19 thought 3/22. Producers should be receiving ballots about now.
Attached are a 1-page FAQ and the 2-page brochure with more info. You can also find more info here: http://calcattlecouncil.org
