The Beef Industry: From Barnyard to Meat Packing and Processing
Number of pages:
10
ABSTRACT:
A 10 page overview of the modern beef industry. The author outlines the various levels of this industry starting with the producer and working up to the processor. The contention is presented that factors such as regulation and profitability have exerted pressure on the internal structure of the cattle business. Consequently, today we find few small players in this extremely important economic arena. While the industry is still comprised of a number of levels, each of those levels have been subjected to one degree or another to the influence of such factors as consolidation and the ever-strengthening control of large retail interests. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
