 R-CALF USA Forms Alliance with Australia Producers

Bullard says alliance needs to expand to rest of the world. 

Compiled by staff 

R-CALF USA has formed an alliance with its Australian sister organization. During a recent visit to Australia R-CALF USA CEO Bill Bullard told his audience that there was need to form a strategic alliance to stand in opposition to global entities such as the World Organization for Animal Health  and the World Trade Organization. Bullard says they need to expand beyond their two countries and reach out to cattle producers in other nations so they can all stand together.

To begin the process of creating an effective and strategic alliance, Bullard said they must first have an accurate understanding of how our respective industries function and the particular forces now in play in our respective countries that allow the multinational beef packers to capture control of the live cattle industry away from live cattle producers.

According to Bullard, the forces working to capture control over the beef supply chain, meaning the live cattle industry, are global, but to effectively address this capture' of our respective industries by the multinational abattoirs, we must stop them, nation by nation.
