National
Cattlemen’s Beef Association Director of Legislative Affairs Colin Woodall says
the stories Katie Couric did on the CBS Evening News regarding antibiotic use
have not had much of an impact. Instead - Woodall says the livestock industry
has had some success offsetting negative comments with Beef 101 briefings.
