Topic #1: Should we put more or less emphasis on export markets?
Longtime cattle industry official, Charlie Gracey, favours doing everything we can to win back markets and increase
exports. He has said, “We can export and thrive, or do nothing and die.”
On the other hand, there are those who argue that we are putting too much stock in export growth and should be putting
greater emphasis on our domestic market. Brian Nilsson of XL Foods has said, whether we like it or not the cow herd has
declined and the domestic market has already become more important to us. If we continue to focus so heavily on export
sales we will continue to be disappointed.
