Colin Woodall Looks Ahead to 2018 (No Music) by Beltway Beef

Since our offices are closed for the Christmas holiday, instead of interviewing an NCBA officer, rancher, or staffer, we’re broadcasting the audio from a year-in-review webinar that we hosted from our DC headquarters last week. It includes policy updates from NCBA’s president Craig Uden, as well as NCBA’s Colin Woodall, Allison Cooke, Kent Bacus, Danielle Beck, Scott Yager, and Ethan Lane. 2017 has been a very busy and eventful year for NCBA and the cattle industry and we want to thank you for everything you’ve done to make it a good one. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! (Music credit: "Turbo Tornado" by Admiral Bob, used via a Creative Commons license.)
