Superior Livestock Scholarship 2012
Superior Livestock Auction would like to extend an invitation for our 2012 scholarship award. This year’s question is: The United States Department of Agriculture reported the 2011 calf crop was estimated at 35.3 million head, the smallest since 1950. In addition, tighter beef supplies are expected to be reflected in the increase in retail beef prices. As these prices rise, chicken and pork remain cheaper alternatives. How do we as an industry keep the demand for beef strong in the United States? Applications can be downloaded here
And the family of the late Buddy Jeffers is also giving away an additional scholarship. Their question is: With the decrease in cattle numbers and the increase in cattle prices, what direction do you see the cattle industry going in the next five years? What factors will be involved and how do you feel the cattle industry as a whole will be affected?

"The American Dairy," on RFD-TV
A television series to air on RFD-TV, a 24-hour cable television network dedicated to rural America. “The American Dairy” is the first program dedicated solely to telling the story of America’s dairy farmers, the dairy industry and the journey of milk, from farm to fridge. Similar to its successful counterpart, “The American Rancher”, which helps to tell the story of America’s cattle ranchers, “The American Dairy” will work with dairy producers from all across the country to share their stories and educate America on the importance of dairy.
With the United States home to over 60,000 dairy farm families producing almost 177 billion pounds of milk annually, “The American Dairy” will work to put a face on the industry. From smaller farms that have been in the family for generations to new dairy’s that are utilizing modernized milking techniques, all are proud to call themselves dairy producers. With less than 2 percent of the U.S. population involved in farming today, many people don’t have the opportunity to visit a dairy farm. Add the fact that most people are three to four generations removed from the farm, and a pretty big information gap has evolved.
American Dairy’s goal is to bridge that communication gap and sort the fact from fiction. The American Dairy industry is more than just milk. The show takes a first- hand look of the dairy industry across our country and follows the dairy farm families working hard every day to bring wholesome dairy products to our country.
The American Dairy will share the good news covering topics from consumer nutrition to the environment and technology. Join us Tuesdays at 7PM EST and Wednesdays at 9AM EST.
