For more than a decade, southern Idaho’s cattle industry has been in need of a local processing solution, and CS Beef Packers — a joint venture between Simplot and Caviness Beef — plans to capitalize on that demand with efficiency, quality and right-sized growth.
The CS Beef plant was built on the beef industry experience of the Caviness team and the business will be supported by that expertise and the worldwide reach and acumen that Simplot brings to the table.
Recently, the USDA-AMS posted a notice on the Federal Register for comments on modernizing standards to allow for the use of documentation of actual age or dentition, a method used by the USDA’s Food Safety Inspection Services (FSIS), when determining beef carcass quality grades.
With the domestic beef cattle herd expansion and steady increases in supply, the state of the beef industry is evolving and there is reason for optimism moving forward.
With plenty of awards to hand out and record sales to boast about, Certified Angus Beef's annual conference was filled with good news and big opportunities for the brand and its member companies to grow even more in the coming year.
