U.S. CattleTrace, the industry-driven initiative for animal disease traceability, announced the release of their model for membership in the organization. As a not-for-profit who securely maintains and manages data collected as part of disease traceability, U.S. CattleTrace members will provide direction to the producer-led Board of Directors regarding the direction of the organization. In addition to their input, U.S. CattleTrace members will receive benefits such as access to educational materials, networking opportunities with other industry segments and up-to-date news regarding traceability.


“We are excited to welcome members to U.S. CattleTrace and grow our network of disease traceability advocates,” Callahan Grund, Executive Director of U.S. CattleTrace, said. “Without buy-in from all segments of the cattle industry, disease traceability will not be achievable. That is why we look forward to membership from each our segments, including individual producers, industry stakeholders and more.”
