Asked Questions |
 |

|
| Since
membership is selective, how can I become involved? |

Ranchers Renaissance for specifics about this innovative
cooperative for beef producers. They are happy to answer
your questions. |
|
| |
|
| How
many cattle must I commit to the program?
|
|
|
That
depends on your membership requirements. Your classification
as a Class A or Class B member will determine the number
of cattle you will need to commit. Class A members commit
a considerably larger number of cattle. Class A members
also can assume leadership positions within Ranchers
Renaissance.

|
| What
type of cattle are you looking for? |
|
|
Ranchers
Renaissance refers a minimum of 50 percent English
and maximum of 50 percent Continental breed influence.

|
| Are
you looking for cattle in a particular part of the United
States? |
|
| Currently,
cattle that fit Ranchers Renaissance specs are harvested
at the Excel plant in Friona, Texas. Cattle within a 500-mile
radius of the plant are preferred because transportation
cost variables will be a factor in determining participation
for producers at greater distances. |

|
| Why
Ranchers Renaissance? |
|
|
Ranchers
Renaissance is different from other producer-driven
beef programs in that there is an established partnership
between all
segments of the production chain. Another important
factor is that all collected information is shared.

partners. Members of Ranchers Renaissance also
make
a long-term commitment to the system and the brand.
