This webinar for beef producers during the COVID-19 crisis focused on non-traditional marketing mechanisms. Even in this time of drought conditions, identifying other marketing avenues may be of benefit. Additionally, discussions regarding state-level inspections have been percolating in NM. The objective of this webinar is to provide NM beef producers with an update regarding current regulations for direct marketing of beef and potential changes in those regulations in the future. The webinar will be hallmarked with a few producers who have built successful businesses based on direct marketing of beef to consumers.

Alfredo Gonzalez & Sheri Spiegal, Jornada Experimental Range, and Cindy Tolle, Evergreen Ranching & Livestock, describe Raramuri Criollo, one biotype showing promise for profitable and sustainable production in the arid southwestern US. "The criollo is a very efficient cow on the land. They're super efficient grazers and converters of grass and other forages into high-quality meat."

Criollo Cattle were originally brought to the Americas by Christopher Columbus in 1496. Over 500 years of largely natural selection has allowed these animals to adapt to a wide variety of environments. Including the Raramuri Criollo here at the Jornada that are exceptionally well adapted to thrive in a harsh desert environment.
