Country-of-Origin Beef Labeling

A new country-of-origin beef labeling law means that the paper trail for New Mexico cattle like this young calf will have to start immediately if producers want to steer clear of potential fines. Regulations are voluntary now, but become mandatory on Sept. 30 2004, just about when today's calves will head for market, said Ron Parker, head of the animal resources department with New Mexico State University's Cooperative Extension Service.
