With Erin Borror, Economist, U.S. Meat Export Federation, and Elliott Dennis, Assistant Professor of Livestock Marketing, University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Exports account for a significant share of U.S. pork and beef production, especially for certain cuts, adding value to every animal produced.

The webinar will cover the current global demand for red meat, how U.S. beef and pork exports have been performing and how exports are related to livestock markets and meat prices.
