Focuses on recent and current processing practices and numbers Looks to help answer the main question:

Are there sufficient numbers of animals to support a new slaughter and/or cut-wrap facility?

There are still producers we don’t know about There are producers outside of the immediate trade area that are potential users Contra Costa RCD also surveying beef producers Additional interviews will add to the final report

Asked

Do you sell meat or live on the hoof? How many animals do you process for meat (2013-2015) What facilities do you use? What distance do you travel for current processing? Why do you use the processors you use now?

More than half of the potential red meat and poultry throughput comes from 6

Numbers represented here are total potential. It does not predict what percent of

this production would go to a new facility in the first year(s).

How is the drought impacting the numbers reported?
