First and foremost, Bob Stallman is a cattle producer and rice farmer from southeastern Texas. From there, he climbed up the ladder and was the President of the Texas Farm Bureau before becoming the President of the American Farm Bureau over a decade ago in January 2000. Yesterday, during the Food Dialogues Town Hall Meetings held in four different venues and via social media globally, Stallman also was in his role as the Chairman of the US Farmers and Ranchers Alliance, the coalition of groups and companies who hosted the event.
Stallman participated as a panelist at the Washington, DC venue, and handled several questions relating back to animal agriculture, as he drew on his experiences as a cattle producer in Texas.
Among the questions he handled- subtherapeutic use of antibiotics in livestock as well as the humane handling of animals on the farm and ranch. His responses are featured on today's Beef Buzz.
Stallman told the Town Hall in person and online gathering that he had personal experience in using antibiotics in a preventative manner, helping young beef heifers handle the stress of weaning and movement to ensure a safe and healthy transition into his beef cow herd.
