Abstract
Conservation beef or “story beef” is increasingly available in the marketplace. Beef producers who are seeking additional income streams and ways to profit from good land management and animal husbandry practices may find such a niche strategy worth considering. And several small producers locally might band together in pursuing such a marketing plan.
