The ripple effect of this week's beef recall are industry wide. Tuesday Eyewitness News contacted local beef cattle producer and president of the Cattlemen's Association, Bruce Hafenfeld to find out what impact this has made on the industry.

Hafenfeld tells us that they fully support a thorough investigation as well as the interlocking safety protocols that are meant to ensure safe production.

Hafenfeld added that the state's beef cattle industry has always supported the ban on processing what are considered downed cattle, now required by state and federal law which is intended to protect the nation's food supply.
