What’s makes me nervous is any group large enough will metastasize away from it’s origins. The Church, the Boy Scouts, etc. The Cattleman group is no exception.
And like these above mentioned groups it will fail because those who originally attracted, will be repulsed by the change.
Btw. “Sustainability” is what my family practices as we have done so on the same land for over one hundred fifty years.
We done need no stinking mandate from the “WTF” or the Cattleman organization.
” Sustainability is what my family practices as we have done so on the same land for over one hundred fifty years”.
I respect that. Its usually the ones that are the closest to the land and the water that care the most for it.
Most people think “sustainable” is a benign buzz word that has come into vogue lately.
Here is a link to information that will shed some light on what its really all about:

BTW, these same “sustainability” policies have decimated the American fishing industry. I saw it go from a robust food producing industry back in the 70’s to today where those few who are left are struggling to survive,
It started with Clinton’s EO #12852 and continued with other EO’s thru the Obama regime.
Then the “Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Management Act” was amended to comply with “sustainability” mandates and the “UN Rio Declaration”.
Next was the “1996 Sustainable Fishing Act” passed by Congress.
As a result we are now importing well over 90% of the seafood consumed in the US despite provable, healthy fish stocks and most American fishermen are out of business today.
Most of that from communist countries which fits the Marxist transfer of wealth principals that “Sustainable Development is based on.
This came about from a media blitz propaganda campaign produced on fraudulent doom and gloom BS propagated by the same actors that will put most of the American beef producers out of business also. WWF, Earth First, The Nature Conservancy and Pew are major culprits.
I thought I was safe as I had a special, nitch area in the fishing business. I watched as others were being forced out of the business. Then, sure enough they came for me and in 2010 I sold my boat and permits.
“High Meat Intake” is listed as “Not Sustainable”.
If your in the beef industry you best pay attention to what is going on.
