NALF Board Member Involved in the Chinese Montana Beef Deal
Fred Wacker of Cross Four Ranch, Miles City, Mont., went to Beijing for the signing on the Chinese Montana Beef Deal. Wacker is on the North American Limousin Foundation board of directors and chairs the Vision’ s committee. He also participates on the Nominating and Commercial Marketing committees. After the signing on October 23, Wacker now has to go out and get Montana ranchers to sign up.

The agreement includes a $ 100 million packing plant to be built in Montana, construction to begin next spring.
