The Road to profitable natural beef
The concept was as simple as Mel Coleman knew it work immediately.
”My daughter-in-law came here one day and said she would like to feed their children the kind of beef we had on the ranch,’’says Coleman, a fourth-generation cattle Rancher. ”We have never used growth hormones or stimulants. She said, ‘You are the physical collection of beef. Why not get started? “”
The proposal, which is now part of the Coleman family lore, was founded in 1978. A year later, Mr. Coleman began Coleman Natural Beef Inc., today announced the nation’s largest producer of meat increases, without drugs, hormones, antibiotics, growth promoters or other chemicals. The company has its headquarters in an office in downtown Saguache (pronounced Suh-Watch), a town of 650 people limited by robust net summit stabbed 31 km east of the Continental Divide.
Mr. Coleman is credited with executives and leaders of the cattle industry and the retail food with an early important trend in production could resume consumer confidence in beef as a healthy food and - 10 reverse years of declining turnover in beef and veal. In addition, Mr. Coleman ’s success is another indication that farmers innovative ready to adapt their practices to changing consumer needs and fill out new markets can thrive in a period of widespread fears in agriculture. Grand Union is the biggest customer
The turnover of the company have doubled each year since 1983 and reached $ 15 million for the year ending in June. Mr. Coleman and 30 other cattle in both countries under contracts with the company produces 20000 head of cattle sold and physical beef prices in the first 26 states. Its main customer is the supermarket chain Grand Union in metropolitan New York.
Mr. Coleman has for the spectacular success of the beef industry. During recent months by the Ministry of Agriculture, 11 other companies for marketing its beef, with a special label indicating chemicals has not been administered to animals before slaughter.
Retail food, happy, high turnover, are convinced that by mid-1990 the most beef are produced without chemicals and hormones. You say, hundreds of farmers change their production practices and in the hope that the trend in cash.
”The whole industry beef has to go on this road,’’said Bob Stitt, manager of fresh meat for the Grand Union Company, the country of the first supermarket chain in the market for natural beef. ”It is something that the public wants.”
Grand Union has mounted an aggressive advertising campaign on Coleman’s physical market for beef, and sales figures are natural, in spite of strong beef prices, which averaged $ 1 higher than that of a book beef raised with conventional chemical methods. Success breeds care
Other retailers have been conservative in their turnover normal beef-programs. With price differences, they were troubled by the unscrupulous breeders als”natürliche”Rindfleisch sale, was created by conventional chemical methods.
