Dear Editor:
Cattle keep getting a bad rap and so many people say that they are bad for you so they dont eat beef. However, I found out some interesting information that I would like to share with everyone. Whether we eat beef or not, they are part of our everyday lives. Leather products, of course, but beef byproducts are also in cosmetics, soaps, toothpaste, paint, ice cream, fabric softeners, glue, asphalt, rubber tires, lubricants, printing ink, cement blocks, industrial cleaners and many pharmaceuticals. We are cattle people and proud of that, and we are thankful for what they do for us.
