Jim Warren, 101 Livestock, 2010 Beef Quality Assurance Award

Using his own common-sense approach and asking for ideas from experts like Temple Grandin to create the design, Jim has created a sale yard which stands out among other sale barns in the country in its ease of moving cattle comfortably through the market chain. Beef quality has been the number one goal of Jim and his management team for over 30 years. They started by improving animal health, and developed a physical plant the allowed for the most comfortable and humane transportation of cattle through the facility; next came the electronic ID (EID) program in 1999, followed by their Quality Systems Assessment and Process Verification Program, which were USDA-approved. Being on the leading edge of beef quality issues has kept both buyer and seller, doing business with 101 Livestock for more than three decades.
