AUTHOR’S NOTE
Some conversations quoted in this book were, for the sake of clarity and cohe-
siveness, adapted from a composite of personal interviews, letters, e-mails, tele-
phone conversations, and other communications which occurred over a period of
time. Occasionally, these quotations were rephrased to remove abstruse techni-
cal wording. The persons who were quoted were given the opportunity to review
the resultant quotes and approve them as representative of their expert opinions.
Finally, to preserve the narrative flow of the original edition, I have updated the
figures quoted by Lynn Jacobs and Gene Bauston to reflect current grazing fees
and slaughter totals.
