[Animalconcerns]

GREAT BEND, Kan. - Japanese Consul General Takao Shibata told Kansas
government and beef industry leaders on Wednesday it is important his
country know what safety measures individual cattle-producing states are
taking to protect their beef supplies.

Shibata, head of the Japanese Consulate in Kansas City, Mo., toured Great
Bend Feeding, a 27,000-head feedlot in this central Kansas town along with
Gov. Kathleen Sebelius. She told reporters the state's beef logos are on
trucks in Japan and the state's beef is recognized in that country.

"We thought having him come to look at the operation was very important to
the state," Sebelius said.
