It turns out that, over the last 7 years, over $1.2 million of federal money has been spent on something called the Livestock Marketing Information Center, located in a western subrurb of Denver.
The LMIC is a unique cooperative effort between state university extension specialists, USDA economists, industry cooperators and Center staff.

The fact that this information is repeated on at least three separate government websites may be taken as either confirmation or refutation of its claims, I suppose.
