EPISODE 78 DETAILS U.S.-China Tariff War Cripples Agricultural Exports as Industry Faces Major Setbacks Triple-Digit Tariffs Disrupt U.S. Beef, Poultry, and Pork Exports to China and Hong Kong Triple-digit tariff rates on goods traded between the United States and China have “effectively closed that market for U.S. exports,” according to a source quoted by Politico from the agriculture industry. Despite the sharp decline in imports, China still purchased $25 billion worth of U.S. food and agricultural products last year. “Making up for that around the world is going to be very challenging,” the source emphasized. The Trump administration recently imposed new tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese goods, compounding already substantial levies. In response, China retaliated with tariffs reaching 125% on U.S. exports. Since early March, U.S. beef exports to China have come to a near standstill following Beijing's declaration that U.S. export licenses were no longer valid. Even before the full retaliation in early April, U.S. chicken exports to China dropped by 48% in February compared to the same month last year. In 2024, China and Hong Kong together accounted for $525 million in U.S. poultry meat and products (excluding eggs), ranking as the third-largest export market behind Mexico and Canada. Beef exports reached nearly $2 billion, just behind South Korea, while pork exports to the region surpassed $1.1 billion, trailing only Mexico and Japan.

It's The Ranch It Up Radio Show! Join me - Jeff Tigger Erhardt, Rebecca Wanner AKA BEC and my crew as we hear all about the how and why of virtual fencing. Could it work for your outfit?

Season 5, EPISODE 233 Virtual Fencing For Livestock Management Vence, developed by Merck Animal Health, is an innovative virtual fencing system designed to manage cattle movement without traditional physical fences. Utilizing GPS-enabled collars and solar-powered base stations, Vence allows ranchers to define and adjust grazing boundaries remotely, enhancing rotational grazing practices and reducing labor and fencing costs. How Virtual Fence From Vence Fence Works Base Stations: Solar-powered units are strategically placed to communicate with the collars, covering 5,000 to 10,000 acres depending on terrain. CattleRider Collars: Each cow wears a collar equipped with GPS and RF transceivers to track location and communicate with base stations. HerdManager System: Ranchers use this platform to set and modify virtual boundaries via tablet or computer, facilitating dynamic grazing management. Merck Animal Health USA Animal Guidance: As cattle approach virtual boundaries, collars emit sound cues; if ignored, a humane electric pulse is applied. Cattle learn to respond to these cues, minimizing the need for physical barriers.

EPISODE 77 DETAILS Trump Proposes Legal Return for Undocumented Farmworkers Farm Labor in the Spotlight Amid Deportation Plans During a cabinet meeting on Thursday, President Donald Trump proposed a potential exception to his broader deportation agenda—specifically for undocumented farmworkers. Trump suggested that some of these workers could legally return to the United States if they first leave the country and are later vouched for by American farmers. "We're going to work with farmers … for certain people, that we're going to let them stay in for a while and work … and then come back and go through a legal process," Trump stated. A Workforce at Risk: Half of U.S. Farm Labor Is Undocumented According to a report by the Center for Migration Studies, approximately 50% of the U.S. agricultural workforce is undocumented. This includes critical roles in not just crop farming but also in the meat and dairy industries—sectors heavily reliant on immigrant labor. Farm groups have long cautioned that aggressive immigration enforcement could severely disrupt food production, leading to potential labor shortages, increased food prices, and long-term instability in the agricultural supply chain. Farmers as Gatekeepers to Legal Status? While the president didn't provide specific policy details, his comments suggest that a farm-based sponsorship system could be part of future immigration reform efforts. Under this concept, farmers would play a pivotal role in identifying workers essential to their operations who might qualify for temporary or permanent legal status. Industry Response: Balancing Enforcement and Economic Reality Agricultural leaders have expressed concern about the consequences of mass deportations on their ability to sustain operations. Many argue that a pragmatic, stable guest-worker program is critical for the future of American agriculture. By offering a potential path for legal return, even with initial deportation, Trump's remarks may indicate some recognition of the industry's dependence on this labor force.

Cattle Industry News Trump's Tariffs Trigger Chinese Retaliation, Impacting U.S. Meat Exports President Donald Trump ordered new tariffs on Chinese goods, raising total duties to 104% starting Wednesday in response to China's retaliation against earlier U.S. measures. In return, China imposed steep tariffs on U.S. meat—56% on beef and 81% on pork—effective Thursday, according to the U.S. Meat Export Federation. This move threatens a major market, as China and Hong Kong were the third-largest U.S. pork buyers at $1.14 billion and the second-largest for beef at nearly $2 billion last year. Meanwhile, Mexico—America's top pork buyer—has not yet responded to separate U.S. tariffs outside the USMCA agreement.

This system, adopted by Sustainable Beef LLC, is set to transform the industry by offering competitive premiums for upper two-thirds Choice carcasses, regardless of hide color. Angus, Red Angus & Charolais Cross Cattle Receive Same Premium Tom Brink, RAAA CEO, announced that Sustainable Beef LLC, opening in April 2025 in North Platte, Nebraska, will implement a color-blind grid system, equally rewarding Red Angus, Black Angus, and smoky cattle. “This system levels the feeder calf market, allowing feedlots to confidently invest in Red Angus and black-hided cattle, knowing both will qualify for top premiums,” Brink said. Kelly Smith, RAAA Director of Commercial Marketing, emphasized RAAA's efforts to connect Red Angus producers with feedlots through its feeder cattle network. He highlighted that FCCP-tagged cattle will meet the Angus label's genetic verification standards, ensuring seamless access to premium marketing opportunities. Mark Nelson, Sustainable Beef's Director of Cattle Procurement, reinforced the company's commitment to sustainability and producer profitability. Sustainable Beef will provide an exceptional work environment and favor moderate carcass sizes, which naturally benefits Red Angus genetics. The RAAA-Sustainable Beef collaboration represents a significant step forward in ensuring equitable market opportunities for all quality cattle. This initiative will drive profitability for producers while delivering high-quality beef to consumers. For more details, visit RedAngus.org. Cattle Industry News JBS Sees Strong Demand Despite Challenges In The U.S. Cattle Cycle According to JBS executives, JBS expects a more challenging US cattle supply scenario in 2025 compared to last year, when strong beef consumption and initiatives to improve commercial and operational efficiencies contributed to the performance of the US beef business unit. Executives commented saying that the U.S. cattle cycle will likely be more challenging this year, regardless of the speed of herd replacement, specifically saying that JBS Beef North America's margins still have room to improve by 1% to 1.5% in 2025 due to the company's initiatives to improve commercial and operational efficiencies. Robust demand continues to support the company's investments in expanding its US meat processing and prepared food facilities. In February, JBS announced $200 million in investments to expand its beef production facilities in Cactus, Texas, and Greeley, Colo.

Beef Sales To China Plummet March 2025 Showed A Dramatic Drop Is Beef Sales To China New data from the USDA revealed steep declines in beef sales to China following the expiration of trade licenses. According to USDA/FAS data collected by USMEF, beef net sales to China for March 7-13 "plummeted" 92% from the previous week, and for March 14-20, they fell 97%. Overall through March 20, beef net sales to all countries are 43% lower than the previous four-week average. Additional analysis from Steiner Consulting Group found that outstanding beef sales to China are 24% lower year over year. The trade licenses, which were granted in the "Phase 1" trade deal with China in 2020, provide hundreds of U.S. meat plants with access to the Chinese market. However, following a 20% U.S. tariff on all Chinese exports, the Chinese Communist Party promised "strong, powerful countermeasures," which have included not only the expiring licenses, but also additional tariffs on exports of U.S. poultry (15%) and pork (10%). Trade licenses to pork and poultry processors were renewed. According to FAS, China was the U.S.' No. 3 agricultural export market in 2024, with $1.58 billion in beef, $1.11 billion in pork, and $490.11 million in poultry sales.

While avian influenza had already been detected in cattle and other mammals, including in the United States, the infection of a sheep will increase concern over the potential impact of the disease's spread. There have been cases among humans which have ranged in severity from no symptoms to, in rare cases, death. But there has not yet been any confirmed transmission between humans. The virus is spread through contact with infected birds or other species, including through touching their droppings and bedding, although people can also catch the virus by killing or preparing infected poultry for cooking. Avian flu has been detected in cattle in the United States, with the Centers for Disease Control reporting 41 cases and 989 dairy herds affected as of last Friday. Experts say the risk of avian flu to the general public is very low. Mexico Pushing For More Domestic Pork Facing Trade War Mexico has become a huge importer of U.S. pork, but the government in Mexico City is now talking about self-sufficiency as trade tensions with Washington are about to intensify. In a recent meeting with domestic producers, the Mexican Agriculture Minister pointed out that the country's own pork sector only meets 53% of demand. Imports last year reached 1.4 million metric tons, a large majority from the neighboring United States. President Donald Trump, in early February, threatened 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada, imposed taxes on large numbers of imports from both countries in early March and has vowed to tariff most other products on April 2. Canada has already retaliated against some U.S. products including chicken, while Mexico is poised to impose tariffs on exports including meats if the United States carries out its threat next week.  Pork demand has soared as Mexico has become more affluent. Last year, 38% of U.S. pork and pork variety meat exports went to Mexico. By value, exports to Mexico jumped 10% in 2024 to nearly $2.6 billion, more than the next two markets, China/Hong Kong and Japan combined. The value of U.S. pork exports to Mexico has more than doubled from $1.15 billion in 2020, and the USDA's Foreign Agricultural Service projected further growth this year before trade policy disruptions. Sustainable Beef Plant Comes To Nebraska A crowd estimated at more than 1,200 people witnessed a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a $400-million cattle processing plant this week in North Platte, Neb., a project that Sustainable Beef LLC originally announced in 2021. The new facility is expected to provide about 850 jobs and expand beef processing capacity in the area in addition to establishing more long-term sustainable growth for local cattle producers and family farms. The facility is expected to process an estimated 1,500 head per day, according to Sustainable Beef officials.  We will have more on Sustainable Beef LLC and its new fed cattle grid pricing system with Red Angus Cattle on next week's program.   RanchChannel.Com Now Has The Futures Markets & New Listings Futures Markets RanchChannel.com now has futures markets at your fingertips!  Feeder Cattle, Live Cattle, Corn, Wheat, Soybeans, Soybean Oil, Milk Class IV, and Ethanol.  Information is provided by DTN and market information may be delayed by as much as 10 minutes.  Click Here for more information!

EPISODE 74 DETAILS Consumer Meat Trends: Ground Beef No. 1 Millennial Meat Consumers Prefer Ground Beef Over All Other Meats Consumer trends, food trends, how have these trends changed?  Who is consuming our product and why.  That was the purpose of the Power of Meat Presentation at the 2025 Annual Meat Conference.  The 20th such survey, the Power of Meat polled more than 1,600 consumers, and overlaid their responses with data from in-person consumer interviews and various other avenues with particular attention given to millennial shoppers as they start to take the place as meat consumers. According to the survey, ground beef was the number 1 food category of the year – among 85,000 other foods - in terms of dollar growth from 2023 to 2024, and chicken was not far behind at No. 10. All told, ground beef sales last year were up 9.6% to $15.3 billion, with unit sales up 6.8% to $1.6 billion. With a lot of focus on the millennial shopper here are some of the compelling trends that were established: With 94% of consumers concerned about the cost of living (“astronomical” was a frequent word among surveys), and the average price per unit of meat up 34% from 2019, more and more consumers want to recreate the restaurant experience at home; as a result, retail sales for meat reached $104.6 billion in 2024 (up 1%), and pounds hit 22.8 billion (up 2.3%). 72% of consumers said they'd return to normal restaurant purchases if their budget allowed it. Of the meat case's 2024 growth in units sold, millennials accounted for 62% of that growth, and for dollar sales growth. The survey showed opportunities for processors to advertise specific features on their product's packaging, including: cook times; proper cooking appliances (especially air fryers for millennials); the nutrients in meat, such as zinc and iron; and finally, messaging around animal welfare, which is prominent in the UK and other European markets.

EPISODE 73 DETAILS Pork & Poultry To China; Beef Left Waiting U.S. Pork and Poultry Exports to China Resume, But Beef Industry Awaits License Renewals In a significant development for U.S. agriculture, pork and poultry producers have regained access to Chinese markets, while beef exporters remain in limbo. The General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) recently restored export licenses for over 300 U.S. pork processing and cold storage facilities, securing trade for the next five years. However, U.S. beef companies are still waiting for confirmation that their "expired" licenses under the Phase 1 trade agreement will be renewed. China Reopens Market For U.S. Pork & Poultry According to the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC), the agreement reinstates billions of dollars in U.S. pork and poultry exports. Major producers such as Cargill Inc., Smithfield Foods, and Tyson Foods Inc. will now resume shipments to China, ensuring steady demand for American meat products. In 2024 alone, U.S. pork exports to China totaled over 367,000 metric tons, valued at approximately $1.1 billion. Uncertainty Looms For U.S. Beef Exports Despite these positive developments, the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF) has confirmed that the recent license renewals did not extend to beef producers. The U.S. beef industry exported an estimated 170,000 metric tons to China in 2024, making it a critical market. However, industry analysts at Stephens Inc. caution that uncertainty remains until the registration status is clarified. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) noted that China has yet to respond to renewal requests for U.S. beef export registrations. Over the past few days, the registration status of U.S. meat exports shifted from "existing" to "expired," raising concerns within the industry. Without clarity from Chinese authorities, American beef producers face potential trade disruptions. Implication For U.S. Beef Producers With pork and poultry exports back on track, the focus now shifts to securing access for U.S. beef. Industry leaders and trade officials continue to push for renewed agreements, emphasizing the importance of stability in international trade. As the situation unfolds, stakeholders in the U.S. beef sector remain hopeful for a resolution that reinstates access to one of the world's largest meat markets. Stay tuned for updates on this developing trade issue and its impact on the U.S. meat industry.   Upcoming Bull & Heifer Sales On RanchChannel.Com Lot's of bull and heifer sales coming up on the RanchChannel.Com sale calendar.  Eichacker Simmentals & JK Angus, Fast/Dohrmann/Strommen Angus and Leland/Koester Red Angus are all the upcoming sales.  Check out the full line up HERE.

Join Jeff Tigger Erhardt, Rebecca Wanner AKA BEC and my crew as we answer listener questions about electronic id tags.  Plus updates on the tariff war, news, sale recaps, cattle sale info and market commentary that you will only get on this all new episode of The Ranch It Up Radio Show. Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. Season 5, EPISODE 228 Electronic ID Tags Q & A & News And Tariff Updates What Are The Pro's & Con's Of Electronic Animal I.D. Electronic Identification Tags From Merck As the leading provider of EID tags and readers through the Allflex® brand, Merck Animal Health wants to support cattle producers in their decision-making with the expertise and solutions they need. Key Distinctions With Official ID Rules The new policy only applies to interstate movement. Other exemptions include direct-to-slaughter cattle and sexually intact cattle (and bison) under 18 months of age. Animals that will need electronically and visually readable tags when they enter interstate movement include: Sexually intact cattle and bison 18 months or older All dairy cattle, including beef-on-dairy crossbred animals Cattle and bison of any age used for rodeo, recreation events, shows or exhibitions Another important detail: Visual ear tags applied before Nov. 5, 2024, will be recognized as official IDs for the life of the animal. They'll be grandfathered in and will not need an EID. Easing The Financial Burden Producers and the livestock industry have raised concerns about the potential cost burden of the new tagging policies. Congress recently directed USDA-APHIS to allocate no less than $15 million for the cost of tags and related infrastructure to help offset those costs.2 Producers may be able to access EID tags for free via their state veterinarian. They can apply those tags at approved tagging sites. Producers can also buy EIDs directly from a distributor, online vendor or local dealer and apply the tags themselves. In addition, producers are not required to invest in tag-reading hardware or software, unless they choose to do so for herd management and record keeping. The EID tags can be used the same way as visual tags. Addressing Data Privacy Concerns EID tags are encoded with a number that identifies the animal, but no owner-specific information. The data associated with the tags will be stored in various federal and state databases. Access to that data will also be restricted to the state and federal officials responsible for managing high-impact diseases of the cattle industry. USDA agnostic on EID tags USDA isn't mandating or recommending any one brand of ear tag. Tags must be approved by the department and will be imprinted with the Official Eartag Shield. The Allflex radio frequency ID (RFID) tags offered by Merck Animal Health meet these standards. They use a short-read range that doesn't interfere with radio frequencies commonly found in livestock operations. Allflex tags do not include any global positioning system (GPS) capabilities. Producers also use these RFID tags to track health protocols, performance, reproduction and genetics. The new tagging requirements are intended to bolster the industry's tracing capabilities in the event of a disease outbreak. Contact your Merck Animal Health representative or tag supplier to find out how Allflex tags can help you comply with these rules while managing your beef or dairy operation more efficiently.

China's tariff on U.S. pork will increase from 37% to 47%, while its tariff on U.S. beef will rise from 12% to 22%. Additionally, U.S. poultry products now face a 15% tariff. According to USDA analysis, China and Hong Kong account for 5% of U.S. poultry exports, 15% of pork exports, and 14% of beef exports. Announced last week, the tariffs are a retaliation against a new 20% U.S. tariff on Chinese goods, and also cover wheat, corn, cotton, sorghum, soybeans, fruits and vegetables, dairy and fish. China also blocked 15 U.S. companies from buying Chinese products, and another 10 companies from doing business in China; those companies, though, are not in agriculture. In a March 8 press release from the Chinese government, the Foreign Minister told the United States to rethink what it has achieved from the tariff and trade wars these years — whether its trade deficit has widened or narrowed, whether its manufacturing has become more or less competitive, whether its inflation has gone up or down, and whether the lives of its people have become better or worse. Tariffs: Canada Keeps Poultry Tariffs, Postpones Beef & Pork Canada's 25% tariffs on imports of U.S. chicken will remain in place, while the looming start of an identical levy against beef and pork has been postponed until April 2. The Canadian Finance Minister announced the decisions, after the U.S. President Donald Trump signed orders postponing or easing 25% tariffs on large amounts of Canadian and Mexican goods. Trump placed  tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico, demanding more action against drug trafficking and illegal border crossing, while claiming that trade deficits constituted “subsidies” to the United States' neighbors. In the Oval Office, a White House aide said that the latest executive order excludes goods certified for entry under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) from 25% tariffs until April 2, when Trump is threatening to impose “reciprocal” global tariffs. Cars and car parts will be temporarily spared, while Canadian potash — an important fertilizer — will only be taxed at 10% “in order to help our farmers at this crucial time of year. The aide went on to say, quote, “So this is a modification to our tariff regime to protect American car manufacturers and American farmers.” The fast-moving trade wrangling between the North American governments follows concerns voiced by Democrats and some Farm Belt Republicans in Congress about disrupted trade with two of the biggest customers for  U.S. agricultural goods, especially meat. Canada and Mexico combined buy 31% of U.S. poultry exports, 45% of pork exports and 26% of beef exports. The Mexican President had promised a reciprocal action including tariffs, with U.S. meat products a likely target.

EPISODE 72 DETAILS Latest Tariff Updates Tariff Updates:  European Union The European Union announced plans for tariffs on $28.3 billion worth of U.S. goods in response to the 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports that the U.S. imposed on Wednesday. The counter-tariffs are seen as strategically calculated to deliver a blow to the economies of those U.S. states that have been most supportive of President Trump, and include tariffs on beef and poultry products. Other items on the list include bourbon, motorcycles, peanut butter and jeans. The EU tariffs would be expected to go into effect beginning mid-April, according to a report by Bloomberg. At the same time, EU leadership indicated that it is open to further negotiations. “The disruption caused by tariffs is avoidable if the US administration accepts our extended hand and works with us to strike a deal,” EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic was quoted by Bloomberg as saying. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said at the same press conference, “We firmly believe that in a world fraught with geo-economic and political uncertainties, it is not in our common interest to burden our economies with such tariffs.” Meanwhile, Canada is due to impose, on Thursday, 25% reciprocal tariffs on steel and aluminum products and other U.S. goods that the country imports from the United States.

Join me Jeff Tigger Erhardt, Rebecca Wanner AKA BEC and my crew as we dive into Foot & Mouth Disease, Animal Health & Disease Management.  A must hear for anyone in the cattle business.  Plus news, sale recaps, cattle sale info and market commentary that you will only get on this all new episode of The Ranch It Up Radio Show. Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. Season 5, EPISODE 227 Animal Health & Disease Management:  Should We Be Concerned & Tariff Updates Improving Animal & Disease Management Practices: Foot & Mouth Disease, and Tariff News Foot & Mouth Disease: In Livestock Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a severe, fast-spreading viral disease that primarily affects cloven-hoofed animals, including cows, pigs, sheep, goats, and deer. FMD is one of the most challenging animal diseases to control. Although most infected animals survive, they're left weak and unable to produce the level of meat and milk prior to infection. FMD was first discovered in the United States in 1870 and eradicated in 1929. FMD is not a human health or food safety threat. The disease is not related to hand, foot, and mouth disease, a common childhood illness caused by a different virus. How To Identify Foot & Mouth Disease There are 7 known types and more than 60 subtypes of the FMD virus, meaning immunity to one type doesn't protect animals against other types or subtypes. The first signs of illness usually appear within 2 to 14 days after infection. Here's what to look for: Fever Great increase in temperature for 2 to 3 days Blisters/Vesicles Blisters can develop on the tongue and lips, in and around the mouth, on the mammary glands, and around the hooves. They rupture and discharge clear or cloudy fluid. Erosions When blisters pop, they leave raw, eroded areas surrounded by ragged fragments of loose tissue. Excess saliva Infected animals may have sticky, foamy, and stringy saliva. Loss of appetite Painful tongue and mouth blisters may lead animals to eat less. Lameness and a reluctance to move or stand Abortions Animals can experience spontaneous abortions and sterility. Milk Dairy cows may have low milk production. Heart disease and death These symptoms are especially prevalent in newborn animals. FMD Can Easily Be Confused With Other Diseases FMD may be confused with other diseases that produce blisters, including vesicular stomatitis, bluetongue, bovine viral diarrhea, foot rot in cattle, and swine vesicular disease. The only way to tell if the blisters are caused by the FMD virus is through laboratory testing. If you observe mouth or feet blisters in your animals, report them immediately so that they can be tested. How To Prevent Foot & Mouth Disease Report signs of disease. Livestock owners, livestock transport and slaughter personnel, and private veterinarians should watch for symptoms of FMD and immediately report sick animals to Federal, State, Tribal, or local animal health officials. This is especially important if the animals in question have had contact with other animals at locations like livestock markets, feedlots, or fairgrounds. Be careful what you pack. When traveling outside of the United States, don't bring back any prohibited items (including food) or dirty footwear or clothing that could potentially move the FMD virus or other disease agents. Declare to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Upon entering the United States, travelers should indicate to the U.S. Customs any visits to farms, ranches, or other areas where livestock are raised or kept. You should also declare any visits to zoos, circuses, fairs, and other facilities or events where animals were exhibited. Follow a “5-day” rule. If you visited a farm or had any contact with livestock on your trip, you should avoid all contact with livestock, zoo animals, or wildlife for 5 days after you return to the United States. If you're returning with pet dogs or cats that have had contact with livestock or been in areas frequented by livestock, make sure your pet's feet, fur, and bedding are free of any dirt or mud and that their bedding doesn't contain straw, hay, or other natural materials. Bathe your pet as soon as you reach your final destination and keep it from all livestock for at least 5 days after returning to the United States. Controlling By APHIS  Foot & Mouth Disease Because FMD occurs in many parts of the world, there's always a chance it could be reintroduced into the United States. APHIS continuously monitors FMD worldwide. Our veterinarians stationed overseas help other countries control and eradicate the disease, which reduces the risk of it spreading to the United States. At ports of entry, we work with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Customs and Border Protection to screen cargo and prevent travelers from bringing any products of concern into the United States. We restrict or prohibit imports of many animals and animal byproducts from areas known to be affected with FMD. We also work with the U.S. Armed Forces to make sure military vehicles and equipment are properly cleaned and disinfected before they return to the United States from international duty. Across the country, APHIS and other Federal, State, and Tribal animal health officials work with accredited veterinarians to monitor domestic livestock for FMD. We have response plans in place that we can quickly activate if the disease is found in the United States.  Click HERE for additional details. Tariffs: China Targets U.S Agriculture For Retaliation of 20% The United States plans to impose a 20% tariff on Chinese goods, could result in a significant escalation in trade tensions between the two economic giants. In response, China is reportedly preparing countermeasures that could directly impact U.S. agriculture and food exports. According to The Global Times, the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party, Beijing "will definitely carry out strong, powerful countermeasures" if the U.S. increases the current 10% tariff. The report indicates that American agricultural products, including beef and pork, are "most likely" to be targeted with new tariffs. The trade uncertainty is already shaking U.S. agricultural markets. Hog futures have dropped 6% in recent trading sessions, according to the Daily Livestock Report (DLR). China and Hong Kong together account for 19% of U.S. beef exports and 6.5% of pork exports—significant figures that highlight the stakes of these trade tensions. As it stands, China has already imposed a 37% tariff on U.S. pork and a 12% tariff on U.S. beef, making American meat exports less competitive in the Chinese market. A further escalation could worsen the situation for U.S. farmers and ranchers. With agriculture facing potential economic strain, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Rollins has signaled readiness to implement relief measures. She indicated that a financial aid package similar to the $28 billion bailout deployed during the 2018 trade war under President Trump could be reintroduced. However, reports suggest that only $4 billion remains in the fund earmarked for agricultural assistance in 2025, raising concerns about the adequacy of available support. All eyes are on how China will respond and what further actions the U.S. might take. The agricultural sector, already facing global market challenges, is bracing for potential disruptions. For farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses, staying informed about trade policy developments is crucial. If China follows through with its threats, the impact could be widespread across U.S. agriculture, affecting prices, exports, and overall farm profitability. Canada and Mexico are also in the cross hairs of trade tariffs with both countries promising immediate retaliatory responses.

Season 5, EPISODE 226 Data Decides The Bulls At Keller Broken Heart Ranch & Beef Checkoff Updates Using Technology At Keller Broken Heart Ranch For Bull Selection Genetics That Combine Data & Functionality At Keller Broken Heart Ranch, great cattle are more than just numbers—they must also look and function well. This philosophy has produced standout donor cows like WS Miss Sugar C4 and BarCK 106Z, whose offspring consistently lead the herd and excel in other breeding programs nationwide. These cows and their progeny have shaped the Keller herd's genetics, with their descendants now leading the charge in improving carcass traits and maintaining physical quality. Sons of these donors are used in AI programs, and daughters have become foundational to future breeding success. A Vision For Continuous Improvement The Kellers embrace the mindset of lifelong learners, always striving to improve their herd. By mating cattle on paper and analyzing performance data, leveraging RightMate by Allied Genetic Resources, the Keller Broken Heart Ranch achieves uniformity in their herd without sacrificing performance. Focus on data-driven decision-making has become the cornerstone of their success. This commitment to innovation and adaptability ensures that Keller Broken Heart Ranch remains a leader in the Simmental and SimAngus industries, producing cattle that excel in data, performance, and visual appeal. The Future Outlook  The ranch remains steadfast in its mission: to improve the herd. By annually selling 120 bulls and 80 heifers, the Kellers stay dedicated to producing cattle with high marks on the ASA (American Simmental Association) All-Purpose Index (API) and Terminal Index (TI). Some Say The DOGE Should Look At The Beef Checkoff According to Meating Place, the Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund United Stockgrowers of America or R-CALF, CEO Bill Bullard encouraged ranchers and cattlemen to reach out to President Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to request the agency audit the USDA's Beef Checkoff Program.  Bullard said that we've long argued that the beef checkoff program, which is a USDA program that requires cattle producers to pay $1 for every head of cattle they sell; and it collects about $70 million each year, which he says, much of that comes from producers who do not support the mandatory government program.  He went on to say that while the beef checkoff program is supposed to fund education, promotion and research for beef, and not fund lobbying, evidence of abuse has surfaced and an independent audit report found that $216,000 of mandatory producer contributions had been misspent. The Beef Checkoff has strong cattle producer support, according to The National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA), and undergoes annual audits and posts that information on their website. NCBA Vice President of Government Affairs Ethan Lane told Meating Place that the Beef Checkoff is an example of individual farmers and ranchers coming together to create a program that conducts research, educates consumers and builds demand for beef with a return on investment to producers of $13.41 for every $1 invested—all while operating with annual financial audits, strict oversight and at no cost to American taxpayers. R-CALF is a non-profit organization serving as a voice for independent cow-calf and sheep producers and feeders across America. NCBA is a non-profit trade association representing U.S. cattle producers.  DOGE is a temporary contracted organization under the United States Digital Service, which has asked the public to contact the organization with ideas for “reducing waste, fraud and abuse.” Imports Of Mexican Cattle Are Expected To Resume  A temporary suspension of imports of Mexican cattle into the United States is ending, according to several reports. The Mexican Agriculture Minister said that USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service  or  (APHIS) signed the first memorandums to allow the suspension to be lifted. The National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) thanked the Trump administration and USDA for “working swiftly” to protect the U.S cattle supply from the threat of New World Screwworm, which sparked the import suspension late last year. APHIS has developed a comprehensive protocol that involves layers of veterinary inspections and treatment to prevent the spread of screwworm and other types of ticks and insects.

EPISODE 70 DETAILS Brucellosis Found In Wyoming Cattle Cowherds Quarantined Because Of Wyoming Brucellosis Routine surveillance testing has identified brucellosis affected cattle herds in Wyoming. One herd is in Park County which borders Yellowstone National Park and Montana. The other is in Sublett County in west-central Wyoming. While the two counties are not contiguous, they are connected by forested areas and mountain ranges. Both herds are located within Wyoming's Brucellosis Designated Surveillance Area (DSA) and were quarantined following confirmation of the test results. No contact herd quarantines are anticipated. The Wyoming Livestock Board (WLSB) currently has three herds in Park County and another herd in Sublette County under brucellosis quarantine. Testing of affected herds is a cooperative effort between herd owners and private veterinary practitioners. USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and Veterinary Services (VS) personnel participate. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department cooperates with federal agencies in surveillance and diagnostics of brucellosis. In cattle and bison, the bacteria of concern is Brucella abortus. Brucellosis or “bangs disease” has been in the U.S. since the 1930s. All 50 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are today considered brucellosis-free—except in livestock near the Greater Yellowstone Area (GYA) where wild bison and elk often intermingle with cattle in the last remaining reservoir of this disease in the U.S.  For the full article, click HERE.

Season 5, EPISODE 225 Dry Creek Ranch Red Angus, Retail Beef Sales & Cattle Markets Why Red Angus, 2025 Retail Meat Sale Trends Dry Creek Ranch Red Angus:  Performance, Efficiency & Longevity At Dry Creek Ranch, we understand the importance of adaptability in cattle. Our Red Angus bulls are bred to thrive in diverse conditions—whether it's extreme heat, drought, or heavy snowfall.

By focusing on low input costs, high performance, and sustainable land management, we aim to offer some of the highest-quality genetics available. No matter the size of your operation, we are committed to providing Red Angus bulls that help maximize your herd's productivity and long-term success. Dry Creek Ranch:  Bull Development Only the top-performing calves are selected to become bulls, ensuring the highest-quality genetics for your herd. Dry Creek Ranch Red Angus bulls are raised in a natural pasture environment, where they have access to free-choice hay and are supplemented with a specially formulated bull developer pellet and a comprehensive mineral package. We focus on slow, steady growth to ensure a moderate rate of gain, with longevity and long-term performance as our primary goals. Our commitment is to develop bulls that will stand the test of time, delivering reliable performance for years to come! Dry Creek Ranch:  Genomic Testing All Red Angus bulls have been GGP-uLD tested for increased accuracy EPDs and parent verification. Retail Beef Demand Stays Strong in 2025 According to Oklahoma State University Extension Livestock Marketing Specialist Derrell Peel, The all-fresh retail beef price for January was $8.15/lb., up 4.3% year over year.  All-fresh beef retail prices have averaged 5.2% higher month over month for the last year leading to retail all-fresh beef prices for the past twelve months at a record average level of $8.27/lb. Per capita beef consumption in 2024 was unexpectedly higher at 59.7 pounds as a result of constant domestic beef production and larger net imports of beef. The combination of increased beef consumption and higher prices he says indicates stronger beef demand.   All-fresh retail beef prices continue to increase relative to pork and broiler prices.  Wholesale Choice beef cutout prices have averaged 11.8% higher year over year for the first six weeks of 2025. Prices are higher for all primals with stronger prices for end meats relative to middle meats.  Prices for rib primals are up 9.2% year over year with loins prices up 4.6% compared to the first six weeks a year ago.  Chuck prices are 14.8% higher and round primal prices are up 22.3% year over year.  Prices for most wholesale beef cuts are higher thus far in 2025 compared to one year ago Most steak prices are higher, including Strip Loins and Ribeye. The most notable exception is weaker prices for Tenderloin in recent weeks.  Strong prices and numerous lean carcass cuts, primarily from the round, are supported by increased grinding demand for ground beef production.

EPISODE 69 DETAILS Line 1 Hereford Cattle & Nebraska Cultivated Meat Update Line 1 Hereford Cattle For Sale, Division about Nebraska Cultivated Meat Ban EF1 Cattle Company:  Why Line 1 Hereford Cattle Welcome to EF1 Cattle Company where our Line 1 Herefords are meticulously linebred to ensure consistent, high-performing genetics, making them a top choice for commercial beef production. Their proven predictability enhances herd uniformity, fertility, and feed efficiency, adding long-term value for ranchers focused on genetic improvement. EF1 Cattle Company Line 1 Hereford Cattle:  Built For Longevity, Soundness, & Exceptional Performance At EF1 Cattle Company, our Line 1 Hereford two-year-old bulls are carefully raised using a “low and slow” approach to ensure optimal longevity, soundness, and performance in real-world conditions. These bulls are raised entirely on their mothers' milk, with no creep feed, to develop naturally. We wean in early winter and transition to a developing ration, preparing bulls for spring turnout on lush grass where their superior genetics truly shine. During their second year, our Line 1 Hereford bulls spend summer and fall grazing native grass, with access to free-choice minerals and salt. As sale time nears, bulls are moved to a 40-acre paddock near headquarters, where they receive a precisely balanced, low mega-calorie ration. Unlike other bulls pushed too hard for fast growth, our bulls develop muscle shape and thickness gradually—just like an athlete training steadily for peak performance. This method ensures the bulls have the endurance to cover more cows while maintaining their condition, making them an ideal choice for ranchers seeking long-lasting, high-performance genetics. Nebraska Ag Interests Push Back On Proposed Cultivated Meat Ban At least two major ag groups are not supporting a proposal to ban cultivated proteins as proposed last month by Neb. Gov. Jim Pillen and State Sen. Barry DeKay. The Nebraska Farm Bureau and Nebraska Cattlemen separately announced support for specific provisions in the proposal that requires special labeling and standards for protein derived from the cells of food animals, but the entities do not support a total ban of the lab-produced products. The Farm Bureau supports the restriction of plant-based and cultivated proteins being labeled “meat” and favors establishment of state-level laws covering potential mislabeling of such proteins. Similarly, the Cattlemen support clear labeling requirements for alt-proteins but not a complete ban as product developers should be able to compete in the marketplace SPONSORS Trans Ova Genetics https://transova.com/ @TransOvaGenetics American Gelbvieh Association https://gelbvieh.org/ @AmericanGelbvieh Allied Genetic Resources https://alliedgeneticresources.com/ @AlliedGeneticResources Clear Springs Cattle Company https://www.bredforbalance.com/female-sale Axiota Animal Health https://axiota.com/ @MultiminUSA Jorgensen Land & Cattle https://jorgensenfarms.com/ @JorLandCat Ranch Channel https://ranchchannel.com/ @RanchChannel Questions & Concerns From The Field?

American Beef Labeling Act Sparks Debate Over Mandatory Country-of-Origin Labeling (MCOOL) A new federal proposal to reinstate mandatory country-of-origin labeling (MCOOL) for beef has ignited debate among industry leaders, ranchers, and lawmakers. While some ranchers and advocacy groups support the American Beef Labeling Act, the Meat Institute has expressed concerns, citing past trade disputes and economic impacts. What Is the American Beef Labeling Act? The bipartisan bill, introduced in the U.S. Senate, seeks to require beef sold in the United States to display its country of origin. However, MCOOL was previously repealed in 2015 after the World Trade Organization (WTO) ruled that it violated trade agreements by unfairly discriminating against Canadian and Mexican livestock producers. The bill's lead sponsors, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), are joined by co-sponsors John Fetterman (D-Pa.), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), John Hoeven (R-N.D.), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), and Mike Rounds (R-S.D.). If passed, the legislation would direct the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) and USDA to develop a WTO-compliant solution within 12 months. If no agreement is reached, the previous MCOOL rule would automatically be reinstated for beef. Industry Reactions: Meat Institute vs. Ranchers The Meat Institute, representing meat processors and packers, opposes the bill, favoring voluntary country-of-origin labeling (COOL) instead. Sarah Little, Vice President of Communications, stated that past MCOOL policies distorted trade, raised consumer beef prices, and provided no measurable benefits to U.S. cattle producers. On the other hand, rancher advocacy groups such as R-CALF USA, the South Dakota Farmers Union, and the United States Cattlemen's Association (USCA) support the legislation. USCA President Justin Tupper emphasized that truthful labeling is essential for consumer transparency and the future of American ranchers. What's Next for Mandatory Beef Labeling? Supporters argue that MCOOL would empower consumers by clearly identifying American beef, while opponents warn of potential trade retaliation and economic consequences. With bipartisan backing, the bill's progress will be closely watched by cattle producers, meatpackers, and industry stakeholders. Key Takeaways: -The American Beef Labeling Act proposes reinstating mandatory country-of-origin labeling (MCOOL) for beef. -The Meat Institute opposes the measure, citing trade concerns and consumer price impacts. -Rancher advocacy groups support MCOOL, calling for transparency in beef labeling. -If no WTO-compliant solution is reached in 12 months, the MCOOL rule would be reinstated.

Cattle Industry News NCBA Calls Out Supreme Court Decision on Corporate Transparency Act: A Blow to Family Farms and Ranches The National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) voiced strong disappointment following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to lift an injunction that had temporarily halted enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA). The CTA introduces new reporting requirements that some say could impose significant burdens on small businesses, including family-owned farms and ranches. NCBA Executive Director of Government Affairs, Kent Bacus, expressed concern about the potential impact by saying the Corporate Transparency Act will blanket family-owned farms and ranches in excessive red tape, placing millions of small business owners at risk of legal trouble.  He went on to say that he is urging President Trump and the Treasury Secretary to intervene and protect small businesses from these onerous requirements by delaying enforcement until a workable solution is found. While NCBA's advocacy primarily focuses on farmers and ranchers, the Act's implications extend beyond agriculture. NCBA's Director of Policy Communications highlighted how the law could also weigh heavily on small and family-owned meat processors, adding to their regulatory challenges. The U.S. Supreme Court's decision overturned a nationwide injunction, allowing the Department of Treasury to enforce the Act while ongoing federal court cases challenge its legality. What This Means for Small Businesses The CTA would require entities to disclose detailed ownership information to the federal government, which could pose administrative and financial challenges for smaller operations.  Given the complexity of these new requirements, it is recommended that whether in agriculture, meat processing, or other industries—seek advice from legal or tax professionals to ensure compliance and mitigate risks.

EPISODE 67 DETAILS A New Packing Plant & Consumer Food Prices New Packing Plant In Missouri America's Heartland Packing is finishing construction of its new plant in Warren County, Mo., with processing operations now slated to begin in April, the company said Tuesday. A division of Wisconsin-based American Foods Group (AFG) LLC, the $800 million plant will have a daily capacity of eventually more than 2,400 head in a 775,000-square-foot, mixed cattle facility, including a harvest floor, carcass chillers, fabrication area, rendering, further processing area, storage coolers, freezers and loading docks. President Trump Urged To Make Changes & Address Food Costs The Meat Institute urged President Donald Trump to reduce regulatory burdens that it says are driving up food costs for consumers. In a letter addressed to the president, Meat Institute President and CEO Julie Anna Potts highlighted the organization's concerns about several regulations finalized under the previous administration and proposed actions to alleviate their impact. The letter called on the administration to withdraw or revise rules, including USDA's Inclusive Competition and Market Integrity rule. Additionally, the group urged the EPA to withdraw its Clean Water Act Effluent Limitations proposal, which the Meat Institute claims underestimates compliance costs and could force facilities to close. The Meat Institute also expressed support for USDA's inspection modernization for pork and poultry processing, advocating for interim rules to allow modernized facilities to operate above traditional line speeds. The organization emphasized the importance of these changes in addressing inflation and reducing consumer costs.

Cattle & Agriculture Industry News Beef Markets Charge Into 2025 According to Derrell S. Peel, Oklahoma State University Extension Livestock Marketing Specialist and MeatingPlace.Com, cattle and beef markets rocketed out of the gate coming into 2025. With no post-holiday wavering, all cattle and beef markets moved higher in the first half of January — setting new record price levels to start the new year. This continues the trend of the last three years. Cattle prices began to move higher after 2021 and increased more sharply in 2023-2024.  In Oklahoma auctions in the week ending Jan. 17, 2025, the price of 500-pound steers (M/L, #1) was $361.88/cwt., up 18.1% year over year and up 111.1% from the same week four years ago in 2021. For 800-pound steers, the price was $269.07/cwt., up 21.0% year over year and up 105.1% in the last four years  The 5-market fed steer live price was $203.56/cwt. for the week ending January 17, up 17.3% from one year ago and up 85.9% from January 2021. Daily 5-market fed steer prices hit $200/cwt. for the first time ever on January 7 and reached as high as $205.37/cwt. on January 15. Higher fed prices are expected ahead.  The strong cattle and beef price trend coming into 2025 is expected to continue as cattle inventories and beef supplies tighten further in the coming months.  However, while cattle and beef markets are strong internally, external shocks from political uncertainty along with U.S. and global macroeconomic jitters may cause short-term shocks and short-lived market setbacks. Volatility is likely to accompany a bullish market expectation.  The entire article can be found HERE. Nebraska Legislators Move Against Cultivated Meat Nebraska Governor Jim Pillen and State Senator Barry DeKay have introduced a bill aimed at prohibiting the manufacturing, distribution, and sale of lab-grown meat within the state. According to a press release from the governor's office, the proposed legislation seeks to safeguard Nebraska's agricultural heritage and the integrity of natural meat products. Preserving Nebraska's Agricultural Identity Gov. Pillen emphasized the importance of protecting Nebraska's agricultural legacy, stating: “We feed the world and save the planet. To ensure that we can do that for generations to come, we need to take steps that keep extremists from introducing unproven meat products to consumers.” The bill defines “cultivated food protein” and categorizes such products as “adulterated food products” under Nebraska's Pure Food Act. This classification would require clear labeling to distinguish lab-grown products from traditional meat. Concerns Over Lab-Grown Meat State Sen. DeKay raised concerns about the nutritional value and transparency of lab-grown meat, explaining: “There are clear, recognized benefits of meat as a source of protein. It is uncertain whether manufactured meat protein is a substitute for natural meat sources to meet essential dietary needs. I question elevating lab meat to a level of equivalency with real meat.” He also highlighted the potential economic and ethical issues surrounding lab-grown meat production, pointing to its support from organizations advocating for the elimination of animal agriculture in Nebraska and across the United States. Ensuring Transparency and Protecting Livestock A core focus of the proposed legislation is to establish clear labeling rules, ensuring consumers are aware that cultured meat is not traditional meat. Sen. DeKay added: “Until or unless there are clear labeling rules that adequately disclose that cultured meat is not real meat, its sale allows lab meats to unfairly benefit from industry investments in marketing and production. This is part of the process to make sure our way of life, our livestock, and the products we put on the dinner table stay intact for the future.” The Broader Implications Nebraska's agriculture industry is a cornerstone of the state's economy, producing world-renowned beef and other livestock products. With this bill, lawmakers aim to protect the state's agricultural identity, ensure consumer transparency, and maintain the viability of traditional meat production for generations to come. Stay Informed As the debate over lab-grown meat continues, Nebraska remains at the forefront of defending traditional agriculture. Follow updates on this legislation to see how it shapes the future of food production and labeling standards in Nebraska and beyond.

EPISODE 65 DETAILS Tick-Borne Disease Found In Kansas Cattle Theileria Orientalis Ikeda: A New Threat to Kansas Cattle Linked to the Asian Longhorned Tick A newly detected red blood cell parasite, Theileria orientalis Ikeda, has raised alarm in Kansas cattle herds. This parasite, linked to the invasive Asian longhorned tick (ALHT), causes a disease known as theileriosis or bovine infectious anemia, posing a significant threat to livestock health and production. What is Theileria Orientalis Ikeda? When Theileria orientalis Ikeda enters the bloodstream, it destroys red blood cells, causing anemia in infected cattle. This depletion of red blood cells hampers oxygen transport throughout the animal's body, leading to severe health complications. How is Theileriosis Spread? Theileriosis primarily spreads through contaminated needles and insect vectors, with the Asian longhorned tick being a key carrier. Scientifically known as Haemaphysalis longicornis, this invasive tick originated in Eastern Asia. It is believed to have been introduced to the United States around 2010, with its presence first confirmed in 2017 by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. While mainly found in the eastern United States, efforts are ongoing to curb its westward spread. Recent Cases in Kansas Reports indicate that infected cattle in Kansas were purchased from Virginia and transported to the state for feeding. While the Asian long-horned tick has been identified in neighboring states like Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, it has not yet been detected in Kansas. The Kansas State Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory urges cattle producers to exercise caution when importing livestock from other states. Familiarizing oneself with the symptoms of bovine infectious anemia is critical for early detection and containment. Symptoms of Theileriosis in Cattle Cattle infected with Theileria orientalis Ikeda may exhibit symptoms such as: Anemia Loss of appetite Lethargy Fever Reduced milk production Difficulty breathing Yellowing of mucous membranes Foamy nasal discharge Abortion Sudden death Pregnant heifers, calves, and stressed animals are particularly vulnerable. While no vaccine exists for theileriosis, infected animals can recover, though they often remain carriers, capable of spreading the disease to healthy cattle. Protecting Kansas Cattle Producers are encouraged to: Inspect Imported Livestock: Screen cattle for signs of illness before integrating them into local herds. Monitor for Ticks: Watch for signs of the Asian longhorned tick and implement tick control measures. Consult Veterinarians: Work closely with veterinarians to manage and mitigate the spread of infectious diseases. By staying vigilant and proactive, Kansas cattle producers can help protect their herds from this emerging threat.

We dive into the New World Screwworm, what it is, how we manage it and what it could do to the U.S. cattle industry.  Plus we have the latest news, markets and so much more on this all new episode of The Ranch It Up Radio Show. . Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. Season 5, EPISODE 220 New World Screwworm:  What Is It & What Could It Do To The Cattle Industry Beware! New World Screwworm In Cattle  New World Screwworm:  What you Need to Know On November 22, 2024, the Chief Veterinary Officer of Mexico informed the United States Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) of a confirmed case of New World screwworm (NWS, Cochliomyia hominivorax). This alarming detection poses a serious threat to livestock and wildlife in North America. Here's what you need to know about this devastating pest and its implications. What Is New World Screwworm? New World screwworm is a highly destructive pest that affects livestock, other warm-blooded animals, and occasionally humans. NWS larvae infest animals through open wounds or mucous membranes, feeding on living tissue rather than dead tissue or carrion. If left untreated, infestations can be fatal. Key Facts About New World Screwworm: NWS is endemic to Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and parts of South America. It has been moving northward since 2023, spreading from Panama to Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras, Guatemala, and now Mexico. U.S. Measures to Prevent NWS Spread To protect livestock and wildlife in the United States, APHIS is taking immediate action: Import Restrictions: Livestock imports, including equines, from Mexico are temporarily restricted. Horses originating from or residing in Mexico within 60 days prior to export will need to comply with stringent import protocols. Established Protocols: Pre-export treatment and examination. Treatment and examination upon arrival. A 7-day quarantine in an approved permanent import facility. These protocols follow the guidelines outlined in eCFR 9 CFR 93.308 and VSG 13424.1. Why Awareness Matters Illegally imported equines and stray animals crossing the border could introduce NWS into the United States. It is crucial for those handling livestock and pets to be vigilant. Signs of Screwworm Infestation: Draining or enlarging wounds. Signs of discomfort such as head shaking or irritated behavior. Presence of screwworm larvae (maggots) or eggs. Screwworm eggs are creamy-white and often found near the edges of wounds. Infestations commonly occur in: Navels of newborn animals. Nasal or eye openings. Genitalia and branding or dehorning wounds. What to Do If You Suspect Screwworm If you notice signs of infestation: Immediately contact your local accredited veterinarian, state animal health official, or APHIS veterinarian. Regularly inspect your pets and livestock, especially if they have wounds or show signs of discomfort. Conclusion The detection of New World screwworm in Mexico underscores the importance of vigilance in safeguarding livestock and wildlife. By adhering to import restrictions and monitoring animals closely, we can help prevent the spread of this devastating pest. Cattle & Agriculture Industry News Scientists Turn To AI To Reduce Cow Methane Researchers are considering using generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) protocols in order to develop new solutions to reduce methane emissions from cows. A team of scientists at USDA's Agricultural Research Service Livestock Nutrient Management Research Unit and the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering at the Iowa State University are using AI to sift through large computational models to develop new approaches to managing the methane emissions. The current focus involves the discovery of a group of compound molecules that can inhibit methane production in the largest of a cow's four stomach compartments. One effective molecule has been proven to reduce enteric methane production by up to 98%. AI also may fast-forward the laboratory research process and possibly address the potential costs of launching additional research, according to the scientists.

Cattle & Agriculture Industry News First Death Related To H5N1 In US Reported The Louisiana Department of Health has confirmed that a patient hospitalized with the first U.S. case of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), or H5N1, has died. The patient, over 65 years old and with underlying medical conditions, contracted the virus through exposure to a backyard poultry flock and wild birds. No additional H5N1 cases or evidence of person-to-person transmission have been identified, and this remains Louisiana's sole human case of the virus. The general public faces a low risk, but individuals working with birds or engaging in activities involving poultry or livestock are at higher risk.

Feeder Cattle Imports From Mexico & Red Angus Heifers Selling   Feeder Cattle Imports From Mexico Set To Resume In January Imports of feeder cattle from Mexico are expected to partially resume the week of Jan. 20, with full live animal movements anticipated later, according to a Drovers report. The initial reopening will be gradual to implement and test new protocols. The USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) suspended cattle and bison imports from Mexico on Nov. 22, 2024, after detecting New World screwworm near Mexico's southern border. The pest poses a significant risk to cattle health, prompting the development of stringent screening protocols. The suspension has led to an estimated 250,000-300,000 fewer cattle imports and supported higher U.S. feeder cattle and calf prices, again that according to Drovers.

Cattle & Agriculture Industry News Former USDA Counsel Named Deputy Ag Secretary A veteran of the first Trump administration's agriculture team has been named to be deputy secretary of the USDA. President-elect Donald Trump announced his nomination of Stephen Vaden to be deputy under Brooke Rollins, a former think tank executive already tapped to head the USDA. A Yale law graduate, Vaden served as USDA general counsel from 2018-2020, when he was confirmed to a judicial appointment on the U.S. Court of International Trade. He has served as a board member of the Commodity Credit Corp. CDC Confirms Nations First Severe H5N1 Infection Of Human A patient in Louisiana was hospitalized with a severe case of avian influenza (H5N1), marking the first instance in the United States of severe illness linked to the virus, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced today in a news release and press call. CDC said the Louisiana patient, one of 61 human cases to occur in the United States since April, was infected with a D1.1 virus recently detected in wild birds and poultry in the U.S. and in recent human cases in British Columbia, Canada, and in the state of Washington. Officials noted the D1.1 strain of H5N1 is different from the B3.13 genotype detected in dairy cows, sporadic human cases in multiple states, and some poultry outbreaks in the U.S.  No person-to-person spread of H5 bird flu has been detected. California State Of Emergency, New Human Infections, Canadian Struggles all due to H5N1 Gov. Gavin Newsom issued a state of emergency in an effort to streamline the Golden State's response to highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). Several California agencies have developed coordinated responses to address and minimize farm worker exposures, lower raw dairy product contamination and mitigate the spread of the virus, the governor said in a statement: He said “This proclamation is a targeted action to ensure government agencies have the resources and flexibility they need to respond quickly to this outbreak.” About 680 dairy farms are under quarantine from HPAI outbreaks, while 6.2 million birds have been hit and 36 people infected across California. A commercial poultry worker in northwest Iowa is now the first confirmed human case of HPAI in the Hawkeye State, according to the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services (Iowa HHS). An estimated 6.7 million birds have been affected in more than a dozen counties across Iowa, according to USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS). The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) announced that more than 13.9 million birds have been impacted by HPAI in the most recent tally of the spread of H5N1 infections across nine provinces. British Columbia is reporting the highest number of HPAI cases among 8.3 million birds. New Brunswick has the lowest number of birds affected by avian influenza with fewer than 100 birds at two locations being confirmed with the virus. Beef Processor Fined For Odor Violations The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) fined STX Beef Company $200,000 for violations linked to foul odors coming from its Corpus Christi facility, according to a local report. The penalty follows years of complaints about smells traced to cattle processing and wastewater management issues. TCEQ also cited equipment failures, inadequate scrubber systems and poor recordkeeping. Of the fine, $2,000 is already paid, with $40,000 due soon. Over $80,000 will support Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi's AutoCheck program, addressing regional vehicle emissions. The company has 30 days to submit an odor control plan, including equipment repairs and new systems, and must comply with air quality rules for five years. Corporate Transparency Act Reporting Requirement Will Return Due to Court Ruling Producers pay attention now.  The Corporate Transparency Act filing requirements are back in effect following a court decision that reverses the injunction that previously halted this mandate.  NCBA Executive Director of Government Affairs Kent Bacus said that The Corporate Transparency Act requires millions of family farmers and ranchers to file complex paperwork and disclose beneficial ownership information with the federal government under penalty of severe fines and jail time. Earlier last week, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals lifted a nationwide preliminary injunction on the enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act, holding that the government is likely to prevail in a constitutional challenge. This decision places many small businesses in jeopardy that have not yet filed Beneficial Ownership Information with the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a division of the U.S. Department of the Treasury.  In light of the Fifth Circuit's decision, FinCEN announced it will delay enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act until January 13, 2025.  It is highly recommended to visit with your accountant, tax professionals, and or attorneys on exactly what needs to be filled and where.  Sale Barn Updates From Pratt Livestock & Torrington Livestock We have the latest sale barn updates from Pratt Livestock, their latest reports are HERE and Torrington Livestock with their latest reports HERE.  RanchChannel.Com Now Has The Futures Markets & New Listings Futures Markets RanchChannel.com now has futures markets at your fingertips!  Feeder Cattle, Live Cattle, Corn, Wheat, Soybeans, Soybean Oil, Milk Class IV, and Ethanol.  Information is provided by DTN and market information may be delayed by as much as 10 minutes.  Click Here for more information!

EPISODE 62 DETAILS Global Concern Over Avian Influenza In Mammals WOAH Raises Concern Over High Pathogenicity Avian Influenza (HPAI) in Mammals, Including U.S. Dairy Cattle The World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) has issued an urgent warning regarding the increasing spread of high pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) to mammals, including dairy cattle in the United States. As of November 2024, the virus has been detected in over 30 mammalian species, with cases projected to rise in the Northern Hemisphere through February. HPAI's Impact on Mammals and Dairy Cattle Recent studies reveal that raw milk from HPAI-infected cows poses significant risks, as the virus can transmit to other animals, including poultry and cats. This finding underscores the critical need for immediate and stringent measures to prevent the spread of this zoonotic disease. Public Health Risk: Low but Requires Vigilance WOAH emphasizes that, while the public health risk from HPAI remains low, the situation demands proactive efforts from nations worldwide. The organization recommends several key actions to mitigate risks: Enhance Surveillance: Monitor birds and cattle closely for HPAI symptoms. Accurate Diagnoses: Ensure HPAI is considered when livestock exhibit compatible symptoms. Timely Reporting: Promptly notify WOAH of any unusual cases in mammals. Strengthen Biosecurity: Implement strict biosecurity measures, including restrictions on raw milk from infected animals. Preventing Trade Disruptions and Promoting Research WOAH has cautioned against imposing unnecessary trade restrictions in response to HPAI, urging adherence to its established international standards. Collaborative research is ongoing to deepen the understanding of the virus's pathogenesis and transmission routes. Global Collaboration to Combat HPAI WOAH remains committed to supporting global efforts against HPAI through technical updates, partnerships, and international cooperation. These measures aim to mitigate the risks posed by this evolving virus and safeguard both animal and human health. Stay informed about the latest developments in HPAI prevention and containment by following updates from WOAH and related authorities.   SPONSORS Trans Ova Genetics https://transova.com/ @TransOvaGenetics American Gelbvieh Association https://gelbvieh.org/ @AmericanGelbvieh Allied Genetic Resources https://alliedgeneticresources.com/ @AlliedGeneticResources Clear Springs Cattle Company https://www.bredforbalance.com/female-sale Axiota Animal Health https://axiota.com/ @MultiminUSA Jorgensen Land & Cattle https://jorgensenfarms.com/ @JorLandCat Ranch Channel https://ranchchannel.com/ @RanchChannel   Questions & Concerns From The Field?

We share how you can prevent scours this calving season, but you have to act now!  We have the latest news, market recaps, horse for sale, ranch channel listings and lots more on this all new episode of the Ranch It Up Radio Show.  Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. EPISODE 216 DETAILS Prevent Scours This Upcoming Calving Season Plus Cattle Industry News How To Prevent Calf Scours: Feed Farmatan Feed Farmatan To Prevent Scours This Calving Season Calving season is getting ready to start for many producers and for some others it is still a ways away yet.  Regardless, we need to get a jump on scours and make sure each and every calf that hits the ground has the best chance of survival.  A simple solution… FARMATAN from Imogene Ingredients.   WHAT CAUSES SCOURS IN BEEF CATTLE/CALVES Clostridia-Enterotoxemia The most common form of Clostridium in cattle is caused by Clostridia perfringens. The gram-positive bacteria are a challenge due to its ability to form spores and lay dormant for long-periods of time. The bacteria reproduce by releasing spores into its environment (soil, feed, manure). The spores can even lay dormant in the animal's intestine until opportunity presents itself. Infection takes place either through ingestion of spores or through an open wound. The most severe cases happen within the first month of a calf's life, and can result in sudden death. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Bloody, Mucus Present, Bubbly Dehydrated Bloat Blindness Prevention/Treatment: Prevention can be difficult due to the Clostridia spores being extremely durable and present almost everywhere. Complete cleanout and disinfection between calves is helpful, but not always effective. A good vaccination program will reduce clinical disease. The best method is to develop good gut health and the immune system of the calf. Farmatan has been shown to strengthen the intestinal wall, helping to prevent infection from taking hold. Coccidiosis Cattle are host to numerous species of Coccidia, a single-celled protozoal parasite. Infection and clinical symptoms can happen any time during a calf's life, with the most severe reaction usually occurring between 3-6 weeks of age. The life-cycle of coccidia requires time to infect the intestine causing destruction of the mucosal and epithelial lining. The oocytes mature outside the host in warm, moist environments before being consumed, causing infection of a new host. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Watery, Bloody Depression Weight Loss Prevention/Treatment: Prevention of Coccidiosis is possible by keeping young calves separate from older animals, providing clean water and feed, and dry conditions. Isolation of infected animals is key to preventing transmission. Keeping the pen dry is the most important step a farmer/rancher can take in preventing Coccidiosis. Treatment can have a good impact on reducing secondary disease, and speeding up recovery time. Farmatan has been shown to disrupt the reproductive cycle of Coccidia; and may help strengthen the intestinal wall to prevent infection, in both the cow and calf. Coronavirus Bovine Coronavirus is a ubiquitous, envelope-viral disease, causing respiratory and enteric infection. There are many serotypes for this virus, making it difficult to test for, and create a vaccine. Coronavirus can present as either diarrhea and/or respiratory illness; transmitted through nasal discharge and/or feces. Animal reservoirs continue to spread the disease, and make eradication almost impossible. Clinical disease will likely occur between days 10-14, and present for up to 4 days. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Watery Nasal Discharge Coughing Prevention/Treatment: Prevention is difficult due to wild animals transmitting the disease. Keeping wild animals out of animal enclosures is essential. Isolation of infected animals is critical to preventing the spread of Coronavirus. Adequate colostrum intake, along with a good vaccination program will help prevent clinical disease. Learn more about the positive effects of Farmtan's active ingredient on Coronavirus HERE. Cryptosporidium Cryptosporidium Parvum is a single-celled parasite responsible for causing infection in young calves. The infection takes place within the first four weeks of a calves' life, afterwards immunity has developed within the calf. The parasite is either passed from the cow or spread through infected water sources. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Watery, Bloody, Mucus present Colic Depression Prevention/Treatment: Good sanitary conditions, especially clean water is essential in preventing transmission of cryptosporidium. Isolation of sick calves will help reduce the effect on the overall herd. There is some good effect of calves given adequate colostrum, however this is likely helping by reducing other pathogenic loads rather than a direct effect on Cryptosporidium, itself. Farmatan fed prior to calving has been shown to disrupt the life-cycle and reduce transmission from the cow. The direct action of Farmatan on the parasite makes it an excellent choice for treating calves. Learn more about the positive effect of Farmatan's active ingredient HERE.   E Coli Escherichia Coli is a bacterial infection that affects calves within the first week of their life. The bacteria colonize in the lower intestine and produce a toxin. The toxin causes excessive secretion of fluids. The zoonotic disease has special importance in food safety and human health. Colostrum and natural immunity are often not sufficient in preventing infection in cases of high bacterial concentrations. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Creamy, Yellow Abdominal Pains Fever Vomiting Prevention/Treatment: The best prevention methods for E. Coli include: clean water, dry bedding/environment, isolation of infected animals, and vaccination. Treatment with antibiotics and oral fluids have great benefits in reducing clinical symptoms of the disease. Farmatan has been shown to reduce bacterial load and help prevent infection.

Rotavirus is thought to be the most common cause of neonatal diarrhea in calves. The virus tends to affect calves between the age of 1-day-old up to a month, with most cases presenting within the first week of life. Shedding and reinfection can happen in older calves and cows. Clinical symptoms are rarely present after the first month of life; older animals tend to either be carriers or asymptomatic. The majority of herds have some level present, with transmission likely happening during or shortly after birth. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Pale Yellow, Bloody Dehydrated Dull calves Reluctant to drink Prevention/Treatment: The ideal scenario is to prevent infection through, sanitary facilities (calving barn), outdoor calf housing, and a good vaccination program. Colostrum will provide much needed antibodies, protecting the calf before their immune system is fully developed to combat the disease. Farmatan fed prior to calving can help reduce the pathogen load of the cow, reducing the likelihood of transmission. Farmatan supplemented in the milk has been shown to decrease the virus' ability to cause infection and clinical disease. The best treatment for calves already presenting clinical disease is to administer oral fluids/electrolytes to rehydrate the calf. Learn more about the positive effect of Farmatan's active ingredient HERE. Salmonella Salmonella infection of cattle is caused by a variety of species within the family. While the disease is uncommon in cattle with little effect on calf health, it has massive implications for human health and food safety. The bacteria spreads through direct contact or contaminated feed & water. This disease is highly regulated by the USDA. The most severe cases of salmonella affect calves between the ages of 7-10 days old. Clinical Signs Diarrhea - Bloody (flakes of slough tissue), Watery, Mucus present Lethargic Fever Prevention/Treatment: Prevention is always the best option: provide clean water, feed, and bedding. Isolate infected animals, ensure adequate colostrum intake, and develop a vaccination program with your veterinarian. Treatment with antibiotics and fluids (oral or intravenous) greatly increases the survival rate of calves infected with Salmonella. Farmatan has been shown to help reduce the likelihood of infection by protecting the gut, and reduce recovery time of infected animals.  LEARN MORE ABOUT IMOGENE INGREDIENTS  PRODUCTS Paul Mitchell & Paul Martin on RFD TV Rural America Live!  Cattle Industry News USDA Gives Bleak Timeline For Mexico Cattle Restrictions According to MeatingPlace.Com, the USDA has confirmed there will be no holiday gifts for Mexican cattle producers this year. Earlier this month, APHIS restricted all Mexican animal commodity imports following the detection of New World screwworm (NWS) in a cow in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas. Mexico's chief veterinary officer alerted USDA in late November. Dr. Rosemary Sifford, the agency's chief veterinary officers, stated to media that APHIS's restrictions will “likely” remain in place through the holidays, with “full resumption of live animal movements” after incremental changes in early 2025. She went on to say that while the U.S. continues to work very closely with Mexico and has agreed to protocols, it will take some time to implement these due to multiple steps needed to resume trade. Additionally, USDA announced $165 million in emergency funding to protect U.S. livestock from NWS, which are fly larvae that infest living tissue and cause infection. Canada Plans For U.S. Trade War Canada's federal and state governments are planning measures in response to President-elect Donald Trump's threatened tariffs. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau met with provincial leaders to discuss retaliatory actions. Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland said after the meeting that "a number of premiers spoke out strongly in favour of a robust Canadian response to unjustified tariffs." In a social media post last month, Trump accused Canada and Mexico of allowing drugs and illegal immigrants into the United States and vowed to slap a 25% tariff on imports from both neighbors immediately on taking office on Jan. 20. Such an act would contradict the 2020 US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), a modest update of the preceding North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which Trump signed during his previous term in the White House.   Low U.S. Beef Inventory Argues Against Tariffs A former Canadian Cattle Association president Dave Solverson has urged farmers north of the border to utilize their relationships with fellow beef producers to try to counter US President-elect Donald Trump's threatened tariffs. Solverson said with herds in both countries at their smallest in many decades, extending possible 25% tariffs on Canadian imports makes little sense in the beef business. He said sales of Canadian stock to U.S. packers and feedlot operators are an important source to fill in increasing production gaps especially in northern states, according to Solverson, who led the Canadian Cattle Association from 2014-16. Solverson recalled that the community of North American beef producers forged alliances a decade ago to oppose mandatory country-of-origin labelling. Those coalitions with both state and national producer groups “really proved beneficial for both sides,” he said. Canadian farmers were able to convince their U.S. counterparts “about how important it was that they could top up their pens with a good group of Canadian cattle.” Questions About USDA's Electronic EID Requirements Answered There are still lots of questions about USDA's Electronic EID requirements and if you are confused don't worry you are not alone. Merck Animal Health has fielded many questions about the new electronic (EID) rules for livestock moving across state lines. As a leading provider of EID tags and readers through their AllFlex Brand, Merck Animal Health is helping support cattle producers in their decision-making with expertise and solutions.  As part of that effort, Merck Animal Health has provided some clarity to the tagging system.  We have all of those links and easy to follow information HERE.  King Ranch Institute For Ranch Management Accepting Applicants for 2025 Wanting to make a change this upcoming year?  Well, we all do.

EPISODE 60 DETAILS Dollars Allocated To Help Producers With New World Screwworm New World Screwworm & How Dollars Are Protecting Livestock Owners USDA's Animal & Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) announced $165 million in emergency funding to protect livestock and other animals from New World screwworm (NWS) and boost the agency's efforts to control its spread in Mexico and Central America. The move comes after APHIS restricted the import of animal commodities from Mexico due to detection of NWS in a cow in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas. It was a step northward for NWS, which over the last two years has spread throughout Panama and into Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala. APHIS is working with partners in Mexico and Central America to stop the spread of NWS into the United States and asking all producers along the southern border to watch their livestock and pets for signs of NWS and to immediately report potential cases to their local veterinarian, State Veterinarian's Office, or APHIS Veterinary Services. The fly larvae can infest warm blooded animals such as cattle, causing wounds that can lead to infection. A biological barrier can be created by mating sterilized male screwworm flies with females in areas where NWS is detected. This initiative can decrease or even eliminate populations of screwworm flies.

Cattle Industry News NCBA Endorsed Disaster Tax Relief Bill, Passes Senate The National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) thanked the U.S. Senate for passing the Federal Disaster Tax Relief Act. In addition to providing much needed relief to victims of hurricanes, this legislation would provide tax relief for cattle producers who received payments due to wildfires. Previously, these payments counted as taxable income, meaning producers who already suffered from disasters were hurt again by having their relief payments taxed. The Federal Disaster Tax Relief Act addresses limitations in casualty losses and allows producers to take greater deductions for disaster related losses. Additionally, the bill excludes any payments received due to a “qualified wildfire disaster” from being counted as income for federal tax purposes. The bill also retroactively applies to any wildfire payments received in tax years 2020 through 2025. Producers will have the opportunity to file with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) for relief payments received in these previous years.  The complete bill can be reviewed HERE. Cattlemen Relieved By Court Decision To Halt Corporate Transparency Act Many producers hailed the issuance of a nationwide preliminary injunction blocking the Corporate Transparency Act from being enforced on January 1, 2025. This ruling from the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas protects millions of family farmers and ranchers from onerous reporting requirements imposed by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN), a division of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. We've talked about The Corporate Transparency Act in great detail a few episodes back and remember that every producers' situation is different, and this information should not be construed as professional advice. Always consult your attorney and/or tax professional to determine how the Corporate Transparency Act impacts you.  You can go back  and listen to episode 213 for additional information.  Christmas Gift Ideas For That Hard To Shop For Person Great handmade items along with Ranch It Up swag and merch can be found online HERE!

EPISODE 59 DETAILS Bovine Tuberculosis Discovered In South Dakota & USDA Dietary Guidelines Tuberculosis Found In South Dakota Cattle Herd Bovine tuberculosis (TB) has been confirmed in South Dakota for the first time since 2021. According to State Veterinarian Dr. Beth Thompson, the infected steer was initially identified in late October by meat inspectors during routine inspection at a Wisconsin packing plant. Records linked the steer to a Hamlin County feedlot which had marketed the animal.  The State Veterinarian's office is working closely with the feedlot owner as well as other producers who may have sold animals purchased by the feedlot, USDA officials, and area veterinarians to locate the steer's source herd. Necessary precautions are being taken to protect the health of South Dakota's cattle industry. Bovine TB is not currently a threat to food safety in the United States, thanks to milk pasteurization and comprehensive meat inspection programs. Bovine tuberculosis is a chronic, slowly progressive respiratory disease of cattle. Infected animals may transmit infection to other animals when in close proximity for prolonged periods. Cattle rarely exhibit visible signs of illness. The US has nearly eliminated bovine TB due to a cooperative eradication campaign and South Dakota has officially been recognized as free of the disease since 1982. Criticisms To The New Scientific Report On USDA Dietary Guidelines The 2025 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee is providing access to a new Scientific Report that will assist two government agencies to develop the final Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2025-2030, which is expected to be published late next year. Several cattle organizations including The National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) quickly responded to the report's recommendation that nutrition guidelines incorporate reduced consumption of red meat. NCBA President Mark Eisele said in a statement that the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee ignored robust and rigorous scientific evidence about beef's essential nutrients and the foundational, positive role it plays in health as a preferred protein food in a variety of healthy diets for all Americans. The committee is offering the Scientific Report online and offers its “independent, evidence-based findings and advice” for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the USDA. The report, along with public comments and federal agency input, will inform the departments as they prepare the final document for publication. The Committee says it is focused on health equity to ensure that factors like socioeconomic position, race, ethnicity and culture are considered to the greatest extent possible when it comes to establishing the most effective report for all Americans. HHS and USDA plan to launch a 60-day public comment period and are encouraging the public to provide written comments on the committee's Scientific Report, the agencies said in the announcement referencing the online document, which is available HERE.

EPISODE 214 DETAILS Cattle Industry Top News Headlines, Christmas Gift Ideas, Market Outlooks Top Cattle Industry Headlines U.S. Tightens Import Restrictions After Screwworm Detection The USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has restricted animal imports from Mexico after detecting New World screwworm (NWS) in a cow in Chiapas, Mexico. NWS larvae infest living tissue in warm-blooded animals, causing severe infections. Producers along the U.S.-Mexico border should monitor livestock and pets for signs such as draining wounds or discomfort and report any suspected cases to a veterinarian immediately. To combat the pest's spread, APHIS is deploying sterile flies and intensifying efforts in Central America. "With this detection, we will intensify measures to protect American agriculture," said Dr. Rosemary Sifford, U.S. Chief Veterinary Officer. NWS has recently spread northward due to increased cattle movement, disrupting biological barriers in the region. The USDA continues collaborating with Central American partners to contain and eradicate this threat. Mexico Threatens Trade war If Trump Implements Tariffs Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has criticized President-elect Donald Trump's proposed 25% tariff on Mexican imports, warning it could spark inflation, harm cross-border businesses, and lead to a trade war. Trump announced the tariffs as part of his immigration and drug enforcement policies, citing record illegal crossings. Sheinbaum, in office for just seven weeks, highlighted the risks in a letter to Trump, emphasizing the potential impact on industries like automotive and U.S. meat exports. According to the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF), duty-free trade with Mexico has been crucial for export growth, with U.S. beef exports up 13% and pork exports up 7% year-over-year through September. Sheinbaum urged a meeting with Trump and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to address trade and migration concerns. Meanwhile, Trump defended the tariffs, linking them to stricter immigration and drug policies. New Tariffs May Provide Financial Boost for U.S. Food Producers The Trump administration's plan to impose a 25% tariff on imports from North American neighbors and China could yield unexpected benefits for U.S. food producers, according to J.P. Morgan analyst Ken Goldman. While tariffs are expected to raise inflation and food prices, retaliatory measures could reduce global demand for U.S. crops like corn, soybeans, and wheat. This decline may lower domestic crop prices, offering cost savings to U.S. producers and potentially boosting profit margins. Goldman noted that U.S. manufacturers, less reliant on imported crops, could see these savings offset the negative impacts of tariffs on other goods. Tyson To Close Beef/Pork Facility In Kansas Tyson Foods announced the closure of its beef and pork non-harvest processing facility in Emporia, Kansas, impacting 809 employees. The plant is set to shut down by February 14, as part of Tyson's strategy to consolidate operations and boost efficiency. Operations will shift to Tyson's Holcomb plant near Garden City, according to company officials. Tyson stated it is working with state and local agencies to support affected employees. Despite the closure, Tyson continues to employ over 5,000 team members at its other Kansas facilities. 2025 Hot Culinary Trends Revealed The National Restaurant Association's 2025 Culinary Forecast highlights East Asian flavors as a major trend. Korean, Vietnamese, and Filipino cuisines ranked highest in the survey of nearly 300 U.S. food industry professionals. These cuisines also dominated the ingredients, flavors, and condiments categories.  “With diners seeking sustainable choices and bold global flavors, restaurants are offering locally sourced ingredients and creative menu options,” said Chad Moutray, Vice President of the Association. Other key trends include: Sustainability and local sourcing Mushrooms Hot honey Fermented and pickled foods Value-focused menu deals The report reflects evolving consumer priorities, including convenience, creativity, and efficiency, as operators adapt to economic and labor challenges.

Top Headlines: Trump For Agriculture, Register Your Business Deadline & Cattle Industry News Why Trump Supports Agriculture Agriculture: President Trump Views Importance What could the new Trump Administration do for agriculture?  Justin Tupper, President of the U.S. Cattlemen's Association and owner/manager of St. Onge Livestock in St. Onge, South Dakota shares his thoughts. Why Your Business Must File With Government Deadline: Farmers & Ranchers Must File BOI Report Avoid Fines & Jail Time Attention farmers, ranchers, agricultural and/or small businesses: A critical deadline is approaching. By January 1, 2025, thousands of farms must file Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) with the U.S. Department of Treasury's Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) or face severe consequences, including hefty fines and possible jail time. Who Needs to File? Under the Corporate Transparency Act of 2021, businesses must register any “beneficial owner” to help combat money laundering. This law applies to farms structured as: C-corporations S-corporations Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) Specifically, farms with fewer than 20 employees or generating less than $5 million in cash receipts must comply. This requirement impacts the majority of farms, with one report estimating over 230,000 farms are affected. However, government data reveals less than 11% of eligible businesses have filed so far. The Consequences of Non-Compliance Failing to file BOI or neglecting to update records can lead to: Criminal fines up to $10,000 Civil penalties of up to $591 per day Potential felony charges with prison sentences of up to two years The financial and legal risks make it essential for farmers to act promptly. What Should Farmers Do? Farmers uncertain about their filing obligations should immediately consult with a qualified accountant or attorney. These professionals can assess your business structure and ensure compliance with BOI requirements. Don't Wait Until It's Too Late The clock is ticking. Protect your farm, avoid penalties, and stay compliant. Take action now to file your BOI by the January 1, 2025, deadline.   Click HERE for Additional Information Top Cattle Industry News Brooke Rollins Tapped To Lead USDA Under President-Elect Trump President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Brooke Rollins, former White House domestic policy adviser and current CEO of the America First Policy Institute, to lead the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Rollins, a Texas native with strong ties to agriculture and conservative advocacy, previously led the Texas Public Policy Foundation, championing causes like school choice and fossil fuels. If confirmed, she will become the second woman to head the USDA, following Ann Veneman under President George W. Bush. With a $200 billion budget and nearly 100,000 employees, the USDA oversees programs like SNAP, WIC, and school meals. Rollins may also tackle the reauthorization of the massive farm bill, which funds farmer safety nets, rural development, and nutrition programs. Her leadership could drive Trump's agenda to streamline federal bureaucracy, enforce tariffs, and shape U.S. agricultural policy amid challenges like trade disputes and global competition. October Proves A Monster Month For Retail Meat Sales The average price per pound in the meat department across all cuts and kinds, both fixed and random weight, stood at $4.67 in October 2024, up 1.9% year-on-year. Processed meat prices rose the least in October, at a mere +0.1%. October brought a mix of price movements. Beef and hot dogs increased further, but it was fresh exotic (which includes bison) that had the highest price increase in October, at +6.8% over last year's October. Several proteins experienced price decreases, including lamb, bacon and processed chicken. Meat department sales were on a roll in October, with fresh meat sales driving 8.0% gains to lead the department to an overall 5.4% increase over October 2023. The five October weeks generated $10.0 billion, with $7.1 billion for fresh meat. While inflation played a role, pound sales increased by 3.4%, also driven by strong gains in fresh meat.   USDA WASDE Report Highlights 2024 Beef Market Trends The USDA's latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report offers insights into the evolving beef market, signaling continued growth and strong demand. Beef Production Outlook: Higher dressed weights, increased cow slaughter, and unexpected cattle placements in late 2024 have raised beef production projections. These factors, according to the report, "more than offset lower expected steer and heifer slaughter." Cattle Prices Rising: WASDE projects 2024 average cattle prices to reach $186.68/cwt, reflecting strong demand and recent market trends. Prices are expected to remain above $186/cwt through the third quarter of 2025, a notable increase from 2023's average of $175.54. Beef Imports Surge: With strong domestic demand and ongoing cattle herd liquidation, U.S. beef imports are projected to stay robust. After reaching 3.725 billion pounds in 2023, imports are estimated to climb to 4.508 billion pounds in 2024. Shipments from Oceania and South America have exceeded expectations. These trends emphasize the strength of the beef industry despite challenges like herd contraction, showcasing opportunities for producers and exporters alike.

We dive in the rules and regulations of USDA's Electronic ID Tag Rule.  We hear how to get some of the top Simmental and SimAngus Genetics.  Plus market recaps, horses for sale and lots more on this all new episode of the Ranch It Up Radio Show. Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. EPISODE 212 DETAILS USDA ELECTRONIC ID TAGS EXPLAINED & TOP SIMMENTAL GENETICS USDA Electronic ID Tag Rules Explained USDA EID Tag Rule Sparks Questions Producers are still confused about how to use the new USDA EID Tags, where to get them, and wondering if there are enough in circulation. Justin Tupper, President of the U.S. Cattlemen's Association and owner/manager of St. Onge Livestock in St. Onge, South Dakota helps explain the rules and shares his experience and thoughts on the program. As the leading provider of EID tags and readers through the Allflex® brand, Merck Animal Health wants to support cattle producers in their decision-making with the expertise and solutions they need. Key Distinctions With Official ID Rules The new policy only applies to interstate movement. Other exemptions include direct-to-slaughter cattle and sexually intact cattle (and bison) under 18 months of age. Animals that will need electronically and visually readable tags when they enter interstate movement include: Sexually intact cattle and bison 18 months or older All dairy cattle, including beef-on-dairy crossbred animals Cattle and bison of any age used for rodeo, recreation events, shows or exhibitions Another important detail: Visual ear tags applied before Nov. 5, 2024, will be recognized as official IDs for the life of the animal. They'll be grandfathered in and will not need an EID. Easing The Financial Burden Producers and the livestock industry have raised concerns about the potential cost burden of the new tagging policies. Congress recently directed USDA-APHIS to allocate no less than $15 million for the cost of tags and related infrastructure to help offset those costs.2 Producers may be able to access EID tags for free via their state veterinarian. They can apply those tags at approved tagging sites. Producers can also buy EIDs directly from a distributor, online vendor or local dealer and apply the tags themselves. In addition, producers are not required to invest in tag-reading hardware or software, unless they choose to do so for herd management and record keeping. The EID tags can be used the same way as visual tags. Addressing Data Privacy Concerns EID tags are encoded with a number that identifies the animal, but no owner-specific information. The data associated with the tags will be stored in various federal and state databases. Access to that data will also be restricted to the state and federal officials responsible for managing high-impact diseases of the cattle industry. USDA agnostic on EID tags USDA isn't mandating or recommending any one brand of ear tag. Tags must be approved by the department and will be imprinted with the Official Eartag Shield. The Allflex radio frequency ID (RFID) tags offered by Merck Animal Health meet these standards. They use a short-read range that doesn't interfere with radio frequencies commonly found in livestock operations. Allflex tags do not include any global positioning system (GPS) capabilities. Producers also use these RFID tags to track health protocols, performance, reproduction and genetics. The new tagging requirements are intended to bolster the industry's tracing capabilities in the event of a disease outbreak. Contact your Merck Animal Health representative or tag supplier to find out how Allflex tags can help you comply with these rules while managing your beef or dairy operation more efficiently.

We head to the preg checking pen and decide on which cows need to go and which cows need to stay and why. Plus potential tariffs on beef imports? We have the latest on this all new episode of  the Ranch It Up Radio Show.  Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. EPISODE 211 DETAILS Sell Or Keep? How To Make The Best Decision With Open Cows & Cattle Industry News Managing Open & Cull Cows How To Make the Most with Your Cull Cows Producers are busy pregnancy testing their cowherds.  And there will always inevitably be a few open cows.  But should we sell these open cows or keep them?  Dr. Bob Weaber with Kansas State University joins us discussing various different ways to manage our cull cows for potentially capitalize on the highest profits   Latest Beef Industry News Australia & New Zealand Meat Industries Brace for Possible Trump Tariffs Introduction: As Donald Trump's potential return to the White House stirs conversations around economic policies, the agricultural sector, particularly animal agriculture, is bracing for potential impacts. Among the most discussed issues are Trump's proposed tariffs, which range from 10% to 20% on all U.S. imports and up to 60% on Chinese imports. These tariffs could have significant consequences for U.S. consumers and meat exporters like Australia and New Zealand, who have capitalized on increased demand following U.S. herd liquidations. Trump's Proposed Tariffs on U.S. Imports Trump's proposed tariffs could raise prices on imported meat, directly impacting U.S. consumers. Australia and New Zealand, which have become key suppliers of beef to the U.S., would be particularly affected by these policies. Any increase in tariffs could result in reduced competitiveness for these exporters, potentially reducing meat supply in the U.S. market and driving prices higher for consumers.   Industry Reactions and Concerns Nathan Guy, independent chair of the Meat Industry Association of New Zealand, expressed concern in a recent interview. He stated that the industry would need to "breathe through it" over the coming months and adapt as the situation unfolds. Guy warned that new tariffs on New Zealand beef could ultimately "hurt the U.S. consumer even harder because they're going to have to pay more for the [beef] we produce." Similarly, Stefan Vogel, general manager of RaboResearch Australia and New Zealand, highlighted in an interview with Weekly Times Now the potential strain these tariffs could place on meat industry players globally. The ripple effects could extend beyond beef to include lamb and other meats, affecting prices and availability for consumers across various markets. Economic Impact on Animal Agriculture The proposed tariffs would likely lead to shifts in supply and demand within the animal agriculture industry, impacting everything from feed prices to livestock management strategies. U.S. producers may see opportunities for increased market share, but these gains could be offset by rising costs and logistical challenges. Conclusion Trump's proposed tariffs bring uncertainties for the global meat trade, potentially raising prices for U.S. consumers and creating challenges for exporters. As animal agriculture stakeholders prepare for possible policy changes, close attention to tariff developments and adaptive strategies will be key to navigating this evolving landscape.
