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 However, MCOOL was previously repealed in 2015 after the World Trade Organization (WTO) ruled that it violated trade agreements by unfairly discriminating against Canadian and Mexican livestock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.

National Farmers Union announced its support of the American Beef Labeling Act, which was introduced by Senators John Thune (R-SD) and Cory Booker (D-NJ). The legislation will codify mandatory country-of-origin labeling, or MCOOL, for beef sold in the U.S., distinguishing American-produced products in grocery stores.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The American Beef Labeling Act would require the U.S. Trade Representative, in consultation with the USDA, to develop a World Trade Organization-compliant means of reinstating MCOOL for beef within one year of enactment.
On today's episode, we sat down with R-CALF USA director and Missouri rancher, Freddie Keaton, to talk RFID tags, the beef checkoff, MCOOL, Rural America, and being an advocate on the local and national level. This episode is sponsored by www.vitalix.com and www.valentinelivestock.net

EPISODE 203 DETAILS Keep or Sell Heifer Calves, Beef Imports & MCOOL Feeder Heifers: Sell Now or Hold Sell or Background Heifer Calves, The Pros & Cons Feeder cattle prices have been outstanding all summer long. And many producers are faced with the dilemma of selling heifers and turning the cash or keeping heifers to go back into the cow herd. Mike Bolinger with Superior Livestock joins us discussing the pros and cons of both options, where we are at in the cowherd inventory and how beef imports could affect prices of beef. Latest Beef Checkoff & Industry News Beef Producers Ask For Fed Support Of MCOOL According to MeatingPlace.com, nearly three dozen groups associated with beef production, ranching and the environment signed on to a letter sent to the U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai, asking for her support to restore mandatory country of origin labeling (MCOOL) for beef. Producer organizations, including Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund United Stockgrowers of America (R-CALF USA) regularly endeavor to keep MCOOL issues part of the national legislative conversation. This, although the World Trade Organization ruled in 2014 that such meat labeling law violates U.S. international trade obligations by discriminating against Canadian cattle and pigs and Mexican cattle. Referencing a letter that Tai had published in the British newspaper Financial Times, in which she said she was committed to “meet working people where they are, redesigning the incentive structure so that communities are not pitted against each other,” the letter said, “This is precisely the help that ranchers and consumers need and consistent with your comments. We respectfully request that you issue a statement to lawmakers regarding your office's position as to whether the United States has the authority to reinstate mandatory country of origin labeling for beef in the face of the substantive trade reforms you are seeking, including at the World Trade Organization.” The letter and a list of the signing organizations are available HERE. Drought Continues for Oklahoma Drought conditions have increased rapidly in Oklahoma in recent weeks. The latest Drought Monitor shows that 78.58 percent of Oklahoma is abnormally dry or in some stage of drought. Because of the dry conditions, very little wheat has been planted at this time or it has been “dusted in” to await hoped-for rain. Prospects for winter wheat grazing are decreasing with each passing week. Wheat planted after mid-September will have less time to grow sufficient forage for winter grazing — assuming moisture is forthcoming. The start of winter grazing will be pushed back, and stocking rates will likely be reduced due to less available forage through the winter. Oklahoma range and pasture conditions have deteriorated rapidly in the last month, with the percentage of pastures rated poor to very poor increasing from 19% to 34% in the last four weeks. Going into the winter in drought is ominous and raises concerns about 2025 forage prospects. Fortunately, hay supplies are much improved this year, which will help with winter feed needs. The combination of this year's hay production and very large carryover stocks (May 1) from last year, leaves Oklahoma with record large total hay supplies this year — over 20% larger than the 10-year average. The lack of wheat stocker demand and the beginning of the fall run of calves is putting pressure on cattle auction prices. Many unweaned calves are beginning to show up at auctions. Unweaned calves take a bigger discount, especially in the fall as variable weather increases animal health challenges and risks. There is time to add value to calves to be marketed this fall. Weaning (minimum 45 days), vaccinations, castration and dehorning will add value to calves marketed 45-90 days from now. Even better is documenting these practices in a certified preconditioning program that provides additional assurance to buyers. Many years of data confirms that preconditioned calves will bring premiums over unweaned calves. The 45-day cut-off for most fall Oklahoma Quality Beef Network (OQBN) sales is rapidly approaching in late September. Producers can find the sale schedule, program and sign-up information at Oklahoma Quality Beef Network, Oklahoma State University.

EPISODE 33 DETAILS MANDATORY COUNTRY OF ORIGIN LABELING ADDED TO THE FARM BILL & SUPERIOR LIVESTOCK AUCTION UPDATES? Senator Mike Rounds (R-SD) has extended the deadline for including more Senators in his letter urging Congress to include MCOOL in the 2024 Farm Bill. Rounds says following the successful implementation of MCOOL, producers and consumers enjoyed a short-lived period of marketplace transparency. This change applied the same country of origin labeling standards to beef as the majority of other consumer goods sold in America. Unfortunately, a coalition of large meatpacking companies and foreign beef interests worked to repeal MCOOL. After Canada and Mexico filed a dispute with the World Trade Organization (WTO), Congress officially rescinded the law in 2015. Since the repeal of MCOOL, American cattle producers have experienced significant market fluctuations. Concurrently, the largest meat packers have realized immense profits through the use of forward contracting and formula-based sales. While cattle prices are currently on the rise, it is evident producers will again encounter market disruptions. As farmers and ranchers deal with a volatile market, it is imperative the federal government work to provide a level playing field. This can be achieved through supporting additional transparency in our beef labeling system. Our American farmers and ranchers work hard to provide the safest and best tasting beef in the world. Producers of foreign beef should not receive an unfair advantage when engaging in our domestic markets, especially as our competitors do not always meet American animal health and consumer safety standards. The U.S. Department of Agriculture's recent “Product of the USA” final rulemaking is a step in the right direction, but there is more work to be done.

Momentum is building to reinstate Mandatory Country-of-Origin Labeling (MCOOL) for beef! The American Beef Labeling Act (S.2716) is a bipartisan bill that will bring back MCOOL. Reinstating MCOOL will help North Dakotans by promoting a safe and affordable supply of wholesome beef for America's consumers; and help foster a fairer, more competitive market for North Dakota's ranchers and consumers.
