Cattle Industry News Nebraska Fire Relief After more than 800,000 acres have burned in Nebraska wildfires, livestock producers are now searching for places to graze their animals. The Nebraska Cattlemen's Association says there are two main options — both showing how neighbors are stepping up to help. One option is feeding cattle hay. Donations are arriving by the truckload, but hay can still be expensive. The second option is a free online tool called the Nebraska Grazing Exchange. It connects ranchers who need land with farmers who have pasture available. People who want to help can sign up, list what they can offer, and connect directly with ranchers in need. Once a match is made, the next step is moving the animals to that land. Laura Field, Executive Vice President of Nebraska Cattlemen, says support has been overwhelming. She says tough times like this bring out the best in the agriculture community. Field says some ranchers have lost up to 70 or 80 percent of their summer grazing land, and may need to move cattle to entirely different regions — even out of state. But she says help is coming from all directions — across the country. Field also says she doesn't expect long-term economic damage. She says Nebraska's beef industry is strong and resilient, and will weather this challenge. While moving cattle — also known as rotational grazing — isn't new, the situation right now is complicated. Field says burned areas are filled with damaged equipment like fencing, water systems, and other infrastructure. She says groups are working with state and federal partners to match needs with resources and get supplies where they're needed most. As for concerns about ranchers leaving the state, Field says the grass will grow back — and the cattle will return. The Nebraska Department of Agriculture adds that grazing can actually help prevent future wildfires by reducing dry plant material. Nebraska Grazing Exchange References: https://www.klkntv.com/online-tool-connects-farmers-with-available-land-to-cattle-ranchers-in-need-of-grazing-area-after-wildfires/ Global Meat Trade & Demand A series of market-moving events, including a strike at a JBS beef plant, geopolitical tensions involving Iran, shifting oil prices and tariff uncertainty, have yet to derail strong beef demand, as wholesale prices continued to climb, according to analysis by Drovers and Sterling Marketing Profit Tracker. Market fundamentals have shifted in recent weeks. Lower fed cattle prices combined with higher boxed beef values improved packer margins while pressuring feedlots. For the week ending March 14, packer margins were estimated at a loss of $54.17 per head, narrowing from deeper losses in prior weeks. The beef cutout rose to $390.66 per cwt. Feedlot margins turned negative, estimated at a loss of $48.79 per head. Elevated breakevens continue to pressure feedlots despite strong demand. Hamburger prices on restaurant menus are 14% higher in the last three years, but beef production costs jumped 32% since January 2023, according to a new report from food industry intelligence firm, Datassential. Burger inflation is roughly in line with broader restaurant prices, despite the effects of chronically tight beef supplies. Food away from home — which approximates all food service including dine-in, takeout and delivery — rose 4% in 2025 and is 13% higher since January 2023, according to the federal government's Consumer Price Index. The Datassential report pointed out that restaurant pricing strategy can keep prices on popular items in check to avoid hurting turnover, while causing cost burdens to be spread throughout the operation. Burgers in particular are a source of traffic, especially in the quick-service segment.

In recent months, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer has floated legislation aimed at restructuring the industry, while President Donald Trump has ordered the Department of Justice to investigate major beef packers for potential antitrust violations. The unusual bipartisan convergence reflects mounting political pressure to address food affordability, even as economists and industry leaders say the fundamental driver of high beef prices lies elsewhere. The renewed focus on meatpacker consolidation follows years of debate over the market dominance of the so-called “Big Four” beef packers (JBS, Tyson Foods, Cargill and National Beef), which together handle roughly 80% of U.S. cattle slaughter. Trump last fall directed the DOJ to investigate whether large packers engaged in “Illicit Collusion, Price Fixing, and Price Manipulation,” while several Republican lawmakers voiced support for stronger antitrust enforcement. At the same time, Schumer and other Democrats are preparing legislation that would attempt to curb consolidation across the food system, including potentially forcing meat companies to focus on a single protein.

The case was brought by Upside Foods, a California company that produces lab-grown chicken, after the law took effect in July of 2024. A three-judge panel on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the ban does not conflict with federal laws regulating traditional poultry. The court said the state law doesn't control how the product is made — only whether it can be sold — meaning federal law does not override it. The decision also upholds an earlier ruling from a federal district court that dismissed the case. Florida Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson, who supported the law, called the ruling a win for farmers and consumers. Governor Ron DeSantis, who signed the bill, has also defended the measure, saying it protects Florida agriculture from what he calls “lab-grown alternatives.” Florida was the first state to pass a ban on cultivated meat. Since then, several others — including Alabama, Indiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, and Texas — have followed. The bans come as the lab-grown meat industry is still in its early stages. The Food and Drug Administration first approved cultivated meat for sale in 2022. Supporters of the industry argue these state laws could slow innovation, cost jobs, and limit competition. It's not yet clear if Upside Foods plans to appeal the ruling.

The Morrill Fire in western Nebraska started on March 12, 2026,-- less than 20 miles away from the Strategy Bison ranch, which is located near Ellsworth, Nebraska, in the panhandle part of the state. The ranch is owned by Dave and Liz Schroth and their six kids. In this episode, Dave talks about what it was like having the fire so close to their operation, the response from fire crews that came from all over to help contain the massive blaze, what his friends and neighbors who had property and livestock losses from the fire are doing to try to inventory what they have left and what comes next for an area where the people, the animals and the land will all be healing for decades. The Nebraska Cattlemen organization has established a Disaster Relief Fund. Those who would like to donate, may: go to www.nebraskacattlemen.org/disaster-relief-fund call the Nebraska Cattlemen office at 402-475-2333 email disasterrelief@necattlemen.org The Nebraska Cattlemen will distribute 100% of the dollars donated to producers who experienced property loss or damage in areas where a fire was reported through the Nebraska Emergency Management Association (NEMA) Watch Center.

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?

We dive into the very controversial topic of mandatory versus voluntary electronic identification. What is happening, why and the updates. Join Jeff 'Tigger' Erhardt, the Boss Lady Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC', and our crew as we bring you the latest in markets, news, and Western entertainment 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 171 DETAILS Mandatory EID or Voluntary EID, Electronic Identification, that is the question, and that has everyone in the cattle sector buzzing. Recently the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, NCBA proposed various recommendations around mandatory electronic identification. After meetings last week in Orlando, Florida, it was voted to lessen the recommendations. It is important to note that nothing is in law yet. It is business as normal for cattle producers, but questions are still being raised, and rightfully so. Many producers across the country voiced their opinions, for and against. And equally important is the fact that producers voiced their opinions. Why are some in favor of mandatory EID, and why are some against it? Let's start tackling this issue by visiting with the president of the United States Cattlemen's Association and the general manager of St. Onge Livestock in St. Onge, South Dakota. TRACEABILITY & ELECTRONIC ID'S According to the Tri-State Livestock News and the Rural Radio Network, the NCBA Cattle Health and Wellbeing Committee supported an amendment to a current policy at its recent convention. The wording that was added included NCBA supporting the adoption and implementation of electronic identification for interstate movement of all sexually intact cattle 18 months and older, which appears to jive with USDA's proposed rule. According to the Bryce Doeschot story by Rural Radio Network, NCBA's committee approved the following language: “NCBA supports adoption and implementation by the beef cattle industry of electronic identification (EID) devices for interstate movement of all cattle. (Sexually intact cattle > 18 months, rodeo and exhibition cattle, dairy cattle) Be it further resolved, NCBA will provide outreach and education to members following anticipated publication of USDA's final rule requiring EID devices for interstate movement of all subject to the 2023 USDA Animal Disease Traceability rule (sexually intact cattle > 18 months, rodeo and exhibition cattle, dairy cattle). Be it further resolved, NCBA will support a private, industry managed, non-government Independent Database Collaborator (IDC) to serve as a hub for critical data, coordination, including data collection and housing for four data points (ID number, time, date and location); seamless coordination with USDA's Animal Health Event Repository (AHER) and major animal identification program organizations; and a defined process for animal health officials to interact with the IDC in the event of a disease event of national significance.” In a radio interview, Jaclyn Wilson with Nebraska Cattlemen and NCBA said NCBA continues to support a voluntary ID system. Justin Tupper, President of the US Cattlemen's Association and the manager of St. Onge Livestock, St. Onge, South Dakota said commerce will be hugely affected by a mandatory electronic tagging system, if USDA implements one. This is a concern of many cattle producers and auction market owners. Requiring electronic identification on all cattle would be “messy” said Tupper and he also pointed out that producers in his part of the country don't want their data/ cattle numbers, etc., being made available to the public. “These big sales in the fall, we can barely find enough help to begin with,” he said. He added that cattle shrink and lose weight by putting them through a chute and checking tags or applying tags. “It would be unfeasible during the fall run, especially here,” he said. USCA supports producers' right to use any kind of identification they choose to on a voluntary level, he said. R-CALF USA animal identification committee chairman Kenny Fox said that mandatory animal identification would open the door to more government mandates in the name of climate change. “They find out how many cattle we have, then they start talking about greenhouse gasses. In Ireland they are cutting the number of cattle allowed in the country,” he said. “Mandatory ID really infringes on our ability to raise cattle the way we want to,” he said. R-CALF USA supports the current rule, implemented in 2013, which allows producers the ability to choose the form of identification they like best, including the metal clip “bangs” tag. The Independent Beef Association of North Dakota said, in a news release that it supports voluntary EID that may be used by producers to better their return on their livestock, but does not support mandatory EID that passes on any extra cost or burden to the producer or infringe on their personal and private rights. “I-BAND supports producers' rights to use EID for their own practices. As a producer, you need to reach out to NCBA state affiliates and tell them to oppose this policy,” said the news release. “Traceability needs to be directed toward imports,” said I-BAND. COW COUNTRY NEWS Chicken Now Matches Beef In Sales For McDonalds According to Meating Place Dot Com, Chicken products sold at McDonald's now generate as much money for the chain as its beef burgers, representing annual sales of $25 billion in chicken sandwiches and nuggets at company-owned and franchised restaurants. McDonald's plans to extend its share of the chicken business by 2026 through an expansion of its McCrispy platform into wraps and tenders. McDonald's reported improved sales both domestically and globally in the fourth quarter as the fast food giant prepares to address affordability issues and product strategies. According to reports, customers who earn less than $45,000 annually are turning toward more home-cooked meals instead of McDonald's, where a combo meal can cost nearly $18 dollars in some markets. For example, the once-valued Dollar Menu also did not feature a single item for $1 in the Akron, Ohio, market last fall.

Tanner Beymer, Director of Government Affairs & Market Regulatory Policy for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. On this episode Ashley Kohls, Vice President of Government Affairs for Nebraska Cattlemen catches Tanner in-person in Denver, Colorado during a session of meetings on cattle and beef market policy. “The optimum solution to the woes that we are experiencing in terms of low cattle prices and in terms of market competition, a lot of that can be solved by adding more hooks into the system. It is a lot more tenable for that to be a small to midsized level producer.” Livestock Mandatory Reporting (LMR) is a program that must be reauthorized every 5 years. Last year, NCBA helped secure a one-year extension. We are coming up on expiration of that one-year extension. “Everyone needs to know that LMR is a high priority to the U.S. cattle industry, and we need to make sure that LMR makes it into the final version of whatever legislative package it gets attached to.” NCBA's convention will be held August 10 -12th in Nashville, TN. For more information and to register you can go to www.ncba.org. “Make sure you are staying involved because that is how we set policy in this organization. You, personally, may not like the direction that NC or NCBA is going on a particular issue, so it is imperative then that you show up to the meetings and voice that on the record.” #TuneInTuesday #HerdItHere
