This effort follows the President’s recent proclamation increasing the “other countries” quota for lean beef trimmings by 300,000 metric tons for 90 days beginning September 1, 2026, with those imports expected to be sold at 25 percent below market price. “American ranchers work diligently to do more with less, weather volatile markets, and provide a safe food supply,” the lawmakers wrote. “Cattle markets are cyclical, and ranchers use the upswings to prepare for the inevitable downturn. Any intervention in the natural system, especially at a time when producers are making marketing decisions, threatens to pick winners and losers and undermine the long-term viability of family-owned cattle operations throughout the supply chain. “As you consider policy changes which could impact American livestock producers, we urge you to prioritize proposals which deliver long-term market stability and confidence while consulting closely with impacted stakeholders,”concluded the lawmakers. “We are eager to work together to deliver certainty for American cattle producers while continuing to deliver safe, affordable, and high-quality American beef.” | 1 | 2026-09-05T08:49:07Z | 2026-09-05T08:50:44Z |
