@caseymurph1 Sounds like a pain in the ass

Bruce Babbitt's family held grazing permits on 750,000 acres of federal land.

In 1993, Clinton appointed him Secretary of the Interior — the agency that regulates those same permits.

The conflict of interest was staggering. He recused himself. His deputies made the decisions.

His own family called him a traitor.

[Casey Murph @caseymurph1]

@beefinitiative I worked around Babbitts. John Babbitt would send Bruce up to the ranch to LARP cowboy. The cowboss, Bill Howell, despised Bruce. Finally John Babbitt stopped sending Bruce to the ranch.
Bruce Babbitt was like the Jamie character on Yellowstone.

His own family called him a traitor— Washington called him Secretary of the Interior.

That’s the beef industry in one sentence.

Nobody wants to be the one who bought Dad another mug.

Here's a better idea — everybody chips in, one real gift. A pork share from https://t.co/K9A3PMAwf6. Raised here in Spirit Lake, clean, no shortcuts. Pick the size that fits the family — quarter, half, or whole. Butcher fees included.

Split it between the kids, split it with Mom. However it shakes out, it lands as one gift — chops, roasts, sausage, bacon. Something he'll pull from the freezer for months, every meal a reminder that his people made a thoughtful choice.

Call or text me directly to lock it in. 208-714-0478.

CME widens limits when it suits the speculators. Where's the protection for the producer?

North Dakota Stockmen's Association is calling for a CME investigation after live cattle futures crashed $30/cwt.

Here's why.

The crash hit in late May. Fund selling, an NWS disease case, and terrible technicals triggered a bloodbath for hedged producers.

CME's response? Investigate the manipulation?

No. They widened price limits and lowered margins effective June 1.

Wider limits mean bigger daily swings. Lower margins mean more speculators piling in with less skin in the game.

The exchange didn't protect ranchers. It changed the rules to make the next crash easier.

You hedge to manage risk. Then they move the goalposts after you're already in the trade.

🚨BREAKING! NEW WORLD SCREWWORM IS BACK!

First US case since 1966. 3-week-old calf, La Pryor TX. Larvae in a living wound.

Rollins dismissed the border warning days before it crossed.

Herd at 75-year low. Beef +13%. 12-mile quarantine.

The parasite we eradicated is back.

[Meriwether Farms @MeriwetherFarms]

BREAKING NEWS: The USDA has officially confirmed a positive case of the Newworld Screwworm in LaPryor, Texas

This announcement comes less than 24 hours after the Secretary and her allies discredited concerns from elected officials and producers in South Texas, accusing them of spreading misinformation and FAKE NEWS, and reassuring that there were no active cases in the United States

We are immediately calling on the White House to step in and declare a National Emergency to ensure that the USDA does not continue to throttle the funding and resources required to contain this as effectively as possible

The risk of this spreading outside of Texas and even into HUMANS is getting higher and higher by the day, and WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME

[Meriwether Farms @MeriwetherFarms]

We have been warning the public on New World Screwworm for over a year now (some much longer than us)

We even had our account on X suspended for a month when we showed a picture of what an infection looks like in a human, shortly before there was a human case confirmed in the US last August

The Secretary of Agriculture continued to assure the public that the Screwworm situation was “under control” and continued to ignore concerns and requests from producers and elected officials from her home state of Texas

This is not something to no longer downplay or brush off

The Agricultural industry is already entering into hellish conditions this summer because of drought and rising fuel and input prices, compounded now with an outbreak of flesh eating maggots

We need serious and dedicated leadership on this

We need a whole of government approach

We need states next to Texas and Mexico to be able access the resources and funding to combat this pest as they will be caught completely off guard when it reaches their states

We have asked before months ago but are asking again for President Trump to declare a National Emergency Declaration TODAY!

Thank you for your attention to this matter

@WallerRanchCA @KellyGarrett75 @dalebrisby Nice yea good point

[Beef Support | BeefMaps.com @BeefMaps]

Dry cow identification at Radiator Ranch. @dalebrisby walks the feed trough figuring out which cows came up empty. Here's the math they don't teach in boardrooms:

An open cow costs you $861/year in feed, vet, pasture, and overhead — and produces zero calf revenue. Straight from Texas A&M AgriLife's 2026 cow-calf enterprise budget.

In 2020, keeping that same open cow cost $527. Costs up 63% in six years. Pasture alone nearly doubled — $225 to $425 per animal unit.

USDA NASS reports the 2025 calf crop at 32.9M head against 27.7M beef cows — roughly 84% calf crop. That means ~16% of the herd, over 4 million cows, is open or dry every single year.

4 million cows × $861 each = $3.4 billion spent on cows that return nothing.

That's not cowboy work — that's survival math.

[Casey Murph @caseymurph1]

@beefinitiative Wherever the bison used to range, the native vegetation is adapted to grazing. If the grazing doesn't happen, noxious invasions take place.
