After NCBA tweeted some information, I believe what we need is a 100% American Cattleman’s Association. Where only Independent Livestock Producers/Owners are Members! Then we would truly be represented by a organization of our peers. Make Cattle Ranching Great #FairCattleMarkets
Two of our major packers owned by foreigners can bring in cattle from their own country slap a USA label on it and reap the benefits that the US beef industry has worked so hard to earn that is wrong and has to be dealt with #FairCattleMarkets
@realDonaldTrump
Cattlemen have taken an almost 12% cut in pay this fall alone besides the almost 50% cut in pay when COOL was repealed. How many other Americans would take a cut in pay? I would bet...none. Cattlemen deserve better. #FairCattleMarkets
My goodness I watched part of the Senate Ag Committee hearing. If that is the best we have representing us in the livestock industry we are in serious trouble. There was absolutely no heart, fire, or passion from our beef representatives. #FairCattleMarkets God Save the Rancher!!
NCBA sent me some of their fact sheets that says MCOOL never affected consumer demand because consumers did not Understand. But isn’t that why we pay check-off to help educate the public? I would like to see how much was spent to promote the benefits of MCOOL!! #FairCattleMarkets
We cannot continue to let organizations who allow Packers, Canada, Mexico, and Non Livestock owners be part of our Voice. And take over 50% of our check-off $. Because I promise you they do not have the 365 day American Rancher/Cattlemen best interest at heart!!!#FairCattleMarket
@BeefUSA@OGMoneyBadger Thank you for your information. As a Producer I disagree with your data, because I was selling cattle when MCOOL was enforced and seen the benefit! I also have visited with many consumers who did pay attention and only bought beef Born and Raised American!!
PSA: just a reminder that your Congress sold you out in 2015 and this "Made in the U.S.A" label doesn't mean sh*t.
Farm income is in at least its 3rd declining year. @realDonaldTrump, these policies don't help our farmers & ranchers. #BringBackCOOL
An Open Letter to .@realDonaldTrump from a Concerned Rancher....Please retweet this until it gets to the President's desk. Time is of the essence. https://t.co/TeYwEzsBtK
@realDonaldTrump COOL needs to be mandated. The packers don't want it because they buy cheap foreign beef and deceptively sell it as a product of the US. They don't want COOL because they know Americans would buy American beef over cheap foreign beef.#FairCattleMarkets
@realDonaldTrump We need an attitude adjustment for the cattle market. What the packers are doing to us as cattle producers and independent feeders is more than unfair, it is criminal. #FairCattleMarkets
Good Morning from the Heartland President Trump @realDonaldTrump Cattle Producers are in need of your help! Please reinstate Country of Origin Labeling “COOL”. Because why shouldn’t American Consumers know where their Beef was born, raised, and processed! #FairCattleMarkets
Hey @realDonaldTrump rural America helped get you elected. We need help we need some fairness and competition in our markets. Producers and feeders own and care for cattle 365 days a year and are going broke. A packer owns the cattle about a week and gets rich? #FairCattleMarkets
