Cattlemen Sound Alarm on Beef Trade | Pierre News

South Dakota cattlemen are furious as former President Trump drops a major beef trade deal on Truth Social—announcing 300,000 metric tons of imported ground beef without warning or details. The Cattlemen’s Association says it’s a gut-punch for ranchers, designed to slash prices but ultimately destabilizing the entire beef supply chain. They’ve been trying to educate the White House, but feel ignored—especially since the deal’s partner and terms are still unknown. With policy decisions flying through social media instead of formal channels, industry leaders are sounding the alarm: transparency is missing, and the consequences could hurt both farmers and consumers. They’re demanding a seat at the table and smarter, more informed trade moves. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
