USDA’S Plan To Rebuild The Nation's Beef Cow Herd The USDA is developing a plan to rebuild the nation's historically low beef cattle herd but will not produce direct payments to producers, according to Secretary Brooke Rollins.  Rollins said “We have no current plants to offer any payment to beef producers.  The government getting involved can completely distort the markets.  No plan is even under consideration to insert ourselves through payments into the beef cattle industry.”  Unquote.  Instead, USDA’s strategy will emphasize expanding access to working lands and developing risk-mitigation tools.  Rollins said more details will be released in mid-October. Justin Tupper, Owner/Operator of St. Onge Livestock in St. Onge, South Dakota and President of the U.S. Cattlemen’s Association shares his insight on retaining heifers vs. selling heifers and what producers need to look for in the year(s) to come.   Featured Experts in the Cattle Industry Justin Tupper – St. Onge Livestock, U.S. Cattlemen’s Association https://uscattlemen.org/ https://www.stongelivestock.com/ Follow on Facebook: @USCattlemens Follow on Facebook: @StOngeLivestock Mark Vanzee – Livestock, Equine, & Auction Time Expert https://www.auctiontime.com/ https://www.livestockmarket.com/ https://www.equinemarket.com/ Follow on Facebook: @LivestockMkt | @EquineMkt | @AuctionTime Kirk Donsbach – Financial Analyst at StoneX https://www.stonex.com/ Follow on Facebook: @StoneXGroupInc Shaye Wanner – Host of Casual Cattle Conversation https://www.casualcattleconversations.com/ Follow on Facebook: @cattleconvos Contact Us with Questions or Concerns Have questions or feedback?
