There have been several bills proposed in Congress to address the price imbalance in the cattle industry and the Senate Ag Committee heard testimony on Wednesday to work toward a solution.
Justin Tupper, vice president of the US Cattlemen’s Association and the owner of the St. Onge Livestock Auction in South Dakota says this isn’t a partisan issue, it’s a producer issue. “In my years as an auctioneer operating St. Onge Livestock, I’ve learned the most important participant in true price discovery is the second bidder,” he says.
