Cattle group R-CALF USA is calling for action outside of a cattle contract library to bring fairness to the cattle industry.
R-CALF Director and northwest Iowa cattle producer Eric Nelson tells Brownfield a lack of packer competition is the biggest challenge facing the cattle market.
“To say that just having knowledge of what the contracts are, if you’re a smaller producer, doesn’t mean that you’re going to have the traction and the ability to approach a packer and demand that you’re going to get the same terms that some of these other outfits are getting,” Nelson said.
