In an unprecedented move, representatives from diverse ag and cattle industry groups met recently to identify issues and discuss potential solutions to the price imbalance in the cattle industry.
The groups met at the request of the Livestock Marketing Association, and included representatives from the American Farm Bureau Federation, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, the National Farmers Union, R-CALF USA, and the United States Cattlemen’s Association.
Brett Crosby, a cattle producer from Wyoming and a member of the US Cattlemen’s Association says one of the biggest challenges producers face is a lack of slaughter capacity.
