For Cow Calf Producers, Implants Have A Clear AdvantageThere’s a perception that non-implanted calves garner a higher premium on sale day than their implanted counterparts. However, data consistently shows no difference in sale price between implanted and non-implanted calves.
Why Use Ralgro From Merck Animal HealthRALGRO® (zeranol implants) increases weaning weight by 23 pounds on average compared to non-implanted calves, according to Merck Animal Health. With results like that, it’s easy to see how cattle implants at the cow-calf level can result in a favorable payday.
Free Standing Panels Vs. Permanent FencingFree-Standing PanelsAdvantages:Portability:
Can be moved or reconfigured easily for different livestock, seasons, or operational needs.
Ideal for temporary or seasonal use.
Quick Setup & Removal:
Require no digging or permanent installation—set up in hours instead of days.
Versatile Use:
Can be used for corrals, sorting pens, alleyways, or even makeshift chutes or holding pens.
Minimal Ground Disturbance:
No need to dig post holes or pour concrete, preserving soil and reducing site impact.
Ideal for Leasing or Shared Land:
Can be used on rented property or rotated across pastures.
Disadvantages:Less Durable in Harsh Conditions:
More likely to shift, tip, or become unstable in high winds or with aggressive animals.
Theft or Misplacement:
More prone to being stolen or moved if not secured.
Higher Long-Term Cost per Use:
Although cheaper upfront than heavy-duty permanent structures, replacing or repairing worn panels can add up.
Limited Size & Strength:
Often not suitable for large or very strong animals unless reinforced or anchored.
Permanent FencingAdvantages:Strength & Durability:
More secure for large or aggressive livestock.
Withstands weather and repeated use better over time.
Low Maintenance (Long-Term):
When built correctly with quality materials, requires less frequent repair.
Increased Property Value:
Adds permanent infrastructure, improving land resale or lease value.
Security:
Less likely to be tampered with, moved, or stolen.
Disadvantages:Expensive Upfront:
Higher costs for materials, labor, and installation.
Inflexible:
Cannot be moved or resized without significant effort and cost.
Time-Consuming to Install:
May take days or weeks to complete, especially for larger corrals or complex layouts.
Requires Permanent Land Use Decision:
Not ideal for rotational grazing systems or temporary setups.
Which One to Choose?Use Free-Standing Panels if:You need flexibility, have limited budget upfront, are leasing land, or run a mobile or multi-site operation.
Choose Permanent Fencing if:You want long-term security, own the land, manage large herds, or need infrastructure that stands the test of time.

Episode 82
Oklahoma joins the list of states to enact meat labeling laws. Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt last week signed into law a measure requiring manufactured protein products to be labeled differently from meat.
House Bill 1126 requires food manufacturers, distributors and retailers to clearly disclose that cell-cultivated or cultured products or those that come from a lab, plants or insect proteins are not meat. Those convicted of false advertising could face a misdemeanor.
The law places the burden of proof on the manufacturer and not the retailer. Oklahoma’s Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry would be responsible for investigating complaints that food products are falsely advertised or misbranded as meat products. The act takes effect Nov. 1.
Several U.S. states have enacted or proposed laws regulating the labeling of meat and alternative protein products, particularly focusing on plant-based and cell-cultured (lab-grown) meats. These laws aim to ensure transparency for consumers and protect traditional meat industries.AP News+7The Guardian+7National Agricultural Law Center+7
States with Enacted Meat Labeling LawsMissouri: In 2018, Missouri became the first state to pass a law prohibiting misrepresentation of products as meat if they are not derived from harvested livestock or poultry. Wikipedia
Arkansas: Enacted Act 501, which restricts the use of traditional meat terms on plant-based and cell-cultured products. Wikipedia+1NYU Environmental Law Journal+1
Louisiana: Passed legislation banning the use of meat terminology on products not derived from animals. Wikipedia+1NYU Environmental Law Journal+1
Mississippi: Implemented laws requiring clear labeling of alternative meat products and, more recently, passed a bill banning the manufacture and sale of lab-grown meat. Big Rapids Pioneer+4WIRED+4NYU Environmental Law Journal+4
Florida: In May 2024, Florida became the first state to ban the manufacture and sale of cell-cultured meat, defining it as any meat product produced from cultured animal cells. Penn State Agricultural Law Center+3National Agricultural Law Center+3Houston Chronicle+3
Alabama: Followed Florida by enacting similar legislation banning the production and sale of lab-grown meat. National Agricultural Law Center+7WIRED+7Big Rapids Pioneer+7
States with Proposed or Pending LegislationMichigan: Introduced bills aiming to prohibit labeling lab-grown meat substitutes as "meat" and to ban the manufacture and sale of cultivated meat derived from animal cell cultures. Big Rapids Pioneer
Nebraska: Governor Jim Pillen proposed a ban on lab-grown meat, facing pushback from ranchers and farm groups who prefer clear labeling over outright bans. AP News
Arizona and Tennessee: Considered legislation to ban cell-cultured meat; however, the bills did not pass in the 2024 legislative sessions. Penn State Agricultural Law Center+2National Agricultural Law Center+2Houston Chronicle+2
Federal RegulationsAt the federal level, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) oversees meat labeling through the Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS). In March 2024, the USDA finalized a rule allowing the voluntary use of "Product of USA" or "Made in the USA" labels on meat, poultry, and egg products only when they are derived from animals born, raised, slaughtered, and processed in the United States. USDA
SummaryThe landscape of meat labeling laws in the U.S. is evolving, with several states enacting or proposing legislation to regulate the labeling of alternative meat products. These laws vary in scope, with some focusing on prohibiting specific terminology and others imposing outright bans on certain products. The federal government also plays a role in standardizing labeling practices to ensure consumer transparency.

U.S.–China Trade War Eases with Major Tariff Reductions on Meat ExportsIn a significant development for U.S. agriculture, the ongoing U.S.–China trade war eased this week following a new 90-day tariff reduction agreement. The deal brings temporary relief to U.S. meat exporters who have faced steep trade barriers in the Chinese market.
Under the agreement, U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods will drop from 145% to 30%, while China’s retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products, including meat, will fall from 125% to 10%. The reductions officially took effect on Wednesday, May 14th, signaling progress as both nations continue trade negotiations.
China, the world’s largest beef importer, remains a critical market for U.S. meat. In 2024 alone, U.S. exports to China included nearly $1.6 billion in beef, $1.1 billion in pork, and $490 million in poultry meat and products.
This temporary tariff relief offers a much-needed boost to American meat producers and exporters while long-term trade talks continue.

USDA Closes U.S. Border to Livestock Imports Amid Northward Spread of New World Screwworm (NWS)The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has once again closed the southern border to live cattle, horses, and bison imports due to the ongoing detection and rapid spread of New World Screwworm or NWS, in southern Mexico. This latest decision follows continued reports of the parasite advancing further north than previously observed—up to 700 miles from the U.S. border.
U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins announced the immediate suspension of livestock imports through U.S. ports of entry along the southern border. This action comes after the border had temporarily reopened in early February following enhanced inspections and biosecurity protocols. The border was initially closed in November of the previous year due to similar concerns.
The New World Screwworm (Cochliomyia hominivorax) poses a significant threat to livestock health and U.S. agriculture. Though eradicated from the United States in 1966, NWS has reemerged in remote areas of southern Mexico, including on farms with limited cattle movement. The pest’s resurgence is being treated with high urgency by both U.S. and Mexican officials.
To combat the spread, USDA-APHIS (Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) is working closely with Mexican authorities to increase the release of sterile screwworm flies, the primary method for controlling the pest. This sterile fly technique had successfully helped maintain a barrier zone in southern Mexico and later extended into Panama, serving as a buffer for decades.
However, over the past two years, the screwworm has advanced through Central America and back into Mexico, creating an escalating threat to U.S. livestock industries. USDA-APHIS and Mexican counterparts will continue aggressive surveillance, monitoring, and mitigation efforts to stop the spread.
The border will remain closed until USDA determines that the risk has been sufficiently mitigated and disease metrics improve.
The decision to suspend cattle imports from Mexico has led to a downward revision in projected U.S. beef production for 2025 and 2026, according to the agency’s latest WAZ-de Report, World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates. The report cites tighter cattle supplies and reduced slaughter volumes tied to the import halt as key drivers behind the lower forecasts.
Beef exports are also forecast lower as limited domestic supplies are expected to reduce U.S. competitiveness abroad.

Trade Wars Cease As U.S. Beef Exports ResumeThe ongoing U.S.–China trade war eased this week following a new 90-day tariff reduction agreement.
Under the agreement, U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods will drop from 145% to 30%, while China’s retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products, including meat, will fall from 125% to 10%. The reductions officially took effect on Wednesday, May 14th.
In addition, the U.S. and United Kingdom governments announced an “agreement in principle” Thursday for a trade deal that promises to lift beef exports.
The outline includes cuts to recently hiked U.S. tariffs on British cars, steel and aluminum, while the U.K. would slash tariffs on 2,500 U.S. products to a reported average tariff rate 1.8%. On the beef side, sales to the U.K. were worth $32 million last year.
Agriculture Secretary Brooke called the announcement “a historic deal with the UK that secures increased access for American agricultural products, including unprecedented access for American beef and ethanol.

EPISODE 78 DETAILS
U.S.-China Tariff War Cripples Agricultural Exports as Industry Faces Major SetbacksTriple-Digit Tariffs Disrupt U.S. Beef, Poultry, and Pork Exports to China and Hong KongTriple-digit tariff rates on goods traded between the United States and China have “effectively closed that market for U.S. exports,” according to a source quoted by Politico from the agriculture industry.
Despite the sharp decline in imports, China still purchased $25 billion worth of U.S. food and agricultural products last year. “Making up for that around the world is going to be very challenging,” the source emphasized.
The Trump administration recently imposed new tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese goods, compounding already substantial levies. In response, China retaliated with tariffs reaching 125% on U.S. exports.
Since early March, U.S. beef exports to China have come to a near standstill following Beijing’s declaration that U.S. export licenses were no longer valid. Even before the full retaliation in early April, U.S. chicken exports to China dropped by 48% in February compared to the same month last year.
In 2024, China and Hong Kong together accounted for $525 million in U.S. poultry meat and products (excluding eggs), ranking as the third-largest export market behind Mexico and Canada. Beef exports reached nearly $2 billion, just behind South Korea, while pork exports to the region surpassed $1.1 billion, trailing only Mexico and Japan.

Season 5, EPISODE 233
Virtual Fencing For Livestock ManagementVence, developed by Merck Animal Health, is an innovative virtual fencing system designed to manage cattle movement without traditional physical fences. Utilizing GPS-enabled collars and solar-powered base stations, Vence allows ranchers to define and adjust grazing boundaries remotely, enhancing rotational grazing practices and reducing labor and fencing costs.
How Virtual Fence From Vence Fence WorksBase Stations: Solar-powered units are strategically placed to communicate with the collars, covering 5,000 to 10,000 acres depending on terrain.
CattleRider Collars: Each cow wears a collar equipped with GPS and RF transceivers to track location and communicate with base stations.
HerdManager System: Ranchers use this platform to set and modify virtual boundaries via tablet or computer, facilitating dynamic grazing management. Merck Animal Health USA
Animal Guidance: As cattle approach virtual boundaries, collars emit sound cues; if ignored, a humane electric pulse is applied. Cattle learn to respond to these cues, minimizing the need for physical barriers.

EPISODE 77 DETAILS
Trump Proposes Legal Return for Undocumented FarmworkersFarm Labor in the Spotlight Amid Deportation PlansDuring a cabinet meeting on Thursday, President Donald Trump proposed a potential exception to his broader deportation agenda—specifically for undocumented farmworkers. Trump suggested that some of these workers could legally return to the United States if they first leave the country and are later vouched for by American farmers.
"We’re going to work with farmers … for certain people, that we’re going to let them stay in for a while and work … and then come back and go through a legal process," Trump stated.
A Workforce at Risk: Half of U.S. Farm Labor Is UndocumentedAccording to a report by the Center for Migration Studies, approximately 50% of the U.S. agricultural workforce is undocumented. This includes critical roles in not just crop farming but also in the meat and dairy industries—sectors heavily reliant on immigrant labor.
Farm groups have long cautioned that aggressive immigration enforcement could severely disrupt food production, leading to potential labor shortages, increased food prices, and long-term instability in the agricultural supply chain.
Farmers as Gatekeepers to Legal Status?While the president didn’t provide specific policy details, his comments suggest that a farm-based sponsorship system could be part of future immigration reform efforts. Under this concept, farmers would play a pivotal role in identifying workers essential to their operations who might qualify for temporary or permanent legal status.
Industry Response: Balancing Enforcement and Economic RealityAgricultural leaders have expressed concern about the consequences of mass deportations on their ability to sustain operations. Many argue that a pragmatic, stable guest-worker program is critical for the future of American agriculture.
By offering a potential path for legal return, even with initial deportation, Trump’s remarks may indicate some recognition of the industry’s dependence on this labor force.

Jorgensen Land & Cattle Uses The Latest Technology To Provide Angus BullsMarketing bulls today requires more than just good cattle—it takes innovation. By combining advanced genetics with modern technology, seedstock producers can reach more buyers, offer more confidence, and drive better results.
Jorgensen Land & Cattle of South Dakota leads the industry by blending data, genetics, and digital tools to deliver top-quality Angus bulls.

DLCC Ranch’s commitment to South Devon genetics and use of modern tools shows how combining tradition with innovation can build a stronger future—for cattlemen and customers alike.
Cattle Industry NewsTrump’s Tariffs Trigger Chinese Retaliation, Impacting U.S. Meat ExportsPresident Donald Trump ordered new tariffs on Chinese goods, raising total duties to 104% starting Wednesday in response to China’s retaliation against earlier U.S. measures. In return, China imposed steep tariffs on U.S. meat—56% on beef and 81% on pork—effective Thursday, according to the U.S. Meat Export Federation. This move threatens a major market, as China and Hong Kong were the third-largest U.S. pork buyers at $1.14 billion and the second-largest for beef at nearly $2 billion last year. Meanwhile, Mexico—America’s top pork buyer—has not yet responded to separate U.S. tariffs outside the USMCA agreement.

Season 5, EPISODE 231
Sustainable Beef: A Processing Plant Where Color Doesn’t MatterNew Beef Processing Plant With Competitive Fed Cattle Grid PremiumsThe Red Angus Association of America (RAAA) recently showcased an innovative fed cattle grid pricing system at the NCBA Trade Show. This system, adopted by Sustainable Beef LLC, is set to transform the industry by offering competitive premiums for upper two-thirds Choice carcasses, regardless of hide color.
Angus, Red Angus & Charolais Cross Cattle Receive Same PremiumTom Brink, RAAA CEO, announced that Sustainable Beef LLC, opening in April 2025 in North Platte, Nebraska, will implement a color-blind grid system, equally rewarding Red Angus, Black Angus, and smoky cattle. “This system levels the feeder calf market, allowing feedlots to confidently invest in Red Angus and black-hided cattle, knowing both will qualify for top premiums,” Brink said.
Kelly Smith, RAAA Director of Commercial Marketing, emphasized RAAA’s efforts to connect Red Angus producers with feedlots through its feeder cattle network. He highlighted that FCCP-tagged cattle will meet the Angus label’s genetic verification standards, ensuring seamless access to premium marketing opportunities.
Mark Nelson, Sustainable Beef’s Director of Cattle Procurement, reinforced the company’s commitment to sustainability and producer profitability. Sustainable Beef will provide an exceptional work environment and favor moderate carcass sizes, which naturally benefits Red Angus genetics.
The RAAA-Sustainable Beef collaboration represents a significant step forward in ensuring equitable market opportunities for all quality cattle. This initiative will drive profitability for producers while delivering high-quality beef to consumers.

Cattle Industry NewsJBS Sees Strong Demand Despite Challenges In The U.S. Cattle CycleAccording to JBS executives, JBS expects a more challenging US cattle supply scenario in 2025 compared to last year, when strong beef consumption and initiatives to improve commercial and operational efficiencies contributed to the performance of the US beef business unit.
Executives commented saying that the U.S. cattle cycle will likely be more challenging this year, regardless of the speed of herd replacement, specifically saying that JBS Beef North America's margins still have room to improve by 1% to 1.5% in 2025 due to the company's initiatives to improve commercial and operational efficiencies.
Robust demand continues to support the company's investments in expanding its US meat processing and prepared food facilities. In February, JBS announced $200 million in investments to expand its beef production facilities in Cactus, Texas, and Greeley, Colo.
In the other regions where JBS operates, demand for all animal proteins also remains strong.

Beef Sales To China PlummetMarch 2025 Showed A Dramatic Drop Is Beef Sales To ChinaNew data from the USDA revealed steep declines in beef sales to China following the expiration of trade licenses.According to USDA/FAS data collected by USMEF, beef net sales to China for March 7-13 "plummeted" 92% from the previous week, and for March 14-20, they fell 97%. Overall through March 20, beef net sales to all countries are 43% lower than the previous four-week average.Additional analysis from Steiner Consulting Group found that outstanding beef sales to China are 24% lower year over year.The trade licenses, which were granted in the "Phase 1" trade deal with China in 2020, provide hundreds of U.S. meat plants with access to the Chinese market. However, following a 20% U.S. tariff on all Chinese exports, the Chinese Communist Party promised "strong, powerful countermeasures," which have included not only the expiring licenses, but also additional tariffs on exports of U.S. poultry (15%) and pork (10%). Trade licenses to pork and poultry processors were renewed.According to FAS, China was the U.S.’ No. 3 agricultural export market in 2024, with $1.58 billion in beef, $1.11 billion in pork, and $490.11 million in poultry sales.Upcoming Bull & Heifer Sales On RanchChannel.ComLots of bull and heifer sales coming up on the RanchChannel.Com sale calendar.

Cattle Industry NewsBird Flu Found In SheepAccording to the New York Times and Reuters, Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza or Bird Flu, has infected a sheep in Northern England in what the government on Monday described as the first case of its kind reported anywhere in the world.
While avian influenza had already been detected in cattle and other mammals, including in the United States, the infection of a sheep will increase concern over the potential impact of the disease’s spread.
There have been cases among humans which have ranged in severity from no symptoms to, in rare cases, death. But there has not yet been any confirmed transmission between humans.
The virus is spread through contact with infected birds or other species, including through touching their droppings and bedding, although people can also catch the virus by killing or preparing infected poultry for cooking.
Avian flu has been detected in cattle in the United States, with the Centers for Disease Control reporting 41 cases and 989 dairy herds affected as of last Friday.
Experts say the risk of avian flu to the general public is very low.
Mexico Pushing For More Domestic Pork Facing Trade WarMexico has become a huge importer of U.S. pork, but the government in Mexico City is now talking about self-sufficiency as trade tensions with Washington are about to intensify.
In a recent meeting with domestic producers, the Mexican Agriculture Minister pointed out that the country’s own pork sector only meets 53% of demand. Imports last year reached 1.4 million metric tons, a large majority from the neighboring United States.
President Donald Trump, in early February, threatened 25% tariffs on goods from Mexico and Canada, imposed taxes on large numbers of imports from both countries in early March and has vowed to tariff most other products on April 2. Canada has already retaliated against some U.S. products including chicken, while Mexico is poised to impose tariffs on exports including meats if the United States carries out its threat next week.
Pork demand has soared as Mexico has become more affluent. Last year, 38% of U.S. pork and pork variety meat exports went to Mexico. By value, exports to Mexico jumped 10% in 2024 to nearly $2.6 billion, more than the next two markets, China/Hong Kong and Japan combined. The value of U.S. pork exports to Mexico has more than doubled from $1.15 billion in 2020, and the USDA’s Foreign Agricultural Service projected further growth this year before trade policy disruptions.
Sustainable Beef Plant Comes To NebraskaA crowd estimated at more than 1,200 people witnessed a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a $400-million cattle processing plant this week in North Platte, Neb., a project that Sustainable Beef LLC originally announced in 2021.
The new facility is expected to provide about 850 jobs and expand beef processing capacity in the area in addition to establishing more long-term sustainable growth for local cattle producers and family farms. The facility is expected to process an estimated 1,500 head per day, according to Sustainable Beef officials. We will have more on Sustainable Beef LLC and its new fed cattle grid pricing system with Red Angus Cattle on next week’s program.

EPISODE 74 DETAILS
Consumer Meat Trends: Ground Beef No. 1Millennial Meat Consumers Prefer Ground Beef Over All Other MeatsConsumer trends, food trends, how have these trends changed? Who is consuming our product and why. That was the purpose of the Power of Meat Presentation at the 2025 Annual Meat Conference. The 20th such survey, the Power of Meat polled more than 1,600 consumers, and overlaid their responses with data from in-person consumer interviews and various other avenues with particular attention given to millennial shoppers as they start to take the place as meat consumers.
According to the survey, ground beef was the number 1 food category of the year – among 85,000 other foods - in terms of dollar growth from 2023 to 2024, and chicken was not far behind at No. 10. All told, ground beef sales last year were up 9.6% to $15.3 billion, with unit sales up 6.8% to $1.6 billion.
With a lot of focus on the millennial shopper here are some of the compelling trends that were established:
With 94% of consumers concerned about the cost of living (“astronomical” was a frequent word among surveys), and the average price per unit of meat up 34% from 2019, more and more consumers want to recreate the restaurant experience at home; as a result, retail sales for meat reached $104.6 billion in 2024 (up 1%), and pounds hit 22.8 billion (up 2.3%).72% of consumers said they’d return to normal restaurant purchases if their budget allowed it.Of the meat case’s 2024 growth in units sold, millennials accounted for 62% of that growth, and for dollar sales growth.The survey showed opportunities for processors to advertise specific features on their product’s packaging, including: cook times; proper cooking appliances (especially air fryers for millennials); the nutrients in meat, such as zinc and iron; and finally, messaging around animal welfare, which is prominent in the UK and other European markets.Upcoming Bull & Heifer Sales On RanchChannel.ComLots of bull and heifer sales coming up on the RanchChannel.Com sale calendar.

EPISODE 73 DETAILS
Pork & Poultry To China; Beef Left WaitingU.S. Pork and Poultry Exports to China Resume, But Beef Industry Awaits License RenewalsIn a significant development for U.S. agriculture, pork and poultry producers have regained access to Chinese markets, while beef exporters remain in limbo. The General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) recently restored export licenses for over 300 U.S. pork processing and cold storage facilities, securing trade for the next five years. However, U.S. beef companies are still waiting for confirmation that their "expired" licenses under the Phase 1 trade agreement will be renewed.
China Reopens Market For U.S. Pork & PoultryAccording to the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC), the agreement reinstates billions of dollars in U.S. pork and poultry exports. Major producers such as Cargill Inc., Smithfield Foods, and Tyson Foods Inc. will now resume shipments to China, ensuring steady demand for American meat products. In 2024 alone, U.S. pork exports to China totaled over 367,000 metric tons, valued at approximately $1.1 billion.
Uncertainty Looms For U.S. Beef ExportsDespite these positive developments, the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF) has confirmed that the recent license renewals did not extend to beef producers. The U.S. beef industry exported an estimated 170,000 metric tons to China in 2024, making it a critical market. However, industry analysts at Stephens Inc. caution that uncertainty remains until the registration status is clarified.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) noted that China has yet to respond to renewal requests for U.S. beef export registrations. Over the past few days, the registration status of U.S. meat exports shifted from "existing" to "expired," raising concerns within the industry. Without clarity from Chinese authorities, American beef producers face potential trade disruptions.
Implication For U.S. Beef ProducersWith pork and poultry exports back on track, the focus now shifts to securing access for U.S. beef. Industry leaders and trade officials continue to push for renewed agreements, emphasizing the importance of stability in international trade.
As the situation unfolds, stakeholders in the U.S. beef sector remain hopeful for a resolution that reinstates access to one of the world’s largest meat markets. Stay tuned for updates on this developing trade issue and its impact on the U.S. meat industry.
