Debate splits Nebraska ag panel over move to a voluntary, statewide brand inspection system Sen. Ben Hansen's LB 12‑58 would move brand administration under the Department of Agriculture and make inspection voluntary statewide. Proponents (feeders, large buyers, industry groups) said voluntary, uniform rules would reduce red tape and attract commerce; Brand Committee leaders, county sheriffs, bankers and cattle organizations warned voluntary rules would weaken ownership verification and shift unpaid costs to counties and lenders.

Nebraska's agriculture faces a pivotal decision: will LB 12‑58 bring the uniformity producers crave or jeopardize ownership verification and market integrity?

Gov. Abbott issues disaster declaration as New World screwworm continues to inch closer to the border – Houston Public Media

This story may not be at the top of the list but it’s still very important. The screwworm is going to devastate our cattle industry. It’s going to take years to set up a lab to grow non-sterile male flies.

Cattle prices are so high that ranchers are losing $100-$300 per head on replacements. This could force some to scale back, potentially tightening beef supply down the road. Chefs, stay flexible with sourcing as the industry faces growing pains. #CattleIndustry #FoodSupply

US cattle producers have started rebuilding herds, or will soon, Tyson Foods CEO says CHICAGO (Reuters) - U.S. cattle producers have started rebuilding the nation’s herd or are close to doing so, Tyson Foods (NYSE:TSN) CEO Donnie King said on Wednesday, after supplies dwindled to a 74-year low. Tight cattle inventories have driven up beef prices for U.S. consumers and forced meatpackers, including Tyson and rivals like Cargill and JBS, to pay more for livestock to slaughter. Farmers slashed their herds by sending more animals to slaughter instead of keeping them to reproduce following a years-long drought that reduced grazing lands and raised prices for livestock feed. Ongoing dryness over the past year had discouraged producers from starting the rebuilding process, which can take roughly two years. Tyson reported an adjusted operating loss of $181 million in its beef business in the six months that ended on March 29.
