Latest Tariff Updates
Tariff Updates:  European Union
The European Union announced plans for tariffs on $28.3 billion worth of U.S. goods in response to the 25% tariff on steel and aluminum imports that the U.S. imposed on Wednesday.
The counter-tariffs are seen as strategically calculated to deliver a blow to the economies of those U.S. states that have been most supportive of President Trump, and include tariffs on beef and poultry products. Other items on the list include bourbon, motorcycles, peanut butter and jeans. The EU tariffs would be expected to go into effect beginning mid-April, according to a report by Bloomberg.
At the same time, EU leadership indicated that it is open to further negotiations.
“The disruption caused by tariffs is avoidable if the US administration accepts our extended hand and works with us to strike a deal,” EU trade chief Maros Sefcovic was quoted by Bloomberg as saying.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said at the same press conference, “We firmly believe that in a world fraught with geo-economic and political uncertainties, it is not in our common interest to burden our economies with such tariffs.”
Meanwhile, Canada is due to impose, on Thursday, 25% reciprocal tariffs on steel and aluminum products and other U.S. goods that the country imports from the United States.

Season 5, EPISODE 227
Animal Health & Disease Management:  Should We Be Concerned & Tariff Updates
Improving Animal & Disease Management Practices: Foot & Mouth Disease, and Tariff News
Foot & Mouth Disease: In Livestock
Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) is a severe, fast-spreading viral disease that primarily affects cloven-hoofed animals, including cows, pigs, sheep, goats, and deer.
FMD is one of the most challenging animal diseases to control. Although most infected animals survive, they're left weak and unable to produce the level of meat and milk prior to infection. FMD was first discovered in the United States in 1870 and eradicated in 1929.
FMD is not a human health or food safety threat. The disease is not related to hand, foot, and mouth disease, a common childhood illness caused by a different virus.
How To Identify Foot & Mouth Disease
There are 7 known types and more than 60 subtypes of the FMD virus, meaning immunity to one type doesn't protect animals against other types or subtypes. The first signs of illness usually appear within 2 to 14 days after infection. Here's what to look for:
Fever
Great increase in temperature for 2 to 3 days
Blisters/Vesicles
Blisters can develop on the tongue and lips, in and around the mouth, on the mammary glands, and around the hooves. They rupture and discharge clear or cloudy fluid.
Erosions
When blisters pop, they leave raw, eroded areas surrounded by ragged fragments of loose tissue.
Excess saliva
Infected animals may have sticky, foamy, and stringy saliva.
Loss of appetite
Painful tongue and mouth blisters may lead animals to eat less.
Lameness and a reluctance to move or stand
Abortions
Animals can experience spontaneous abortions and sterility.
Milk
Dairy cows may have low milk production.
Heart disease and death
These symptoms are especially prevalent in newborn animals.
FMD Can Easily Be Confused With Other Diseases
FMD may be confused with other diseases that produce blisters, including vesicular stomatitis, bluetongue, bovine viral diarrhea, foot rot in cattle, and swine vesicular disease. The only way to tell if the blisters are caused by the FMD virus is through laboratory testing. If you observe mouth or feet blisters in your animals, report them immediately so that they can be tested.
How To Prevent Foot & Mouth Disease
Report signs of disease. Livestock owners, livestock transport and slaughter personnel, and private veterinarians should watch for symptoms of FMD and immediately report sick animals to Federal, State, Tribal, or local animal health officials. This is especially important if the animals in question have had contact with other animals at locations like livestock markets, feedlots, or fairgrounds.
Be careful what you pack. When traveling outside of the United States, don't bring back any prohibited items (including food) or dirty footwear or clothing that could potentially move the FMD virus or other disease agents.
Declare to U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Upon entering the United States, travelers should indicate to the U.S. Customs any visits to farms, ranches, or other areas where livestock are raised or kept. You should also declare any visits to zoos, circuses, fairs, and other facilities or events where animals were exhibited.
Follow a “5-day” rule. If you visited a farm or had any contact with livestock on your trip, you should avoid all contact with livestock, zoo animals, or wildlife for 5 days after you return to the United States. If you're returning with pet dogs or cats that have had contact with livestock or been in areas frequented by livestock, make sure your pet’s feet, fur, and bedding are free of any dirt or mud and that their bedding doesn't contain straw, hay, or other natural materials. Bathe your pet as soon as you reach your final destination and keep it from all livestock for at least 5 days after returning to the United States.
Controlling By APHIS  Foot & Mouth Disease
Because FMD occurs in many parts of the world, there's always a chance it could be reintroduced into the United States. APHIS continuously monitors FMD worldwide. Our veterinarians stationed overseas help other countries control and eradicate the disease, which reduces the risk of it spreading to the United States.
At ports of entry, we work with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Customs and Border Protection to screen cargo and prevent travelers from bringing any products of concern into the United States. We restrict or prohibit imports of many animals and animal byproducts from areas known to be affected with FMD. We also work with the U.S. Armed Forces to make sure military vehicles and equipment are properly cleaned and disinfected before they return to the United States from international duty.
Across the country, APHIS and other Federal, State, and Tribal animal health officials work with accredited veterinarians to monitor domestic livestock for FMD. We have response plans in place that we can quickly activate if the disease is found in the United States.  Click HERE for additional details.
Tariffs: China Targets U.S Agriculture For Retaliation of 20%
The United States plans to impose a 20% tariff on Chinese goods, could result in a significant escalation in trade tensions between the two economic giants. In response, China is reportedly preparing countermeasures that could directly impact U.S. agriculture and food exports.
According to The Global Times, the official newspaper of the Chinese Communist Party, Beijing "will definitely carry out strong, powerful countermeasures" if the U.S. increases the current 10% tariff. The report indicates that American agricultural products, including beef and pork, are "most likely" to be targeted with new tariffs.
The trade uncertainty is already shaking U.S. agricultural markets. Hog futures have dropped 6% in recent trading sessions, according to the Daily Livestock Report (DLR). China and Hong Kong together account for 19% of U.S. beef exports and 6.5% of pork exports—significant figures that highlight the stakes of these trade tensions.
As it stands, China has already imposed a 37% tariff on U.S. pork and a 12% tariff on U.S. beef, making American meat exports less competitive in the Chinese market. A further escalation could worsen the situation for U.S. farmers and ranchers.
With agriculture facing potential economic strain, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Rollins has signaled readiness to implement relief measures. She indicated that a financial aid package similar to the $28 billion bailout deployed during the 2018 trade war under President Trump could be reintroduced. However, reports suggest that only $4 billion remains in the fund earmarked for agricultural assistance in 2025, raising concerns about the adequacy of available support.
All eyes are on how China will respond and what further actions the U.S. might take. The agricultural sector, already facing global market challenges, is bracing for potential disruptions. For farmers, ranchers, and agribusinesses, staying informed about trade policy developments is crucial. If China follows through with its threats, the impact could be widespread across U.S. agriculture, affecting prices, exports, and overall farm profitability.
Canada and Mexico are also in the cross hairs of trade tariffs with both countries promising immediate retaliatory responses.

Season 5, EPISODE 226
Data Decides The Bulls At Keller Broken Heart Ranch & Beef Checkoff Updates
Using Technology At Keller Broken Heart Ranch For Bull Selection
Genetics That Combine Data & Functionality
At Keller Broken Heart Ranch, great cattle are more than just numbers—they must also look and function well. This philosophy has produced standout donor cows like WS Miss Sugar C4 and BarCK 106Z, whose offspring consistently lead the herd and excel in other breeding programs nationwide.
These cows and their progeny have shaped the Keller herd’s genetics, with their descendants now leading the charge in improving carcass traits and maintaining physical quality. Sons of these donors are used in AI programs, and daughters have become foundational to future breeding success.
A Vision For Continuous Improvement
The Kellers embrace the mindset of lifelong learners, always striving to improve their herd. By mating cattle on paper and analyzing performance data, leveraging RightMate by Allied Genetic Resources, the Keller Broken Heart Ranch achieves uniformity in their herd without sacrificing performance. Focus on data-driven decision-making has become the cornerstone of their success.
This commitment to innovation and adaptability ensures that Keller Broken Heart Ranch remains a leader in the Simmental and SimAngus industries, producing cattle that excel in data, performance, and visual appeal.
The Future Outlook 
The ranch remains steadfast in its mission: to improve the herd. By annually selling 120 bulls and 80 heifers, the Kellers stay dedicated to producing cattle with high marks on the ASA (American Simmental Association) All-Purpose Index (API) and Terminal Index (TI).
Some Say The DOGE Should Look At The Beef Checkoff
According to Meating Place, the Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund United Stockgrowers of America or R-CALF, CEO Bill Bullard encouraged ranchers and cattlemen to reach out to President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to request the agency audit the USDA’s Beef Checkoff Program.  Bullard said that we’ve long argued that the beef checkoff program, which is a USDA program that requires cattle producers to pay $1 for every head of cattle they sell; and it collects about $70 million each year, which he says, much of that comes from producers who do not support the mandatory government program.  He went on to say that while the beef checkoff program is supposed to fund education, promotion and research for beef, and not fund lobbying, evidence of abuse has surfaced and an independent audit report found that $216,000 of mandatory producer contributions had been misspent.
The Beef Checkoff has strong cattle producer support, according to The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), and undergoes annual audits and posts that information on their website.
NCBA Vice President of Government Affairs Ethan Lane told Meating Place that the Beef Checkoff is an example of individual farmers and ranchers coming together to create a program that conducts research, educates consumers and builds demand for beef with a return on investment to producers of $13.41 for every $1 invested—all while operating with annual financial audits, strict oversight and at no cost to American taxpayers. R-CALF is a non-profit organization serving as a voice for independent cow-calf and sheep producers and feeders across America. NCBA is a non-profit trade association representing U.S. cattle producers.  DOGE is a temporary contracted organization under the United States Digital Service, which has asked the public to contact the organization with ideas for “reducing waste, fraud and abuse.”
Imports Of Mexican Cattle Are Expected To Resume
 A temporary suspension of imports of Mexican cattle into the United States is ending, according to several reports. The Mexican Agriculture Minister said that USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service  or  (APHIS) signed the first memorandums to allow the suspension to be lifted. The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) thanked the Trump administration and USDA for “working swiftly” to protect the U.S cattle supply from the threat of New World Screwworm, which sparked the import suspension late last year. APHIS has developed a comprehensive protocol that involves layers of veterinary inspections and treatment to prevent the spread of screwworm and other types of ticks and insects.

EPISODE 70 DETAILS
Brucellosis Found In Wyoming Cattle
Cowherds Quarantined Because Of Wyoming Brucellosis
Routine surveillance testing has identified brucellosis affected cattle herds in Wyoming. One herd is in Park County which borders Yellowstone National Park and Montana. The other is in Sublett County in west-central Wyoming. While the two counties are not contiguous, they are connected by forested areas and mountain ranges.
Both herds are located within Wyoming’s Brucellosis Designated Surveillance Area (DSA) and were quarantined following confirmation of the test results. No contact herd quarantines are anticipated. The Wyoming Livestock Board (WLSB) currently has three herds in Park County and another herd in Sublette County under brucellosis quarantine.
Testing of affected herds is a cooperative effort between herd owners and private veterinary practitioners. USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and Veterinary Services (VS) personnel participate. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department cooperates with federal agencies in surveillance and diagnostics of brucellosis.
In cattle and bison, the bacteria of concern is Brucella abortus. Brucellosis or “bangs disease” has been in the U.S. since the 1930s. All 50 U.S. states, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands are today considered brucellosis-free—except in livestock near the Greater Yellowstone Area (GYA) where wild bison and elk often intermingle with cattle in the last remaining reservoir of this disease in the U.S.  For the full article, click HERE.

Retail Beef Demand Stays Strong in 2025
According to Oklahoma State University Extension Livestock Marketing Specialist Derrell Peel, The all-fresh retail beef price for January was $8.15/lb., up 4.3% year over year.  All-fresh beef retail prices have averaged 5.2% higher month over month for the last year leading to retail all-fresh beef prices for the past twelve months at a record average level of $8.27/lb. Per capita beef consumption in 2024 was unexpectedly higher at 59.7 pounds as a result of constant domestic beef production and larger net imports of beef. The combination of increased beef consumption and higher prices he says indicates stronger beef demand. 
 All-fresh retail beef prices continue to increase relative to pork and broiler prices.
 Wholesale Choice beef cutout prices have averaged 11.8% higher year over year for the first six weeks of 2025. Prices are higher for all primals with stronger prices for end meats relative to middle meats.  Prices for rib primals are up 9.2% year over year with loins prices up 4.6% compared to the first six weeks a year ago.  Chuck prices are 14.8% higher and round primal prices are up 22.3% year over year.
 Prices for most wholesale beef cuts are higher thus far in 2025 compared to one year ago Most steak prices are higher, including Strip Loins and Ribeye. The most notable exception is weaker prices for Tenderloin in recent weeks.  Strong prices and numerous lean carcass cuts, primarily from the round, are supported by increased grinding demand for ground beef production.

EPISODE 69 DETAILS
Line 1 Hereford Cattle & Nebraska Cultivated Meat Update
Line 1 Hereford Cattle For Sale, Division about Nebraska Cultivated Meat Ban
EF1 Cattle Company:  Why Line 1 Hereford Cattle
Welcome to EF1 Cattle Company where our Line 1 Herefords are meticulously linebred to ensure consistent, high-performing genetics, making them a top choice for commercial beef production. Their proven predictability enhances herd uniformity, fertility, and feed efficiency, adding long-term value for ranchers focused on genetic improvement.
EF1 Cattle Company Line 1 Hereford Cattle:  Built For Longevity, Soundness, & Exceptional Performance
At EF1 Cattle Company, our Line 1 Hereford two-year-old bulls are carefully raised using a “low and slow” approach to ensure optimal longevity, soundness, and performance in real-world conditions. These bulls are raised entirely on their mothers’ milk, with no creep feed, to develop naturally. We wean in early winter and transition to a developing ration, preparing bulls for spring turnout on lush grass where their superior genetics truly shine.
During their second year, our Line 1 Hereford bulls spend summer and fall grazing native grass, with access to free-choice minerals and salt. As sale time nears, bulls are moved to a 40-acre paddock near headquarters, where they receive a precisely balanced, low mega-calorie ration. Unlike other bulls pushed too hard for fast growth, our bulls develop muscle shape and thickness gradually—just like an athlete training steadily for peak performance. This method ensures the bulls have the endurance to cover more cows while maintaining their condition, making them an ideal choice for ranchers seeking long-lasting, high-performance genetics.
Nebraska Ag Interests Push Back On Proposed Cultivated Meat Ban
At least two major ag groups are not supporting a proposal to ban cultivated proteins as proposed last month by Neb. Gov. Jim Pillen and State Sen. Barry DeKay.
The Nebraska Farm Bureau and Nebraska Cattlemen separately announced support for specific provisions in the proposal that requires special labeling and standards for protein derived from the cells of food animals, but the entities do not support a total ban of the lab-produced products. The Farm Bureau supports the restriction of plant-based and cultivated proteins being labeled “meat” and favors establishment of state-level laws covering potential mislabeling of such proteins. Similarly, the Cattlemen support clear labeling requirements for alt-proteins but not a complete ban as product developers should be able to compete in the marketplace

American Beef Labeling Act Sparks Debate Over Mandatory Country-of-Origin Labeling (MCOOL)
A new federal proposal to reinstate mandatory country-of-origin labeling (MCOOL) for beef has ignited debate among industry leaders, ranchers, and lawmakers. While some ranchers and advocacy groups support the American Beef Labeling Act, the Meat Institute has expressed concerns, citing past trade disputes and economic impacts.
What Is the American Beef Labeling Act?
The bipartisan bill, introduced in the U.S. Senate, seeks to require beef sold in the United States to display its country of origin. However, MCOOL was previously repealed in 2015 after the World Trade Organization (WTO) ruled that it violated trade agreements by unfairly discriminating against Canadian and Mexican livestock producers.
The bill’s lead sponsors, Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) and Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.), are joined by co-sponsors John Fetterman (D-Pa.), Martin Heinrich (D-N.M.), John Hoeven (R-N.D.), Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), and Mike Rounds (R-S.D.). If passed, the legislation would direct the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) and USDA to develop a WTO-compliant solution within 12 months. If no agreement is reached, the previous MCOOL rule would automatically be reinstated for beef.
Industry Reactions: Meat Institute vs. Ranchers
The Meat Institute, representing meat processors and packers, opposes the bill, favoring voluntary country-of-origin labeling (COOL) instead. Sarah Little, Vice President of Communications, stated that past MCOOL policies distorted trade, raised consumer beef prices, and provided no measurable benefits to U.S. cattle producers.
On the other hand, rancher advocacy groups such as R-CALF USA, the South Dakota Farmers Union, and the United States Cattlemen’s Association (USCA) support the legislation. USCA President Justin Tupper emphasized that truthful labeling is essential for consumer transparency and the future of American ranchers.
What’s Next for Mandatory Beef Labeling?
Supporters argue that MCOOL would empower consumers by clearly identifying American beef, while opponents warn of potential trade retaliation and economic consequences. With bipartisan backing, the bill’s progress will be closely watched by cattle producers, meatpackers, and industry stakeholders.
Key Takeaways:
-The American Beef Labeling Act proposes reinstating mandatory country-of-origin labeling (MCOOL) for beef.-The Meat Institute opposes the measure, citing trade concerns and consumer price impacts.-Rancher advocacy groups support MCOOL, calling for transparency in beef labeling.-If no WTO-compliant solution is reached in 12 months, the MCOOL rule would be reinstated.

Cattle Industry News
NCBA Calls Out Supreme Court Decision on Corporate Transparency Act: A Blow to Family Farms and Ranches
The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) voiced strong disappointment following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to lift an injunction that had temporarily halted enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA).
The CTA introduces new reporting requirements that some say could impose significant burdens on small businesses, including family-owned farms and ranches. NCBA Executive Director of Government Affairs, Kent Bacus, expressed concern about the potential impact by saying the Corporate Transparency Act will blanket family-owned farms and ranches in excessive red tape, placing millions of small business owners at risk of legal trouble.  He went on to say that he is urging President Trump and the Treasury Secretary to intervene and protect small businesses from these onerous requirements by delaying enforcement until a workable solution is found.
While NCBA’s advocacy primarily focuses on farmers and ranchers, the Act’s implications extend beyond agriculture. NCBA’s Director of Policy Communications highlighted how the law could also weigh heavily on small and family-owned meat processors, adding to their regulatory challenges.
The U.S. Supreme Court's decision overturned a nationwide injunction, allowing the Department of Treasury to enforce the Act while ongoing federal court cases challenge its legality.
What This Means for Small BusinessesThe CTA would require entities to disclose detailed ownership information to the federal government, which could pose administrative and financial challenges for smaller operations. 
Given the complexity of these new requirements, it is recommended that whether in agriculture, meat processing, or other industries—seek advice from legal or tax professionals to ensure compliance and mitigate risks.

Pork Industry Monitors H5N1 Developments

National Pork Board CEO Bill Even highlighted ongoing collaboration with poultry, dairy and USDA teams to ensure readiness in case of an outbreak. “Fortunately for the pork industry, we haven’t had any issues,” Even said. He assured consumers that pork products would remain safe to eat even if H5N1 were to affect the sector.
