Top Headlines: Trump For Agriculture, Register Your Business Deadline & Cattle Industry News
Why Trump Supports Agriculture
Agriculture: President Trump Views Importance
What could the new Trump Administration do for agriculture? Justin Tupper, President of the U.S. Cattlemen's Association and owner/manager of St. Onge Livestock in St. Onge, South Dakota shares his thoughts.
Why Your Business Must File With Government
Deadline: Farmers & Ranchers Must File BOI Report Avoid Fines & Jail Time
Attention farmers, ranchers, agricultural and/or small businesses: A critical deadline is approaching. By January 1, 2025, thousands of farms must file Beneficial Ownership Information (BOI) with the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) or face severe consequences, including hefty fines and possible jail time.
Who Needs to File?
Under the Corporate Transparency Act of 2021, businesses must register any “beneficial owner” to help combat money laundering. This law applies to farms structured as:
C-corporations
S-corporations
Limited Liability Companies (LLCs)
Specifically, farms with fewer than 20 employees or generating less than $5 million in cash receipts must comply. This requirement impacts the majority of farms, with one report estimating over 230,000 farms are affected. However, government data reveals less than 11% of eligible businesses have filed so far.
The Consequences of Non-Compliance
Failing to file BOI or neglecting to update records can lead to:
Criminal fines up to $10,000
Civil penalties of up to $591 per day
Potential felony charges with prison sentences of up to two years
The financial and legal risks make it essential for farmers to act promptly.
What Should Farmers Do?
Farmers uncertain about their filing obligations should immediately consult with a qualified accountant or attorney. These professionals can assess your business structure and ensure compliance with BOI requirements.
Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late
The clock is ticking. Protect your farm, avoid penalties, and stay compliant. Take action now to file your BOI by the January 1, 2025, deadline.

Top Cattle Industry News
Brooke Rollins Tapped To Lead USDA Under President-Elect Trump
President-elect Donald Trump has chosen Brooke Rollins, former White House domestic policy adviser and current CEO of the America First Policy Institute, to lead the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).
Rollins, a Texas native with strong ties to agriculture and conservative advocacy, previously led the Texas Public Policy Foundation, championing causes like school choice and fossil fuels. If confirmed, she will become the second woman to head the USDA, following Ann Veneman under President George W. Bush.
With a $200 billion budget and nearly 100,000 employees, the USDA oversees programs like SNAP, WIC, and school meals. Rollins may also tackle the reauthorization of the massive farm bill, which funds farmer safety nets, rural development, and nutrition programs.
Her leadership could drive Trump’s agenda to streamline federal bureaucracy, enforce tariffs, and shape U.S. agricultural policy amid challenges like trade disputes and global competition.
October Proves A Monster Month For Retail Meat Sales
The average price per pound in the meat department across all cuts and kinds, both fixed and random weight, stood at $4.67 in October 2024, up 1.9% year-on-year. Processed meat prices rose the least in October, at a mere +0.1%.
October brought a mix of price movements. Beef and hot dogs increased further, but it was fresh exotic (which includes bison) that had the highest price increase in October, at +6.8% over last year’s October. Several proteins experienced price decreases, including lamb, bacon and processed chicken.
Meat department sales were on a roll in October, with fresh meat sales driving 8.0% gains to lead the department to an overall 5.4% increase over October 2023. The five October weeks generated $10.0 billion, with $7.1 billion for fresh meat. While inflation played a role, pound sales increased by 3.4%, also driven by strong gains in fresh meat.
USDA WASDE Report Highlights 2024 Beef Market Trends
The USDA’s latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) report offers insights into the evolving beef market, signaling continued growth and strong demand.
Beef Production Outlook:Higher dressed weights, increased cow slaughter, and unexpected cattle placements in late 2024 have raised beef production projections. These factors, according to the report, "more than offset lower expected steer and heifer slaughter."
Cattle Prices Rising:WASDE projects 2024 average cattle prices to reach $186.68/cwt, reflecting strong demand and recent market trends. Prices are expected to remain above $186/cwt through the third quarter of 2025, a notable increase from 2023's average of $175.54.
Beef Imports Surge:With strong domestic demand and ongoing cattle herd liquidation, U.S. beef imports are projected to stay robust. After reaching 3.725 billion pounds in 2023, imports are estimated to climb to 4.508 billion pounds in 2024. Shipments from Oceania and South America have exceeded expectations.
These trends emphasize the strength of the beef industry despite challenges like herd contraction, showcasing opportunities for producers and exporters alike.

EPISODE 212 DETAILS
USDA ELECTRONIC ID TAGS EXPLAINED & TOP SIMMENTAL GENETICS
USDA Electronic ID Tag Rules Explained
USDA EID Tag Rule Sparks Questions
Producers are still confused about how to use the new USDA EID Tags, where to get them, and wondering if there are enough in circulation. Justin Tupper, President of the U.S. Cattlemen's Association and owner/manager of St. Onge Livestock in St. Onge, South Dakota helps explain the rules and shares his experience and thoughts on the program.
As the leading provider of EID tags and readers through the Allflex® brand, Merck Animal Health wants to support cattle producers in their decision-making with the expertise and solutions they need.
Key Distinctions With Official ID Rules
The new policy only applies to interstate movement. Other exemptions include direct-to-slaughter cattle and sexually intact cattle (and bison) under 18 months of age.Animals that will need electronically and visually readable tags when they enter interstate movement include:
Sexually intact cattle and bison 18 months or older
All dairy cattle, including beef-on-dairy crossbred animals
Cattle and bison of any age used for rodeo, recreation events, shows or exhibitions
Another important detail: Visual ear tags applied before Nov. 5, 2024, will be recognized as official IDs for the life of the animal. They’ll be grandfathered in and will not need an EID.
Easing The Financial Burden
Producers and the livestock industry have raised concerns about the potential cost burden of the new tagging policies. Congress recently directed USDA-APHIS to allocate no less than $15 million for the cost of tags and related infrastructure to help offset those costs.2
Producers may be able to access EID tags for free via their state veterinarian. They can apply those tags at approved tagging sites. Producers can also buy EIDs directly from a distributor, online vendor or local dealer and apply the tags themselves.
In addition, producers are not required to invest in tag-reading hardware or software, unless they choose to do so for herd management and record keeping. The EID tags can be used the same way as visual tags.
Addressing Data Privacy Concerns
EID tags are encoded with a number that identifies the animal, but no owner-specific information. The data associated with the tags will be stored in various federal and state databases.Access to that data will also be restricted to the state and federal officials responsible for managing high-impact diseases of the cattle industry.
USDA agnostic on EID tags
USDA isn’t mandating or recommending any one brand of ear tag. Tags must be approved by the department and will be imprinted with the Official Eartag Shield.The Allflex radio frequency ID (RFID) tags offered by Merck Animal Health meet these standards. They use a short-read range that doesn’t interfere with radio frequencies commonly found in livestock operations. Allflex tags do not include any global positioning system (GPS) capabilities. Producers also use these RFID tags to track health protocols, performance, reproduction and genetics.The new tagging requirements are intended to bolster the industry’s tracing capabilities in the event of a disease outbreak. Contact your Merck Animal Health representative or tag supplier to find out how Allflex tags can help you comply with these rules while managing your beef or dairy operation more efficiently.

Latest Beef Industry News
Australia & New Zealand Meat Industries Brace for Possible Trump Tariffs
Introduction:As Donald Trump’s potential return to the White House stirs conversations around economic policies, the agricultural sector, particularly animal agriculture, is bracing for potential impacts. Among the most discussed issues are Trump's proposed tariffs, which range from 10% to 20% on all U.S. imports and up to 60% on Chinese imports. These tariffs could have significant consequences for U.S. consumers and meat exporters like Australia and New Zealand, who have capitalized on increased demand following U.S. herd liquidations.
Trump's Proposed Tariffs on U.S. ImportsTrump’s proposed tariffs could raise prices on imported meat, directly impacting U.S. consumers. Australia and New Zealand, which have become key suppliers of beef to the U.S., would be particularly affected by these policies. Any increase in tariffs could result in reduced competitiveness for these exporters, potentially reducing meat supply in the U.S. market and driving prices higher for consumers.
Industry Reactions and ConcernsNathan Guy, independent chair of the Meat Industry Association of New Zealand, expressed concern in a recent interview. He stated that the industry would need to "breathe through it" over the coming months and adapt as the situation unfolds. Guy warned that new tariffs on New Zealand beef could ultimately "hurt the U.S. consumer even harder because they're going to have to pay more for the [beef] we produce."
Similarly, Stefan Vogel, general manager of RaboResearch Australia and New Zealand, highlighted in an interview with Weekly Times Now the potential strain these tariffs could place on meat industry players globally. The ripple effects could extend beyond beef to include lamb and other meats, affecting prices and availability for consumers across various markets.
Economic Impact on Animal AgricultureThe proposed tariffs would likely lead to shifts in supply and demand within the animal agriculture industry, impacting everything from feed prices to livestock management strategies. U.S. producers may see opportunities for increased market share, but these gains could be offset by rising costs and logistical challenges.
ConclusionTrump's proposed tariffs bring uncertainties for the global meat trade, potentially raising prices for U.S. consumers and creating challenges for exporters. As animal agriculture stakeholders prepare for possible policy changes, close attention to tariff developments and adaptive strategies will be key to navigating this evolving landscape.

Certified Angus Beef Sells Well & Feeder Cattle Sales
Certified Angus Beef Continues It’s Hot Streak
Sales remain strong for Certified Angus Beef (CAB), including with international customers. According to a report from Angus Journal, exports of CAB products are up 7.5% year over year, while overall beef exports are down 2% this year. That follows news of positive domestic growth, with 415 million CAB pounds to foodservice and 500 million pounds to retail. Canada, Mexico, South Korea and Japan, the Angus Journal noted, have been particularly strong markets for CAB products. Sales have also been robust in the Middle East markets of Kuwait, Qatar, the UAE and Oman, with sales up 80% from October 2023 through May 2024. Jones noted that 30% of all U.S. beef to the region is now CAB product.

Appeals Court Decides Whether Tyson Owes Ghost Cattle Operator
A federal appeals court sided with a Washington district court’s ruling that Tyson Fresh Meats did not owe Cody Allen Easterday any money for alleged breach-of-contract claims.
Easterday is currently serving a 11-year prison sentence for defrauding the company of $244 million in a ghost cattle scheme. Companies related to his operation had repaid at least $63 million to Tyson as of February 2023.
He claimed Tyson owed him approximately $100 million for using his likeness on meat product labels in Japan.
USDA Says Hog Had Wild H5N1, Utah Reports First Dairy Outbreak
The avian flu found in a backyard hog in Oregon appears to be a strain of H5N1 contracted directly from wild birds, rather than the strain that crosses over from birds to dairy cattle, according to top USDA officials.
Meanwhile, Utah has confirmed its first outbreak in dairy cattle, with infections discovered on eight farms in Cache County. The appearance followed the culling in early October of the entire flock of 1.8 million chickens after the virus was discovered on a Utah poultry facility for the first time since 2022.

Preg Testing Your Cowherd
Different types and ways of pregnancy testing your cowherd and their benefits.
Every producer owning cattle, whether it is 1 cow or 1,000 cows should be pregnancy testing the herd. There are a number of techniques and styles of checking your cows if they are open or bred. Bob Weaber for Kansas State University joins us discussing various different ways from blood tests to manual palpation to ultrasound and their benefits.
Latest Beef Industry News
European Union Makes Decision On Cultivated Meat Ban
The European Commission criticized Hungary’s proposed ban on cultured meat, calling it “unjustified” and potentially disruptive to the EU single market.
“No lab-grown meat products are currently authorized in the EU, making a ban premature,” stated the Commission, adding that it could interfere with the EU’s scientific approval process for novel foods. Following a TRIS assessment, Sweden, Lithuania, the Netherlands, and Czechia also opposed the ban, citing risks to market unity if cultured meat is later approved.
The Netherlands further argued that cultured meat could benefit farmers, offering a future-proof alternative for the agricultural sector. Hungary can now revise its draft ban in response to these comments.
Vilsack Calls For Congress To Act On Farm Bill
Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack is urging Congress to pass the overdue Farm Bill. “We need a Farm Bill now,” he emphasized in a call with American Farmland Trust, noting limited time left this fall for a bipartisan solution or at least an extension of the current bill.
Though hopeful for a five-year bill by year-end, Vilsack warns delays could disrupt 2025 farm financing. The 2018 Farm Bill, temporarily extended, expired on Sept. 30, putting pressure on Congress to act before the November elections.
NCBA Criticizes Dietary Guidelines Recommendations
The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) criticized the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee's recent push to replace high-quality proteins like beef with plant-based options. NCBA’s Ethan Lane called the suggestions "out-of-touch" and “dangerous,” pointing out that beans and lentils can't fully replace the nutrients beef provides.
Dr. Shalene McNeill, NCBA’s Executive Director of Nutrition Science, emphasized that while beef makes up only 5% of calories in the American diet, it supplies over 5% of essential nutrients like iron, B12, and protein. These recommendations, part of the 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines process, will be reviewed by USDA and HHS.
Arkansas Beef Council Names Best Burger
The Arkansas Beef Council announced Bailey’s Family Restaurant in Cave City as the winner of the inaugural Arkansas’s Best Burger Contest with their Caveman Burger. Selected from over 2,400 nominations across 410+ burgers, the contest’s top ten burgers — two from each of the state’s five regions — were judged on taste, appearance, cooking, and overall impression by an anonymous panel.
The Caveman Burger stands out with a massive two-pound beef patty on a nine-inch bun, available as a double with optional cheese or bacon. Arkansas Secretary of Agriculture Wes Ward noted that the contest highlighted Arkansans' love for quality beef and local restaurants. The Arkansas Beef Council continues to support beef’s image and Arkansas's cattle industry through promotional and research efforts.

Hot Feeder Cattle Prices & McDonald’s The Quarter Pounder Is Back
Feeder Cattle Selling Well Across The Country
It has been a busy fall for selling feeder cattle and prices are HOT! Check out these reports from Kist Livestock in Mandan, North Dakota and Torrington Livestock in Torrington, Wyoming!
McDonald’s Quarter Pounder Is Back
McDonald’s is bringing back Quarter Pounders to about 900 stores across several states where the burger was blamed in an outbreak of E. coli — but holding the onions that public health authorities suspect as the source of the illness.
The nationwide toll in the outbreak is now at least 75 people sickened in 13 states, including 22 hospitalizations and one death in Colorado, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). At least 26 people were reported ill with suspected E. coli in Colorado, 13 in Montana, and 11 in Nebraska, with the rest across New Mexico, Utah, Missouri, Wyoming, Michigan, Iowa, Kansas, Oregon, Wisconsin and Washington state. Some travelers’ exposure may have occurred in a different state than where the case was tallied.
