Two legislative proposals with two very different solutions have the same goal of fixing the cattle market but a pair of cattle groups disagree which is the best fix.
R-CALF CEO Bill Bullard says the Cattle Price Discovery and Transparency Act from Senators Deb Fischer and Chuck Grassley doesn’t’ address the cash market and allowing independent producers to gain access to the market. “That is a minimalist approach, and it would do little to nothing to improve the current challenges that cattle producers face.”
Bullard says it should be rejected outright.
