Wyoming Rancher Discusses Trump’s Imported Beef

A Wyoming cattle rancher has a few things to say about high beef prices and Trump's plan to import from Argentina. She posted a video diving deeper into the role of the "Big Four" meatpackers, the growing volume of imported beef, and why Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (MCOOL) remains a big issue for consumers and producers.

Watch this Wyoming rancher's video below.

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration is quadrupling the country's low-tariff imports of Argentine beef in his attempt to lower grocery store beef prices, a White House official said, evoking fury from the nation's cattle ranchers.

Trump's plan is to reduce beef prices at the grocery store. Raising the tariff rate quota on Argentine beef to 80,000 metric tons, the president says, will let the country ship more of its beef to the U.S. at a lower rate of duty. U.S. beef prices have set records due to tight cattle supplies and strong consumer demand.
