WASHINGTON, DC

The CPAC Ranchers Coalition met with USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins to discuss the challenges facing American cattle producers and advocate for policy reforms that would help level the playing field against foreign competition. With U.S. cattle inventories at their lowest point since 1951 and beef imports exceeding 4.6 billion pounds annually, the coalition emphasized the need for administrative action to protect family ranchers and strengthen the domestic beef industry.
The meeting focused on regulatory reform, import enforcement, and restoring fairness for American producers. Coalition members argued that existing legal authorities could be used to improve food safety, enhance competition, and strengthen the resilience of the nation's beef supply chain.
