Minnesota Cattlemen insulted by Tariff-Free Beef Imports 

The Minnesota Cattlemen’s Association is pushing back against the Trump Administration after they made the decision to import foreign beef on a tariff-free basis, as a way to drive beef prices down. Minnesota State Cattlemen’s Association President Jake Thompson says the decision to this is disappointing for domestic cattle producers. 

Thompson says moves like this makes it so people don’t want to go into the beef sector, despite it being a time where the US herd size is low.  

Thompson says another thing that has to be considered in the quality of foreign beef, which does not compare to domestic beef.
