There nothing more American than sending our @CertAngusBeef direct from Hadrick Ranch to Washington DC to be used for an #america250 celebration on Independence Day! #productoftheusa

This is a uite possibly the dumbest account on this platform. If you as a producer hedged your risk and the market dropped then it worked perfectly. Besides that, this actually never happened.
North Dakota Stockmen's Association is calling for a CME investigation after live cattle futures crashed $30/cwt.
Here's why.
The crash hit in late May. Fund selling, an NWS disease case, and terrible technicals triggered a bloodbath for hedged producers.
CME's response? Investigate the manipulation?
No. They widened price limits and lowered margins effective June 1.
Wider limits mean bigger daily swings. Lower margins mean more speculators piling in with less skin in the game.
The exchange didn't protect ranchers. It changed the rules to make the next crash easier.
You hedge to manage risk. Then they move the goalposts after you're already in the trade.

It was truly a privilege to have all of these great people celebrate our @CertAngusBeef Ranch to Table weekend. It’s not everyday that you enjoy your own home-raised beef with the Senate Majority Leader, three Under-Secretaries and the Governor.
Product of the USA means something 🇺🇸 In South Dakota, U/S Lindberg visited Hadrick ranch where products are born, raised, harvested, and processed in America—giving consumers confidence and helping producers earn recognition for the quality they deliver every day #ProductofUSA

This is so dumb. You can absolutely sell beef direct to consumers. I ship beef all over the United States every month. Consumers have the choice to buy direct or not & ranchers have the choice to sell direct or send their cattle into the traditional system.

🚨 BREAKING: Thomas Massie just admitted it on camera: “RFK wanted me to be Secretary of Agriculture.”
He wanted to allow small farmers to sell directly to consumers to END the meat monopoly.
RFK wouldn't have it.

Does that last at bat by Royce Lewis send him to St Paul? The poor guy is lost.

Made a quick update to the website. All of the beef we sell is born on our ranch near Faulkton, SD. We feed them out here and have them processed at a very small family-owned USDA plant that just down the road. Shipped free to your doorstep! #ProductofUSA

Looks fair to me. Knowing the rules of the game helps.

Home plate umpire Dan Merzel called the ball fair, giving Matt Shaw a single despite it appearing clearly foul
