The R-CALF USA Round Up

The USDA’s electronic eartag mandate has been a red hot topic the past year. And like years past, we at R-CALF USA are fighting back each and every day to put a halt to it. Right now we are pushing back in Congress and in the courts. In October we filed another lawsuit to stop this issue once and for all, so we sat down with our attorney on this case, Kara Rollins, to give you all the details on this important issue.    This episode is sponsored by Tri State Livestock News and Pitchfork Supply.   Show Notes: https://nclalegal.org/case/ranchers-cattlemen-action-legal-fund-united-stockgrowers-of-america-et-al-v-u-s-department-of-agriculture-secretary-thomas-vilsack-animal-and-plant-health-inspection-service-administrator-micha/

The Corporate Transparency Act was passed into law under most people’s radar, and many, including R-CALF USA, have raised concerns about its impact on small business owners and rural America. On today’s episode, we sat down with Phillip Taylor and Bobby Clayson to discuss our joint lawsuit fighting back to stop the Corporate Transparency Act from being forced down the throats of all Americans and threatening the existence of small producers and small businesses.    This episode is sponsored by Risk Associates and Ag West Feeds.
