It’s been 2 weeks since USDA put out a plan to fortify the beef industry and strengthen ranching and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association has not had any response. What exactly do they do there? National Cattlemen's Beef Association

Undercover at CattleCon: Ranchers & Insiders Expose How Tyson, JBS, Cargill, & National Beef Secretly Control America's Beef Market. The OMG team did a deep dive, going undercover at CattleCon 2026 in Nashville, Tennessee. We spoke with beef industry insiders and ranchers about the top four companies, Tyson, JBS, Cargill, and National Beef, which dominate U.S. beef processing. These four companies process the majority of U.S. beef. Over time, dozens of smaller processors merged into four major companies now known as the “Big Four.” “They [Big Four] are buying like all the companies in the United States… so they don’t have competition.” “They [Big Four] can knock you out of this industry in two seconds.” “They [Big Four] closed all the markets — all the markets are theirs in Brazil and now in the U.S.” In November 2025, President Trump tweeted that cattle prices were falling while boxed beef prices kept rising, calling it “fishy.” With the Department of Justice urging action over possible price manipulation by major meatpackers, we decided to investigate and do something about it. Our team spoke directly with ranchers and industry partners, documenting firsthand how the “Big Four” dominate the market and impact pricing. As beef prices climb, many cattle producers say they have little influence over the prices they receive, raising questions about how costs are set from the ranch to the store shelf. The Department of Justice has looked into whether the biggest beef companies have too much control over the industry and whether they worked together to raise prices. The “Big Four” companies deny any wrongdoing, insisting that prices are driven solely by supply and demand. Tyson, JBS, Cargill, and National Beef control most of the U.S. beef industry, raising serious questions about who really sets the price. So when you see higher prices at the grocery store, it’s worth asking why. This may explain why your steak keeps costing more.

THE BEEF DEBATE IS MISSING THE POINT. Trump’s 90-day beef plan isn’t supposed to solve America’s cattle crisis. It’s a bridge. And yes—American cattlemen have a legitimate concern: cheaper imports can pressure cattle prices and potentially weaken incentives to rebuild the herd. That deserves to be heard. But so does this: CATTLE AREN’T WIDGETS. Rebuilding the herd requires ✔️retaining heifers ✔️breeding ✔️gestation ✔️calving ✔️raising and ✔️Finishing the next generation. That takes YEARS—not weeks. Meanwhile, American families are paying painful hamburger prices TODAY. Trump’s objective: 1) SHORT-TERM consumer relief. 2) LONG-TERM American cattle recovery. Reasonable people can debate whether this 90-day policy gets the balance exactly right. Some are raising sincere economic concerns. Others smelled an outrage cycle, saw the algorithm rewarding attacks, and jumped aboard. Clicks aren’t policy. Outrage isn’t analysis. And a viral post isn’t a cattle herd. Trump’s plan doesn’t replace the American rancher. 1) It's intended to give consumers some short-term breathing room 2) While American cattlemen undertake the multi-year work of rebuilding what only time can rebuild. Protect the rancher. Help the consumer. Rebuild American beef. Can we do all three? I know we can. Believe it. For the Republic! Cheers.
