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.

We need antitrust investigations NOW to break up this beef cartel. Beef at the store is $10 a pound while live cattle prices are crashing. That’s not an accident. It’s market manipulation by the Big Four multinational packers who control 85% of the beef processing in America. They’re squeezing ranchers out while jacking up prices for you. President Trump is already fighting foreign dumpers to help our producers. In Congress, I’ll take on the corporate cartel and the bureaucrats keeping prices high and ranchers down.

NEW: Beef prices are at record highs this year — yet in small farm towns like Fallon, Nevada, family ranchers are going broke. Why? Four meatpacking companies control 85% of U.S. beef. Two of those companies are foreign owned. They set the prices, and the American rancher gets cut out. Watch in this Frontlines TPUSA exclusive as @VickyRichterUSA and 6’7 Kevin go directly to the source. Talking to ranchers, wholesalers, and the folks at the local grocery store. Same story from every side of the counter. And while family ranches struggle as foreign corporations and big ag take control, the American rancher rises again. Ranchers wake up before sunrise, raise the cattle that feed the country, and often say they don’t do it for the money — yet too many are left wondering if they can hold on. "We don't do it for money . . . if we did, we'd be in a different business." Turning Point USA

Farmers, ranchers and cattle producers are opposing President Trump’s plan to buy more beef from Argentina, which he says could help offset the soaring prices of the meat in the U.S. Beef and veal prices have jumped nearly 14% over the past year. But many cattle ranchers and farmers' groups are concerned that this move will come at their loss. Geoff Bennett has more.

Beef prices have skyrocketed since the 1970s. What changed? We went from thousands of local, independent processors down to 4, and the Big Four no longer compete against each other. They also rigged prices against the ranchers who raise cattle, driving many small ranches out of business. The Beef Monopoly is why your beef prices are high. I'm running for Ag Commissioner to start breaking them up.

The meat market has been flipped on its head in just a matter of decades. Power has shifted from ranchers to a monopolized meatpacking system. “90% of cattle raised in the US come from small to medium-sized independent producers, but we only have half as many American cattle ranchers today as we had in the 1980s.” “And while that number has shrunk, the meatpacking industry has consolidated.” “Just 4 major packers dominate the market: JBS, National Beef, Cargill, and Tyson.” “So in 1980, the cattle producers received 63 cents of every consumer beef dollar and the meatpackers and retailers had to share 37 cents.” “Jump to 2021. That allocation of the consumer beef dollar has been completely flipped on its head because the marketplace is fundamentally broken.” More Perfect Union

Tyson plant just shut down. And no — this isn’t about “efficiency.” This is the playbook. Close regional plants. Create an artificial bottleneck. Crash cattle prices for ranchers. Raise beef prices for families. Same movie. Different town. Four corporations control ~85% of U.S. beef processing. That’s not capitalism — that’s a chokehold. When one company can flip a switch and wreck rural America while charging you more at the store, that’s not business. That’s a national security issue. This is exactly why we’re building the American Rancher Alliance. Transparent. Regional. American-owned beef — without the middlemen. Mess with the bull. You get the horns. 🦬🇺🇸 👉 Grocers, ranchers, restaurants:

Today, just four companies — JBS, Cargill, Tyson Foods, and National Beef — control roughly 85% of the cattle processing market. That level of concentration has surged from just 25% in 1977 to 71% by 1992, and now to an astonishing 85%. Together, these companies operate through dozens of subsidiary businesses, creating a landscape that leaves many of our cattle producers with limited marketing options. For some ranchers this means less marketing opportunities, complicating an already challenging marketplace. We must work to address this to protect our ranchers and consumers. President Donald J. Trump and this administration are focused on promoting fairness and competition — ensuring our producers have options and a level playing field. 🇺🇸🥩

American Rancher shares HUGE threats to our National Security ‌ - JBS and National Beef are 2 of the largest beef producers here in the US, they are owned by Brazil - Brazil also owns Cargill's Pork Production, which is the second largest pork producer here in the US (Cargill sold its US pork assets to JBS USA, a subsidiary of JBS S.A., a Brazilian company) - America’s largest pork processor and hog producer Smithfield Foods is owned by China. Smithfield Foods is 100% owned by WH Group Limited, a Chinese multinational company based in Hong Kong - Only 4 meat packers control 85% of the American market, JBS and National Beef (Both owned by Brazil) along with Tyson and Cargill. This means roughly 50% of the American meat distribution is owned by Brazil “Very alarming and very alarming to the US public. Let me know what you guys think about this in the comments”

Global packers claim we need more beef imports because America can’t produce enough. But the facts say otherwise: - The U.S. beef cow herd is the smallest it’s been in 70 years. - Beef demand and consumption are up. - Ranchers and consumers are paying record prices. - Imports now make up more than 20% of domestic consumption — double what they were 40 years ago. Imports aren’t “filling a gap.” They’re replacing what American ranchers used to raise here at home. It’s time to protect the U.S. market, rebuild our herd, and restore truth in labeling. 🎥 Weekly Address: Why Is the Herd Shrinking Amid Record Beef Prices? #LabelOurBeef #USAbeef #MCOOLintheFarmBill

🚨“President Trump’s plan to buy beef from Argentina is a betrayal of the American rancher.” Washington bureaucrats are on the brink of delivering a crushing betrayal of our farmers—and the America First agenda. America’s soybean market just CRASHED after China stopped buying our soybeans. Now, our cattle ranchers are on the brink of the same fate. Illinois cattle rancher and Farm Action’s Senior Director of Programs Christian Lovell warned that a new plan to buy Argentinian beef would amount to a “betrayal” of loyal America First ranchers—and would fail to solve any of our problems: “Importing Argentinian beef would send U.S. cattle prices plummeting—and with the meatpacking industry as consolidated as it is, consumers may not see lower beef prices either.” Just four major meatpackers control roughly 85% of our market. The system is RIGGED, and importing beef from Argentina into this rigged system will not lower costs for families or restore fair markets for producers. This announcement comes right after Argentina took hold of the soybean market after China stopped buying from American farmers. And what is Washington doing? Considering another $20 billion BAILOUT for Argentina. Read our full press release revealing why this proposal is a BETRAYAL of America’s ranchers below:🧵 Clip credit: Aaron Rupar

🚩 Regenerative Rancher Josh Baker on Corporations Taking Over the Farming & Cattle Industry "A lot of cattlemen are stuck in their ways. Big Pharma taught us to give these antibiotics and give these shots and give these vaccines. We don't have to. Science got applied too heavily...There's only four major companies that own all of our beef production in the United States...It's sad."

ICYMI: More than 2,500 workers in Joslin, Illinois were laid off this week with no notice after Tyson Foods announced the closure of the beef plant there. Thousands of workers and their families have lost their livelihood because of a decision made in a corporate boardroom. Beef prices are rising in stores, and Tyson is still raking in huge profits. Tyson just reported a profit of $182 million over the past three months. Last year, the CEO of Tyson was made $34.5 million, almost 800 times the average pay of a Tyson employee. Corporate consolidation means that Tyson plants process 20% of the beef, pork, and poultry sold in the US. In addition to corporate price gouging, a shortage of cattle is also driving up US beef prices. Cattle supplies in the US have fallen in part because of drought caused by climate change and grazing land loss caused by ranching practices. These layoffs, high prices, and environmental issues are all because the food system under capitalism prioritizes profits over the needs of people or the planet.

Undercover footage from James O'Keefe at Cattle Con. Scott Krusemark of JDR Farms, on camera, says the Big Four beef packers don't need to price fix. They just don't bid against each other. JBS, Tyson, Cargill, Marfrig/National. Four companies. Most of the kill capacity in America. An open secret, he says, inside the industry. Here's the trap ranchers are caught in: cattle hit weight, feed bills keep running, and you have to sell. There's no waiting for a better offer. There is no better offer. Not when the buyers are coordinated. Krusemark knows which side of that equation he's on. On the same tape, he mentions his Rolex — says he loves that he can afford to get it fixed when it breaks. He's doing fine with the deal. The ranchers selling into a rigged market aren't. He said it himself: it's illegal. The DOJ needs to act. So the only question is whether they will… Fat chance since the Trump admin just canned the only trust buster willing to do the job. Gail Slater Texas Slim™

Small ranchers didn’t disappear. They were removed. In 1980, the U.S. had over 6 million cattle operations. Today? Barely 700,000. That’s not a lifestyle change. That’s a wipeout. The top four meatpackers went from controlling about 25% of the market to over 80%. Thousands of local processors closed. If you can’t get a kill slot, you don’t have a business. Feed costs up 60–100%. Fuel up 50%+. Interest rates tripled. Price paid to the rancher? Adjusted for inflation — down. Meanwhile, grocery prices rose 25%+ in just four years. Ranchers didn’t get rich. They got boxed out — of processing, pricing, and access. That’s not the free market. That’s consolidation.

Farm Action’s Joe Maxwell just went to Washington and sounded the alarm: America’s ranchers are in “CRISIS.” “We cannot afford a food supply where foreign beef fills the gap while American ranchers go out of business.” And he named the first step that the Trump Administration can take to reverse this crisis: “Reinstating Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling for beef and pork must be a top U.S. priority in the 2026 USMCA review.” “This is urgent regarding our food security, the survival of independent ranchers, and the long-term stability of North America’s beef supply.” “USDA reports that the U.S. beef cow herd has fallen to its smallest level in over 70 years.” “Ranchers tell us the same thing across the country. They cannot justify rebuilding their herds because the market does not reward U.S. origin.” “Tyson just closed a beef plant in Lexington, Nebraska, and is scaling back a plant in Amarillo, Texas.” “These moves impact 4,900 jobs.” “At the same time, beef imports are rising to record levels, over 4.5 million pounds last year.” “That combination—a shrinking domestic herd and rising imports—is a dangerous trajectory for America’s food security and rural economy.” “Reinstating MCOOL would give ranchers the most important thing they lack today: a reliable and forceful market signal that U.S.-raised beef will be recognized and rewarded.” “Reinstating MCOOL would allow consumers to choose U.S.-raised beef and ensure that choice benefits U.S. ranchers, give producers the confidence to reinvest in multi-year herd expansion, strengthen rural economies by keeping food dollars local, and build a more resilient domestic supply.” “The United States cannot afford a cattle industry at its smallest level in 70 years.” “MCOOL is essential for rebuilding the herd, restoring fairness, and protecting our food security.”

President Trump says the United States will buy Beef from Argentina to help stabilize Beef Prices in America and help Argentina “Fight for their Life” — American Cattle Ranches, like Merryweather Farms, feel like this is a Betrayal How do you feel about it? 🔻My Thoughts: He seems very adamant on the issue, and it’s important to know that none of us know exactly all of the details. Having lower prices in beef I don’t think many will complain about, but not at the expense of our own cattle ranchers. Our country must always come first. There are a lot of American cattle ranchers dissatisfied with this decision… and it sounds like, based on this post, the head of agriculture in the Trump admin is not communicating well enough with our own ranchers.

For decades, four corporations controlled the beef market. They crushed ranchers. Closed processors. Raised prices on families. So we stopped asking permission. We built our own supply chain. The American Rancher Alliance is a producer-owned network of ranchers, processors, and retailers moving beef the way it should’ve always been done: Local. American owned. Transparent. And now it’s real. Cattle are scheduled. Processors are online. Beef starts shipping at the end of February. This is the ground floor. If your company wants to stand with the people who actually feed this country… Become a Founding Sponsor. Help rebuild the American food system from the dirt up. You can watch history… or help make it. #AmericanRancherAlliance #FoodSecurity #SupportLocalRanchers #KnowYourFarmer #TakeBackOurFood
