News in the Legislature

The Beef Cattle industry is facing its own set of challenges today.  The COVID-19 pandemic has placed a huge strain on the cattle market and the ability to keep the supply chain running at full capacity.  We applaud the tremendous amount of work being done in Washington by the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association.  The South Carolina Cattlemen’s Association along with other affiliate organizations continues to monitor key components that could impact our cattle producers.  We are living with a very fluid situation and the responsibility for us to look after your best interest has not been taken lightly. In late March, the North Carolina and South Carolina Cattlemen’s Associations signed a letter with NCBA to Secretary Sonny Perdue. The letter urged him to “take immediate action to provide much needed relief to cattle producers who have been negatively impacted due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic”.
