Social Media: Tweet - "Thanks to @SenJohnHoeven & @SenatorLujan for supporting my bill on mandatory country of origin labeling for beef. Consumers deserve transparency about where their beef comes from, and American ranchers should get credit for raising the best beef in the world. #MCOOL"

Social Media: Tweet - "The current beef labeling system in this country allows imported beef that is neither born nor raised in the U.S., but simply finished here, to be labeled as a product of the U.S.A. This process is unfair to cattle producers and misleading for consumers."
Social Media: Tweet - "Transparency in beef labeling benefits both our producers and consumers & it is just common sense. Thanks to @SenatorTester, @SenatorRounds, & @SenBooker for joining me in this fight."
09/17/2021
Social Media: Tweet - "Going once, going twice… Had a good discussion at the Herreid Livestock Auction. South Dakota cattle producers raise the best beef in the world. I'm fighting to get them answers on potential market manipulation by the meatpackers. Producers deserve a fair & transparent market."
