NCBA Backs Cattle Health Provisions in Senate “Big Beautiful Bill”

the U.S. Senate Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry released legislative text for the Senate’s version of the “one big beautiful bill.” In response to the text, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) announced support for the cattle health measures in the legislation, which help protect the livelihoods of family farmers and ranchers.

“A successful farm or ranch starts with healthy cattle and as cattle producers face increasing risk of a foreign animal disease outbreak, the need for robust cattle health provisions is even more crucial,” said NCBA Executive Director of Government Affairs Tanner Beymer.

The year 2015 was just before a national election – which have major influences on policy paths, administration goals, and how farmers feel about their future.
