NCBA Members Pass Policy At Summer Business Meeting

NCBA members, including several from Kansas, gathered in San Diego, CA, this week for the Cattle Industry Summer Business Meeting to discuss issues facing their businesses, such as risk management, taxes and business regulation. The new policies passed direct the association to improve disaster relief and risk management programs, advocate for a reduced capital gains tax, and oppose burdensome business registration and reporting requirements like the Corporate Transparency Act. Several existing policies also were renewed or amended.

“The policies passed at the Summer Business Meeting will direct our association’s advocacy efforts in Washington to strengthen our industry’s profitability, reduce crippling government regulation and safeguard our way of life for the future,” said NCBA President and Wyoming rancher Mark Eisele. 

Members also discussed the implementation of USDA’s new animal disease traceability rule. The new rule updates a regulation that has been in place since 2013 requiring intact cattle 18 months of age or older, rodeo and exhibition cattle, and dairy cattle moving interstate to have a visually readable ear tag.
