NCBA Secures Wins for Cattle Farmers and Ranchers in the One Big Beautiful Bill

Jul 09, 2025

Following President Donald J. Trump’s signing of the One Big Beautiful Bill into law, the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) today highlighted key provisions in the bill that deliver wins for America’s family farmers and ranchers.

“Since day one, NCBA has been working with Congress to make sure the One Big Beautiful Bill includes policy priorities for America’s hardworking family farmers and ranchers,” said NCBA President Buck Wehrbein, a Nebraska cattleman. “I’m proud that this legislation protects farms and ranches from being split up and sold off to pay a high Death Tax bill. I’m also glad the One Big Beautiful Bill protects pro-business tax deductions for cattle producers, lowers our taxes overall, and funds programs like the Livestock Forage Disaster Program, Livestock Indemnity Program, voluntary conservation programs, and invests in keeping foreign animal diseases out of the United States.”

All of NCBA’s tax priorities are included in the One Big Beautiful Bill along with numerous Farm Bill provisions.

Video: Sorting Ewes & Rams | Breeding Time On The Farm!

In this episode, we’re sorting ewes into their breeding groups and introducing them to unrelated rams. Moving rams between barns always comes with challenges, but once the boys meet their ewes, everyone was eager to settle in!

We also welcome back a returning customer who purchased a Suffolk ram from us last year. This season, she chose a Dorset cross ram, now named Benny, to strengthen her flock’s genetics. It’s always rewarding to see repeat customers who value the quality of our breeding stock.

Arnie then tours the crop fields as harvest season approaches. Despite drought conditions this summer, the crops are looking surprisingly good. We close the day with evening feedings and one last look at the rams with their new breeding groups.
