U.S. Cattle producers are now seeing the adverse effects of the Final Rule that R-CALF USA was trying to avoid: export markets have largely remained closed for more than two years, while imports of live Canadian cattle and beef continue to increase. This is depressing U.S. Prices because many U.S. Export customers continue to refuse Canadian cattle and beef, beef that is being co-mingled with U.S. Beef but not marked as such.
