As People Read the Rule, Different Views of What It Says Emerge

As People Read the Rule, Different Views of What It Says Emerge


As people read the proposed GIPSA Rule, they come up with different views of how this will impact the beef cattle business. On one side, you have people like Jerry Bohn of Pratt Feeders, who sees the fear of litigation driving beef processors into not offering more than one price daily- then sorting for quality in their facility and capturing any added value for themselves.


Allen Sents, who along with his wife owns a cattle feedlot near Marquette, Kansas strongly disagrees. He says "I can think of nothing more unreasonable" than to expect packers to stop buying cattle based on the value they have in their carcass. He dismisses the requirement of the rule that packers will have to have documentation of why they pay more for one set of cattle versus another as something they already have and will be able to produce without fear of litigation.


We invite you to read the rule yourself- click here for the actual rule proposed by USDA back in June- then you can comment on the rule between now and November 22.


We hear from both Bohn and Sents on this Beef Buzz.


The Beef Buzz is a regular feature heard on radio stations around the state on the Radio Oklahoma Network- but is also a regular audio feature found on this website as well. Check out our archives for older Beef Buzz shows covering the gamut of the beef cattle industry today. Just click on the Beef Buzz button found on the left hand side of any page on this website.
