I just keep thinking about the fella who kept posting pictures of his sick cow & folks kept reposting them & then everyone was surprised when the cow died
Trumpet even had the guys in Chicago fooled this week
I’m kinda surprised their wasn’t a memorial fund 4 the cow
Seriously, how? Please explain. This is the weirdest gaslighting of all time. Are the markets going limit up Monday? I doubt it. An announcement that would actually be positive for ranchers would cause that reaction in the markets. This is pure hot air and I’m sick of it.

This was very difficult to read this morning from President Trump. Frustrated and disappointed is an understatement.
I will be with the administration next week to ask questions more directly and will report back my findings.
Chris Earl will be joining me on an episode of the “Heart of Rural America” this weekend to unpack this.
If you missed our conversation released last night, you can tune in here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas…
For now, let me be clear on a few things that Washington DC needs to hear from cattle country…
- American cattle ranchers want free and fair markets; however, we exist in a monopolized, consolidated, corporatized system that doesn’t favor the producer. Yet, we continue to fight for what’s right and stand for the truth because WE ARE NOT SERFS.
- American voters want AMERICA FIRST policies that ensure our nation is free and fed. Food security is national security. Period. That means the USA needs to be NUMBER ONE in food production, not opening up the door for our adversaries to lead in agriculture while we rely on foreign countries to feed us.
- American consumers LOVE BEEF. We are at a 40-year demand for USA BEEF. They deserve transparency and truth in labeling. They deserve consumer choice. Price fixing isn’t the solution. Beef can be purchased at any price point. A $6 lb. of ground beef can provide a family of four with 25 grams of protein in a serving. It’s a nutritional powerhouse that has immense value, but producers don’t work for free.
- The U.S. rancher can and will rise to the occasion of the growing demand for beef, but that requires confidence to invest and rebuild the cow herd. This is a challenge if we are continually getting kicked in the teeth by the government, creating volatility and uncertainty at a time when it should be full steam ahead for producers.
Would love to hear your thoughts. Comment below.
And thanks for choosing USA BEEF! 🥩 🇺🇸
God bless,

My take with this painting is a bit different some. This, to me, depicts in one event, the moment 2/3 of our American population detached from the natural world. The boy may come 'home' from the big city once in a while to visit. His kids will barely know grandad's name and think the ranch is gross. The great grandkids will be vegetarians. Great great grandkids will be animal rights activists unable to tell alfalfa from a plastic fern.
This is one of the most beloved paintings in America, and it puts its finger on something we all pass through, first as the child, and one day as the parent left behind...
The painting is Breaking Home Ties, by Norman Rockwell, on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post in 1954. A father and his teenage son sit side by side on the running board of a battered farm truck, waiting at a railway stop. A single track runs along the bottom of the picture. A ticket pokes from the boy's pocket. His suitcase is stacked with schoolbooks and wears a "State U" pennant. The train is coming to carry him off to college, away from home, for the first time in his life.
Everything is in the way they sit.
The son sits upright, scrubbed and dressed in his best, eyes fixed on the horizon, on the track, on the future rushing toward him. He is already half gone. For him that train is the beginning of everything.
His father sits beside him in worn work clothes and scuffed boots, looking the other way, down the line, as if he cannot bear to watch it arrive. The same train means the opposite thing to him. For the son it is the start of a life. For the father it is the day the house grows quieter, the chair at the table sits empty, and the person he built his world around walks out into a life that no longer has him at its centre.
Look at his hands. He is holding two hats. His own battered one, and resting on top of it, his son's crisp new one, held carefully together, because it is the last small thing he can still do for the boy...
And then the dog, its head laid in the son's lap, gazing up, refusing to look away. Rockwell knew exactly what that was for: "The father couldn't show how he felt about the boy's leaving," he said. "The dog did."
It has moved people for 70 years because every leaving is a beginning for one person and an ending for another. The child steps out into the world, as they should. And someone stays behind, watching them go, and loving them enough to let them go anyway...

The production cost for a Mexican beef rancher is about 7% of what the same pound of beef costs an American rancher, and that Mexican rancher's beef is right next to mine on the retail shelf. We have lost a million American family ranches in 4 decades. Love to hear your ideas for keeping the rest. @americaunwon @yearlins @LonesomeLands @BeefMaps
If they are unwilling to stand and defend their stance on this by turning off comments, they either lack moral character or they know their stance is indefensible when held up to intellectual scrutiny.
Amen! We need to stop electing members of the nd Freemason pedophile club.

@RepFedorchak what is going on? The vast majority of your constituents are heavily in favor of mass deportations, yet you’re in favor of granting citizenship to illegals?
At this point you can legitimately bet big money that a ND rep or senator has voted for or is in support of the most absurd bills out there. Every. Single. Time. Embarrassing yet again.
I feel that ND is in the running for the worst representation in the nation. We keep getting played but nothing changes.

Paging @trentloos . You need to invite @kenzyranch on your radio show. It makes sense.If you don’t,I think you expose yourself as a fraud unwilling to have real discussions.Brett is respectful and intelligent and has understanding of trade that you only recently are interested in
1. Leave the border closed until NWS is pushed back below the Darien Gap.
2. Prove or disprove that cattle from Central and South America are being smuggled into Mexico with falsified documents.
3. If that conduct is proven it should immediately trigger trade ramifications on processed beef imports from MX.
Historically we have been told MX live cattle imports did not occur at a level that would influence American Live and Feeder Cattle prices. Conversely today some tell us we’re all going to die of starvation if we don’t open the border now.
This is a great chance to decide:
1. If borders matter.
2. If trade matters.
3. If domestic food security matters.
4. If MX is a trustworthy trade partner at all.
I’m real sorry for the cattle feeders that have relied on MX cattle but also feel that free trade gave them the sweetest deal ever, cheap inputs laundered into the greatest consuming country in the world- and that came at a risk.
American cattle are still available to feed. We all wish we could buy them cheaper. If they open the border I will buy cattle cheaper in the northern plains. Perhaps it is time we all start doing what is right vs what is easy.
With the lapse of USMCA I hope trade agreements will again become negotiated and bilateral with full disclosure of the source of the products. Different countries have different standards and consumers should have the right to choose, especially the American taxpayer WHO PAYS FOR THE WHOLE SHOW.
Last, consider for a moment that NWS might be a dress rehearsal for worse threats if we can’t get our house in order.
If you read all this you are bored, lonely or confused.

Someone saintly once said, at the Final Judgment, everyone will be surprised. The sinners because they receive mercy. And the righteous because they are condemned.

The Bible is full of people having to wait on God's promises. Abraham waited decades for a son. Joseph endured years of injustice before walking into his destiny. David was anointed king long before he wore the crown. Hannah wept in a barren season before she held her miracle. Not one of them enjoyed the delay, but every one of them saw the fulfillment of God's promise. The waiting was not wasted. It was preparation.

Not to mention the bloody room found in Dunseith & the missing former owner who left his belongings behind…and the murder of MSgt Nicholas Van Pelt/attempted murder of Jenni Babcock by NSA officer Brejio. The state of ND is working hard to cover those up & zero “media” coverage
😂 probably true too! The pedo republican “leadership” in ND has definitely had people killed.
List of outfits that had me wacked, if I end up that way..I’m not suicidal.
1. Farm Credit
2. Watts and Associates
3. Church of Latter-day Saints
