Cattle farming group urges Country of Origin Labeling
Montgomery Advertiser
R-Calf USA, an organization for cow-calf producers, wants Country of Origin Labeling on beef at supermarkets.
R-CALF USA held its first Alabama meeting recently in Coosa County that drew more than 125 Alabama cattle producers.
The organization also wants the USDA and Congress to stop the country’s big four meat packers — Tyson Fresh Meats, Inc., Cargill Meat Solutions, Excel Corporation and Swift’s Company — from using captive beef supplies to control beef prices at the producer’s level.
R-Calf USA will have four more meetings in Alabama in the coming months. Contact James (Pete) Rodgers at (256) 245-2689.
