President Trump signed two Executive Orders aimed at supporting American ranchers and rebuilding the Great American Cattle Herd. These orders focus on combating predation to protect livestock and establishing country of origin labeling to provide transparency for consumers. The administration announced four additional actions to follow up on the 2025 USDA Beef Plan and the Ranchers First Initiative. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke L. Rollins stated that the administration is focusing on rebuilding the cattle herd, which has been at its smallest size since the 1950s. The administration announced a new webpage highlighting its status as a pro-rancher administration. Secretary Rollins noted that the administration is working to increase the nation's heifer retention rate while maintaining food safety standards. The actions also include strengthening packer competition and expanding processing and market access for American meat producers to ensure ranchers have more options to get cattle to market.
