R-CALF USA represents the U.S. cattle and sheep industries in trade and marketing issues to ensure the continued profitability and viability of independent U.S. cattle and sheep producers. It is the largest producer-only organization fighting to bring back mandatory country of origin labeling for beef, to stop anticompetitive and unjust practices by the four largest packers, to prevent high-risk imports from countries with disease outbreaks, to allow U.S. cattle producers to promote their USA beef within the beef checkoff program and make the checkoff voluntary, and to seek tariffs to save the U.S. sheep industry from price-depressing imports.
R-CALF USA is set apart from all other national cattle associations because it relies solely on membership dues and donations to carry out its mission to ensure the continued profitability and independence of United States cattle and sheep producers. It exists only because of support from its members. R-CALF USA encourages producers to get involved and make their collective voice heard.
