To: Everyone
From: Bill Bullard, CEO, R-CALF USA
Date: August 5, 2026
Subject: Senate Farm Bill MCOOL Action Alert
Background: The Senate Agriculture Committee is expected to begin marking up the Farm Bill on Thurs., Aug. 6. Please call both of your U.S. Senators and urge them to support including mandatory country of origin labeling (MCOOL) for beef in the Senate Farm Bill.
Action: Call your Senators’ offices through the U.S. Capitol Switchboard at 202‑224‑3121 and ask to be connected by name. If you don’t reach a staff member, leaving a voicemail is perfectly fine – your message will still be counted.
Our message should be simple:
“Please vote ‘Yes’ to include mandatory country of origin labeling (MCOOL) for beef in the Senate Farm Bill.”
Thank you for taking action and helping us build support for mandatory country of origin labeling for beef!
