RFD-TV’s Janet Adkison reports that the cattle industry could see loses as big as $13.6 billion dollars.
A study done by the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association estimated losses per head of cow calf at $120 dollars, for stocker cattle $160 dollars, and feeding cattle $205 dollars.
NCBA CEO Colin Woodall states, “Those losses will continue to mount for years to come... if relief funds aren’t made available soon.”
