I think there is good reason to look into the meat packers in this country to investigate collusion and violation of anti trust laws. I am a cattle producer and I am concerned about our nations food supply and the market.

What the Packers are doing right now with imported beef is wrong.
Price fixing by taking advantage of a catastrophic event is wrong.
The monopoly they have on cattle industry is wrong.

I’m signing this because I am a cattle producer who has watched the growing disparity of live cattle prices and boxed beef continue to grow. The livelihood of rural America is at stake. We ask the DOJ to act promptly in their investigation.

I raise cattle and the price they are now is an extreme hardship, trying to feed them and provide a healthy product is going to bankrupt a lot of producers.

I'm a Wyoming native and a rancher by birth. I feel the packers have taken advantage of us for more than the last 30years and its gotten worse every year to a point over the last 5 we are bearly making any profit on calf sales. Throw in the bomb blizzard of 2019 and we went in the hole fanatically. They have destroyed our markets and robbed the consumers doing it.

This needs to happen before we lose our industry. It will affect many jobs and livelihoods. It trickles down and will have an impact on all facets of agriculture.

So many cattleman are at the break of losing everything, with no help fast enough from our legislators. It's obvious there are so many that are lining there pockets on the backs of American ranchers. I'm a 3rd generation cattleman. I'm not asking for a hand out, I'm asking for help, a fair shot at being successful.

Yancey McHone (Plymouth, 2020-05-07)

I believe the pricing in the beef cattle industry needs to be seriously looked at, especially for price gouging, collusion and fixing.

The cattle markets are extremely lopsided in the packers favor, and its choking the American cattle rancher. It will take the power and resources of the American government to set these markets right again.

Jake Scott (Gordon , 2020-05-07)

As a small cattle rancher this needs to be fixed and government should not let other countries affect our cattle market or our life style
