Standing Against RFID Mandates: Ranchers Lead the Fight
Ranchers are mobilizing across the U.S. to push back against the USDA's RFID mandates. These mandates would require all cattle to be tagged with electronic IDs, a step many see as government overreach that would harm small, independent ranchers.
Breeauna Sagdal and The Beef Initiative are at the forefront of this movement, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with cattle associations to oppose the implementation of livestock vaccine passports. They urge supporters to call their senators to endorse the Resolution of Disapproval before the final rule takes effect on November 5th.

Helene Relief: The Ranching Community Steps Up
The I Am Texas Slim Foundation, in partnership with FAFO Farms, is spearheading a coordinated relief response for ranchers in the wake of recent natural disasters that devastated parts of North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia. Relief efforts include distributing horse and cattle feed, solar energizers, and temporary fencing from hubs like the WNC Livestock Center in Canton, NC.
This grassroots initiative has seen contributions from Mennonite groups and ranchers across the country, including those from Pennsylvania. In stark contrast to traditional government aid, these efforts are community-led, with Bitcoin donations funding much of the relief.
“We’re witnessing firsthand how ranchers are stepping up when traditional government assistance is falling short,” said a representative from FAFO Farms.
