Livestock Haulers Need Commonsense Transportation Rules
Livestock haulers are a critical link in the cattle and beef supply chain, and they safely transport cattle across the country every day. Dusty Holley, executive vice president of Florida Cattlemen’s Association, and Kent Bacus, NCBA executive director of Government Affairs, discuss current federal transportation rules/regulations and identify changes that could improve livestock haulers’ ability to deliver cattle while protecting animal welfare and efficiency. The cattle industry still relies largely on reputation, so it’s important to know that when cattle are loaded onto a truck, they will arrive in a timely manner and in a healthy condition, which is why federal policy should align with those priorities. #AgTransportation #SupplyChain #CattleHaulers #Livestock
