Open Action Alert Regarding GIPSA Rule to All U.S. Cattle Producers

This provision benefits all cattle producers because it prohibits two or more packers from eliminating competition by sharing a single packer buyer. This provision corrects the known problem where two or more cow/bull packers joined together to share a singly buyer, a practice that has eliminated competition for cows and bulls in auction yards across the country. All cattle producers that sell cull cows and bulls benefit when packers are required to continue to compete with each other for available slaughter cattle.
