Lonesome Lands: The Advertising Cattlemen are Forced to Pay For

Jim Mundorf talks about some of the fraud that Cattlemen are forced to pay for as part of the Beef Checkoff. American Cattle Farmers and Ranchers are forced to pay $1.00 per head of cattle, every time they sell cattle. The money goes into a fund called the Beef Checkoff. The fund is controlled by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. This is corrupt and fraudulent organization, whose main priority is to keep cattlemen paying into the checkoff so that they can continue to have access to their slush fund. This is an excerpt of a speech given at the R-Calf USA convention in June of 2024.
