Trump signs orders letting ranchers slaughter and sell beef direct to consumers, bypassing the big 4 packers

The orders take aim at the four big meatpackers — Tyson Foods, JBS USA, Cargill and National Beef Packing Co — and the second one requires country-of-origin labeling on imported beef.

• Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says the U.S. has lost 600,000 ranchers since 1980.
• Trump separately said tariff-free beef imports from Brazil and Argentina are coming, but gave no timeline or mechanism.
