What happened
The Kansas Livestock Association, the Texas Cattle Feeders Association, and the Oklahoma Cattlemen’s Association stated that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations are underway in agricultural communities across Kansas, Texas, and Oklahoma. The groups reported that these ICE activities have caused shipment delays for thousands of cattle, leading to millions of dollars in lost revenue. The industry groups noted that the disruptions are affecting operations at feedyards, dairies, grain companies, and transportation hubs, with the business impact expected to last for weeks.
Why it matters
The industry groups stated that the operations have created a massive chilling effect on the skilled and documented workers essential to the beef supply chain. Due to the operational disruptions, industry groups anticipate that higher beef prices may result.
ICE operations are currently underway in southwest Kansas, impacting the grain-fed beef supply chain.
