Brook Rollins works for Big Ag. She blocked earlier efforts by MAHA to change regulations to help small ranchers.

Undercover at CattleCon: Ranchers & Insiders Expose How Tyson, JBS, Cargill, & National Beef Secretly Control America's Beef Market. The OMG team did a deep dive, going undercover at CattleCon 2026 in Nashville, Tennessee. We spoke with beef industry insiders and ranchers about the top four companies, Tyson, JBS, Cargill, and National Beef, which dominate U.S. beef processing. These four companies process the majority of U.S. beef. Over time, dozens of smaller processors merged into four major companies now known as the “Big Four.” “They [Big Four] are buying like all the companies in the United States… so they don’t have competition.” “They [Big Four] can knock you out of this industry in two seconds.” “They [Big Four] closed all the markets — all the markets are theirs in Brazil and now in the U.S.” In November 2025, President Trump tweeted that cattle prices were falling while boxed beef prices kept rising, calling it “fishy.” With the Department of Justice urging action over possible price manipulation by major meatpackers, we decided to investigate and do something about it. Our team spoke directly with ranchers and industry partners, documenting firsthand how the “Big Four” dominate the market and impact pricing. As beef prices climb, many cattle producers say they have little influence over the prices they receive, raising questions about how costs are set from the ranch to the store shelf. The Department of Justice has looked into whether the biggest beef companies have too much control over the industry and whether they worked together to raise prices. The “Big Four” companies deny any wrongdoing, insisting that prices are driven solely by supply and demand. Tyson, JBS, Cargill, and National Beef control most of the U.S. beef industry, raising serious questions about who really sets the price. So when you see higher prices at the grocery store, it’s worth asking why. This may explain why your steak keeps costing more. @TysonFoods @JBSUSA @JBS_oficial @NationalBeeff @Cargill @TheJusticeDept @PamBondi @JusticeATR

We support the PRIME Act too. There is currently a snowflake’s chance in hell that it gets passed unfortunately, considering how corrupt the Congress is and how almost everyone is bought out by the NCBA. Trying to focus on issues that this White House has agency to do immediately.
English
@MeriwetherFarms Prime Act would be more beneficial than MCOOL but are important but we need more freedoms for small local farmers
English
If this Administration truly cares about making Food Security a National Security issue, and they really care about prioritizing the American rancher, President Trump will then sign the Executive Order on Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (MCOOL) that is currently being passed around the White House
We’re tired of the bullshit excuses, and this is more important than providing immunity to some multinational corporation
The American people deserve to know where their food is coming from and the American rancher is tired of being undermined by the people we elect to protect them

@MeriwetherFarms @RobertYonaitis @FedEx They’ve gone so far downhill I won’t buy from people that use them. Nothing personal

Our customers ask us for merchandise all the time
One of the main reasons we haven’t done much is because we have had trouble finding merch companies that actually manufacture and print clothing here in the USA
This is a great thread of American made clothing companies
If there are any American-Made merch companies out there that want to collaborate—feel free to DM us or email us at info@meriwetherfarms.com
Thank you in advance!

There's a pervasive belief that we no longer produce clothes in the United States. This is not true. In this thread, I will tell you about some great made-in-USA brands — some that run their own factories, while others are US brands contracting with US factories. 🧵

I’ve been seeing these posts about putting Optimus on the meat-cutting lines, and all I can think about is Bell Ranch rolling a chuck wagon across 290,000 acres… on purpose. I look at that chuck wagon and I see discipline. Not nostalgia. Discipline. It takes work to preserve meaning. It takes money. It takes leadership that’s willing to say some things stay because they matter. What I’m watching right now is a culture that doesn’t want to do that work. We let the butcher shops disappear. We let the apprenticeships dry up. We let the knowledge age out. Then we act surprised when there’s a labor shortage. There isn’t a shortage of human capability. There’s a shortage of investment in people. If we had put real funding behind agricultural education, behind trade schools, behind teaching kids how to break down a carcass and run a small plant, we wouldn’t be fantasizing about robots running our kill floors. The loss of meaning and the loss of the national herd travel together. When land becomes an asset class instead of a legacy, cattle numbers follow that shift. When young people don’t see dignity or stability in ranching and processing, they don’t step into it. Then somebody rolls out a robot and calls it innovation. Preserving the cowboy way of life isn’t about cosplay. It’s about keeping the human infrastructure intact. You fund the education. You fund the regional processors. You make the trade honorable and profitable again. And suddenly the future doesn’t require replacing the people who built it. @beefinitiative @elonmusk

We will never replace our hardworking American meat cutters with robots
It has taken time and effort to train our crew, but we have some of the best, mostly born and raised right here in Wyoming, who show up every day to provide our customers with the greatest products—they are worth every penny
What an absolute distopian betrayal to suggest this
Might as well be a sales person for the Big 4

@elonmusk @Tesla_Optimus We’ve got a small rural USDA beef plant + real butchers ready to train Optimus TODAY on precision meat cutting. → 0% cut mistakes → ~$160k/yr yield savings at small scale → 80% labor reduction (major skill shortage) → perfect hard manipulation data for the team Food security is national security right now. Send 5–7 units and we’ll give you the best training dataset you’ve seen yet. DM me. #Optimus

This is absolutely grotesque
A reason why the outsourcing and offshoring of our food production has been one of the greatest betrayals to Americans

This is what the NCBA considers steak.
They sold us all out to the smuggled cattle brigade in Central and South America.
And this is what they’re cooking up!

Sad day for Americans who don’t want to be dominated by foreign and corrupt food companies
We can now kiss the investigation into the foreign meat packers goodbye — as Gail Slater was the brave force behind it
Thank you, Gail, for your service, you will always be revered 🇺🇸
Gail Slater@gailaslater
It is with great sadness and abiding hope that I leave my role as AAG for Antitrust today. It was indeed the honor of a lifetime to serve in this role. Huge thanks to all who supported me this past year, most especially the men and women of @justiceatr

Gail Slater is a warrior. Gail was most principled one there. Now no corporation will be held responsible for anything .
When you won’t bend, powerful people get uncomfortable. Respect. @gailaslater

President Trump has signed an executive order to QUADRUPLE the amount of IMPORTED BEEF from Argentina. Reminder our cattle inventory is the lowest since 1951. This does nothing to help AMERICAN farmers and ranchers.
"Despite the increased prices and the availability of more affordable protein alternatives, United States consumers’ demand for beef remains strong. The United States imported a record high amount of beef in 2024, reaching 4.64 billion pounds, a more than 24 percent increase in beef imports since 2023. Among the beef products the United States imports are lean trimmings, which are blended with fattier domestic trimmings to produce ground beef products, such as hamburgers."
So record high imports in 2024 and his response? TO QUADRUPLE THE IMPORTS
Like handing me a band-aid after getting my leg blown off from a land mine.

State Representative Don McLaughlin of Texas details the horrors of an infection of the NewWorld Screwworm (NWS) in a human.
As of January 2026, there have been 7 human casualties reported in Mexico due to a NWS infection, just south of our border. And those are the ones that were actually reported..
Last summer, some of you may remember when we posted something like this warning the public, our @x account was suspended for 4 weeks.
