PRESS RELEASE: Canyon, Texas — March 5, 2026 Beef.com, the category-defining global domain acquired by Texas Slim, today announced it is building the first dedicated digital infrastructure network for the global beef industry — connecting ranchers directly to pricing, payment, and market settlement for the first time at scale. This is not an e-commerce launch. It is infrastructure. American ranchers operate inside a system built against them — opaque pricing, slow payments, and middlemen extracting margin at every step. Beef.com is being built to change that structure, not work around it. The platform is designed to do something the beef industry has never had: a single, transparent layer where product moves, prices are verified, and ranchers get paid faster — backed by real assets. Beef.com is now engaging institutional investors, infrastructure capital, fintech partners, and agricultural stakeholders to participate in Phase I deployment. Platform Architecture Beef.com is being architected as: • A real-time Beef Index enabling transparent price discovery • A rancher-direct routing system reducing intermediary bottlenecks • A digitally secured settlement layer compressing payment cycles • A Strategic Beef Reserve designed to buffer supply disruptions • A digital provenance system verifying origin and production data At scale, the platform functions as exchange-grade infrastructure supporting routing, liquidity management, and reserve coordination. Market Structure & Settlement The Beef Index establishes verified, quality-based pricing with capital routed directly to producers — cutting out the opacity that has defined agricultural markets for generations. The settlement framework modernizes agricultural clearing by reducing lag, limiting counterparty friction, and strengthening working capital stability for ranchers. The Strategic Beef Reserve provides structured inventory coordination designed to stabilize supply during periods of market stress. Capital Formation: Phase I Infrastructure Raise Beef.com has initiated discussions for a $25 million Phase I infrastructure securitization to fund deployment of its routing and settlement architecture. Phase I capital will support: • Exchange architecture development • Rancher-direct routing integration • Regulatory and compliance alignment • Institutional pilot execution • Operational onboarding and scalability This is infrastructure capital directed toward measurable transaction flow improvement within defined regional corridors of the U.S. beef market. Upon validation and expanded adoption, subsequent phases are expected to extend routing nationally and integrate broader liquidity participation. Qualified institutional investors and accredited strategic partners are invited to request private offering materials and schedule executive briefings regarding Phase I participation. Market Positioning Beef.com controls the definitive global domain within a $500B+ industry and is being developed as the foundational coordination layer for pricing, routing, settlement, and reserve infrastructure. Beef.com is being valued and built like exchange infrastructure — comparable to financial clearing platforms — not as a consumer food brand. This represents base-layer infrastructure ownership in one of the world’s most essential industries. Executive Statement “This isn’t about launching a website,” said Texas Slim. “It’s about rebuilding how product and capital move through the beef economy. When routing is verified and settlement is efficient, the foundation strengthens.” About Beef.com Beef.com is being developed as digital infrastructure for the global beef industry, focused on verified routing, transparent pricing, and modernized settlement systems. It is not retail. It is infrastructure. @modernTman @stacyherbert


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
