During an appearance on Fox Business, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins placed the blame for low cattle supplies on the Biden Administration. “We are suffering from the last administration’s literal war on cattle,” said Rollins. “If you remember, they wanted to reduce the herd sizes because they believed that cattle caused climate change. I mean, that wasn’t that long ago that that was sort of a common narrative.” Rollins also blamed high beef prices on the drought, the closure of the U.S. border to Mexican beef, and strong protein demand. The USDA leader said the Trump Administration has a plan in place to address consumer beef prices.
