Ranchers-Cattlemen Action Legal Fund, USA (R-CALF) signed onto the Main Street Competition Coalition’s letter to President Donald Trump, calling for strict antitrust enforcement.
“We respectfully urge your Administration to reaffirm its commitment to aggressive antitrust enforcement and to press forward with the full slate of pending cases currently being advanced by the (Federal Trade Commission) and (Department of Justice),” the groups wrote. Bill Bullard, CEO of R-CALF, said the only way to reverse the contraction of the cattle and sheep industries is to restore competition to markets. “Rigorous enforcement of our antitrust laws and the fair competition laws incorporated in the Packers and Stockyards Act is essential for achieving that goal,” Bullard said.
