United States Cattlemen Association members are in Washington D.C. this week for  their Fly-In, visiting with members of Congress. USCA President and West River South Dakota producer, Danni Beer says they’re trying to make headway on several issues, including country of origin labeling.

Beer says another issue they’re talking to legislators about is the placing of species on endangered lists.

Beer says they want to make sure beef remains in the dietary guidelines that are coming out.

Beer says they’re hoping to keep EPA’s Clean Water Rule from being implemented.
