Looking for Pasture Land

Urgently looking for pasture land to raise our beef cattle. The owners of our current lease are selling their property so we need to move the herd. 10+ acres with fence and water preferred. If you or someone you know has land available for lease in or around the Heard county area, I’d love to talk.

Feel free to share—greatly appreciated!

Easy way to let your elected officials know Argentina beef is not the solution...

The Georgia Cattlemen’s Association is closely monitoring the recent developments regarding the import of beef from Argentina. We remain in active communication with state and federal officials on this issue and will continue to advocate for Georgia’s cattle producers.

NCBA has released a grassroots sign-on campaign for cattle producers to write a letter to their elected officials pushing back on the Argentinian beef plan. To join this campaign, please click on this link: https://beef.quorum.us/campaign/145001/

U.S. CATTLE REPORT 😔 A Sad Reality: Brazil to Overtake the U.S. in Beef Production for the First Time 🐄🌎

According to the USDA's August WASDE report, U.S. beef production in 2025 is projected at 25.992 billion pounds, reflecting a decline due to reduced fed and non-fed cattle slaughter and lighter dressed weights. If realized, this would mark the lowest annual beef production for the U.S. since 2016. Meanwhile, Brazil is forecast to produce 26.23 billion pounds of beef in 2025, slightly exceeding its record output from 2024. If this projection holds, Brazil will produce 243 million pounds more beef than the United States—a historic first.

This milestone marks a dramatic shift in global beef production dynamics. In 2000, the U.S. outproduced Brazil by more than 12.7 billion pounds, but that gap has steadily narrowed. While U.S. production has declined by 4.1% since 2000, Brazil’s output has surged by over 82% during the same period. Brazil first surpassed 20 billion pounds of beef production in 2007 and has steadily expanded each year since. The 2025 forecast reflects the culmination of this long-term growth trajectory, positioning Brazil as the world’s top beef producer for the first time on record.
