Senators Push for Possible Japanese Beef Boycott
Members of the U.S. Senate will unveil a bipartisan bill tomorrow to punish Japan should Tokyo not resume imports of American beef by Dec. 31, according to Reuters.
Sponsored by Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) and 16 other senators, the legislation would impose tariffs on Japanese products should Japan fail to reopen its markets to U.S. beef.
Japanese Decision Delayed
A highly anticipated meeting fizzled Monday as a Japanese government panel, which was expected to provide a recommendation for resuming U.S. beef imports, failed to reach a decision, meatingplace.com reported.
According to the article, some panel members could not attend and others brought up objections.
The panel is not expected to meet again until early November.
Breed Associations Create Registry
The Gelbvieh, Brangus, Limousin, Salers and Red Angus associations announced last week they have created a new company, Performance Registry Services. The company plans to provide commercial producers with National Cattle Evaluations providing a single suite of EPDs for all the partner breeds on a single base and scale. Decision-support software and a centralized data warehouse will accompany the EPDs.
