    The content of the note

    .@realDonaldTrump @WhiteHouse Cattlemen and women cannot stand behind President Trump while he undercuts the future of family farmers and ranchers by importing Argentinian beef. It is imperative that @POTUS and @SecRollins let cattle markets work without interference.

    If the administration is truly an ally of America’s cattle producers, we call on him to abandon this effort to manipulate markets and focus instead on completing the promised New World Screwworm facility in Texas; make additional investments that protect the domestic cattle herd from foreign animal diseases such as FMD; and address regulatory burdens, such as delisting of the gray wolf and addressing the scourge of black vultures.

      Wait what? no government interference but more government inference, is this Schrödinger’s government ?

      Pay for your own damn screwworm facility instead of asking for a government handout The screwworm fly that’s range has expanded due to a warming climate that beef cattle make worse and Trump said doesn’t exist anyway, so why is it an issue? /s

      and address regulatory burdens, such as delisting of the gray wolf and addressing the scourge of black vultures.

      Yes, kill all the other animals… ffs
