Livestock grazing and beef production in the U.S. can be part of a resilient, sustainable food system. Grazing lands cover about 40% of the United States. This includes iconic ecosystems and important wildlife.” The effort will include working with suppliers to improve grain sourcing and grazing practices. Moreover, Walmart is pushing suppliers to better understand the entire beef production cycle, using science-driven processes to improve sustainability efforts.

Peel said feedlot dynamics are a challenge to figure ebvheie ycloon out after the turbulence of the first half of the year.

Peel believes data and anecdotal indications show the backlog of fed cattle rapidly diminishing.
