Montana Stockgrowers

Montana rancher Fred Wacker will be in attendance at the White House Monday afternoon as President Donald Trump is set to formally sign the Japan trade deal, according to an advisory sent out by Senator Steve Daines' (R-MT) office.

Jim Peterson is a rancher in Buffalo, Montana. He's also the former Senate president, former Chairman of the US Meat Export Federation, and former President of the Montana Stockgrowers Association. Needless to say- this guy knows beef. And he is raving about the Wagyu Beef now being raised and sold right here in Montana at Stone Ranch Montana Wagyu.

It’s been a big year for Trump and trade- new agreements with the US, Mexico, and Canada. Plus, we've seen progress with Europe and China. What do ranchers in Montana’s number one industry have to say about that, the cattle markets, and much more?

Mussard says he is very confident with the Trump Administration on trade. He described the improved working relationship with the Trump Administration, compared to the Obama Administrationn as a night and day difference. "We went from sludge to oil," added Mussard.

We'll talk with Bryan Mussard, the president of the Montana Stockgrowers Association (MSGA), from Dillon on Friday's "Montana Talks" with Aaron Flint.
