What the bill would do, and why it matters
Federal law sets rules for a livestock pilot program involving cattle. The bill would require that program to include bred cattle, replacement heifers and cull cattle starting with crop year 2027.
- INTRODUCED ONLY This bill has been introduced and possibly referred to a committee, but it has not passed any vote. Most introduced bills never become law — they die in committee without a hearing.
- DATA NOTE No Congressional Research Service summary was available.
- Add three cattle types to the pilot
Starting with crop year 2027, the livestock pilot program would have to include bred cattle, replacement heifers and cull cattle.
The practical effect would be to require the pilot program to include three specified cattle types starting in crop year 2027. The bill does not describe other changes to the program.
