Cattle producers from across the country gathered in Washington, D.C., on Tax Day for a press conference highlighting the benefits of the Working Families Tax Cuts included in the One Big Beautiful Bill. The event featured members of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association. Industry leaders pointed to expanded estate tax exemptions and permanent small business tax provisions as key wins for producers. NCBA President and Virginia cattle producer Gene Copenhaver said the changes will help secure the future of family operations. “The expanded estate tax relief and permanent small business provisions provide greater certainty and help ensure that family-owned cattle operations can be passed on to the next generation,” he said. The legislation also includes enhancements to Section 199A and Section 179 deductions, along with a restored 100 percent bonus depreciation. Iowa Cattlemen’s Association President Craig Moss said the measures reflect years of advocacy and will support producers’ ability to reinvest and plan ahead.
