The Trump Administration was the first to reintroduce United States beef into China since the infamous bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) scare, or ?Cow That Stole Christmas? in 2003. Trade negotiators managed to get the job done in mid-2017.

Dr. Peel spoke last week with Ron Hays of the Radio Oklahoma Ag Network.
