This is the next big one to hit. It will make meat in the US cheaper for the time due to too much supply but the farmers will be losing money and will be selling at a loss.

This will cause them to drastically drop production with lots of layoffs. If the tariffs eventually go away, the meat prices will skyrocket in the US once the supply levels start dropping but they dont have the production.
