Abstract: Against the backdrop of the continuous escalation of China-US trade frictions,the development of China's cattle industry is undergoing unprecedented challenges,such as dependence on imported frozen semen,high costs,and a shrinking market.Taking Dongying,the core area of the Yellow River Delta,as a sample,this study deeply analyzes the development status and existing problems of its cattle industry,especially the dairy cattle industry.Targeted countermeasures are proposed,including promoting the upgrading of the industrial chain and market expansion,optimizing the supply chain layout,and strengthening technological innovation[1].The aim is to help the cattle industry in Dongying get out of the development dilemma and achieve sustainable and healthy development.Meanwhile,it provides a replicable “Dongying Model” for similar regions to cope with industrial crises caused by trade frictions.

Key words: cattle industry, trade friction, industrial chain upgrading
