Headline makes no economic sense.
Thanks, will do- our side is under attack like never before- the left are really pushing their filthy agendas like never before-
It’s hard to believe that OUR FARMERS AND RANCHERS ARE GOING TO LET THOSE FANATIC LUNATICS AT DAVOS control them.
Please God, if we allow ANY OF THIS CRAP TO TAKE HOLD...
Someone...someone big and strong HAS TO STEP FORWARD AND TELL US WHAT TO DO TO ...STOP THIS INSANITY.
“More beef in the market should mean LOWER prices. Not higher.. “
Well sure in the short term term. More cow beef coming which mostly goes for hamburger.
But the cow herd takes a long time to rebuild once it shrinks. And they are shrinking the cow herd.
Takes about three years to rebuild the cow herd and get cattle to market.
Cattle cycle 101 stuff.
however, there are "sales" going on now and if one can they should get as much beef as possible.....because beef...its whats for dinner.
prices are a bit lower now....it won’t last....buy now...
I did cook up a woodchuck once except we call them rock chucks here in the west....don’t know how it tasted because I wouldn’t eat it.....others seem to enjoy though...
Girl friend said the same, they did have pigs and cows but they were farmers due to the crops. I did not get there were crops in this article. It sounded more like they were in the ranching business to me and have never heard livestock folks call themselves farmers.
AFAIK, most ranch cattle are sent to FARM feedlots to fatten up before slaughter.
Our family was split between two sisters when our great grandmother died. When our aunt died her kids couldn’t wait til the dirt was settled on her grave to sell off her part.
We are hanging by our fingernails to keep the developers off us. Offered over $40,000 per acre.
If you have strictly graze land like your have our west, you can call yourself a rancher.
It also takes alot of ranchland to raise a single head. Something like 20-50 acres per year, depending on water, grass.
In Tennessee we can raise over two hundred cows on a five hundred acre farm that has plenty of woods and crop land. On something around two hundred acres. We get plenty of rain, good siol and warm weather and put up plenty of hay for the winter. This year will be tight.
$40,000 an acre? Wow. But the land really is worth much more for ehat it can produce over generations. Not just in monetary terms, but in family value terms and self worth terms as well. I hate seeing farms get split up and sold to people who have no intention of keeping the farm goung by relatives that want nothing to do with farming life. As you know, it makes it near impossible for,the remaining family members who want to keep it to hang on and make it profitable then. Sorry to hear of your situation. Our nation is not headed in a lgood direction. Farming is so dang expensive these days, and lots don’t make it, which leaves us less able to get the food the nation needs. Now,the left are attacking meat ranches/farms too. We are gonna be in trouble as a nation soon if it continues.
Your so right. Once farmland has been paved it’s gone forever. And with a greater population but declining farms cannot portend to a bright future.
Lots of good land in Africa but it’s political situation is a terminal mess.
I’ll probably be dead before we get to Soylent green time but not by much.
Don't it always seem to go...
Agreed, its a very bad trend with no good outlook. People are nearsighted, and the masses will suffer for it.
“Paved paradise and put up a parking lot...”
Some of my cousins bought beach front property in Florida.
Is it a sin I’m hoping for a hurricane to hir Fort Walton abeach?
