Hmmmm, cattle prices are “low” and price of ground beef at the supermarket is still > $4/lb? Methinks there is a bit of a disconnect.

Cattle prices are a small part of the picture.Depressed grain prices and ever increasing input costs are putting us farmers in a bind.

Much like the disconnect right now with the calls to bail out the oil industry by the same people who when there were complaints about $5.00 gasoline claimed it was the American Free Enterprise system at work.

Beef is a premium product in a world market, the price reflecting the declining value of the dollar. There is also the overlooked extra cost to farmers of increasing government regulation.
