If we’re a net importer now, I’d think tariffs would boost the local industry. (And the auction could move to less expensive land.)
Eat more chicken...
It is meat and right so to do.
“Livestock auctions could be coming to an end at America’s last big-city stockyard”
A few more Democrat wins and we’ll be trying to describe to our grandchildren what eating a steak is like.
Because Omaha is not ghetto enough.
I bet the new stock yard costs more than the old one.
Does Fort Worth still have its stockyards?
Big cities have left a trail of ruin and failure across America since the 1960s. Tens of millions have abandoned big cities.
This is another stupid article by the liars at AP to prop up the Marxist dream of forcing populations into dysfunctional crapholes, while the Stalinist masters live in lakeside dachas.
Just in the last week or two cow - calf pairs sold for $4,750 if you can find them. Cattle numbers are horribly low. Beef prices will keep going up. Feed is through the roof. Maybe if we stop using corn for fuel prices will creep back down. So many older people around here are going out of the cattle business the numbers at the local stock yard are way down. The land is going to the children who don't want cows, don't have any need for the land but expect high rents from the remaining people who manage cows who can't pay that much. I can see why in many cases because the "renter" I have does a lousy job of taking care of things. There is much more to animal husbandry than putting them out on pasture. I'll put up with him until the grass greens up but his days are numbered. I enjoy watching the calves.
He does not know enough to keep his bull off the cows and put him out to time births for spring instead of the dead of winter. There were several calves born in the coldest time around Christmas and since. The first warm day they went nuts playing. They had no idea days came in anything but cold, windy and hard. Today they are just wild with joy.
The cattle business has been a good way to turn a lot of money into a little bit of money for a long time unless you are in it commercially and on a big scale.
