Cargill, ADM, and the huge feedlot operators will see the real profit here.

Don't forget Tyson Foods. They sell beef at Walmart.

Both of these corporations have used illegal aliens. Now where is that argument of cheap prices and the need for illegal aliens??????

The packers always do better than the cow-calf producer, but the ranchers are benefiting from this as well. Before we moved down here we sold our little Black Angus herd and the calves went for $0.89/pound. A friend just sold some calves for $1.18/pound...nice 33% increase in two years.
