Eyes wide open. This fellow is one of literally thousands reporting this-- state to state. Subsistence survivor farmers not so much-- pigs and cows on the hoof, so far. Thanks, FReepers! Blessings of Freedom.
My son & I were talking about this just last night.There must be a decent way to get the beeves to the kitchen table
How about CV-19 relief money going to truckers to move them to local butcher shops across the country and to subsidize the ranchers for NOT killing off the herd
Enough damn it. Make Fauci and Deborah kill them.
nothing makes the sheeple more passive than starvation.
Remember to wear your masks as you starve to death in your homes. /sarc
The government lockdown of Americans for nothing but a typical flu is nothing short of total war on the middle class and the working poor.
If the government can declare your livelihood nonessential then they will soon be calling your life itself nonessential. When this foolish and despotic lockdown sinks this country into another great depression and the government can no longer print enough money to feed you then they will let you starve to death.
It is long past time for Americans to push back against this fascist lockdown to regain our freedoms and preserve our very lives
Why? The stores are half empty
Refrigerated trucks, rented. Beeves harvested, in state certified facilities (like the ones used to harvest and process deer and elk, for instance). But-— the interstate shipping laws prevent.... regulation, regulation, regulation. The health cleanliness in processing.... of course. But much can be eradicated to both compensate the farmer and get the food out.
You forgot farmers that are plowing their crops under, but I agree. That should be a TOP priority for these trillions we're spending. The supply and transport of food is what keeps us a civilization. The "preppers" and rural farmers aside, urban and close suburban communities will denigrate into chaos.
You would think that with the de-regulating authority that the President claims, those little impeding regulations can be squashed like bugs
Let the dissenting states throw their weight around...Just cut them out of the deal, and let their locals deal with their own petty potentates
You are right, of course. I was addressing with laser focus the issue the OP’er raised
China, Soros, and the other Stalinists... er, I mean democrats, are behind this. Who else wants to starve us, put our farmers out of business, and crush America’s economy once and for all?
The cattle farmers definitely need protection because the faux-green lobby wants to bankrupt them, probably to get their land. Anything a person in the North East can do to help??
I grew up on a farm, and my brother farmed for years. I'm calling "bullshit" on this. If they are getting ready to "euthanize" any animals, then they are a feedlot operation and NOT a farm or ranch.
Someone called into our local talker a few days ago and said it was the processing plants that were the problem. He was a farmer. Wish I’d recorded the convo.
Why can’t Texans drive over to these ranchers and select their choice of cow, have it euthanized and loaded into the car. A predetermined butcher would gut it, take off the hide and hang it for two weeks to age it. Then, cut and wrap half. The butcher would get the other half for his labor and the customer would get the wrapped half.
That is true. So do you believe that is the intention of these radical authorities with their complete shut downs?
I don't think so. I don't believe they really want a post-apocalyptic America. They would be the first targeted and no matter their money, they won't be able to hide from a starving population with a gun behind every blade of grass. Talk about the Mob!

I know a lot of meat went to restaraunts which have now closed but people are still eating.
Maybe not as much meat because so many don't have as much money.
Different supply chain too, of course.
PDJT just signed an EO invoking the ZDPA to keep the meat and poultry processing plants open.
I don't know the status of the chinese owned Smithfield plants or Tyson.
“nature” = nation. fast stenograph.
