And so, for the first time during the COVID-19 pandemic, North Carolina farmers have had to start euthanizing at least 1.5 million chickens, a state agriculture official told the News & Observer, calling the measure a "last resort."

Most meat plants in North Carolina and nationwide won't disclose just how may of their employees have contracted coronavirus, but the close-packed working conditions have turned the facilities into disease hotspots since the early days of the pandemic.

North Dakota farmers are enormously proud of their big, beautiful herds of black angus cattle (its calving season, so lots of little angus in the pastures with their moms.)The meat department in our tiny town is very well stocked.

Should be much easier to delay cattle going to market. Iowa is in the process of disposing of 600,000 hogs because plants are at only 75% capacity. There’s even a state program to assist.

"A 'meat problem' that is a direct result of far too many American 'men' remaining scared schumerless of a weakening virus who remain locked away from society (either in their homes or outdoors hiding their identity behind a mask), living comfortably under the crushing thumb of a politician and behaving more like effing p*ssies than real American men ... in front of their wives and sons, no less."

Yes, liberal administrators, government employees, libertine junk business franchisees and other political class parasites hiding in their homes. They should do some real work in meat processing plants.
