Considering the profitability of the indudtry, this could be another industry that is better suited for offshore.


There's a lot of expense in shipping animals from the mid west offshore. Chickens in crates start dropping like flies if you have to ship them more than a couple hours. Beef do better but they need a lot of care to ride a couple days.

Anything grown/raised in Texas/Calif./ southwest can be grown/raised in Mexico. It can also be processed/cold shipped from there. Remember NAFTA? ( Clowntoon signed it).

Its a world market and there is no going back.
