So if the lean beef that we’re importing can only be replaced domestically with cull cows then we should have lowered imports and increased cow slaughter earlier? What held us back from sustainable herd growth was a lack of packing plant expansion coming out of 2014
Jerod McDaniel@JerodMcDaniel

They gotta shove as much of their corrupt shit into the market while they can. They’ve been doing this for years Cattle would’ve been high enough to sustain a good American herd if this shit wouldn’t have take place to begin with. Thanks NCBA and our corrupt fucking government

@CornfedBeef @MichaelSch46619 They will do what they have to do to take care of customers short term. The workers in the other plants won't work six days for long.

We haven’t had a strike in a major US packing plant in 40 years best I recall. Next week will be a new adventure for most. I lived through a few in the 1980’s. They were no fun.

@KINGS1973 Will Jbs just utilize their other plants to become more cost effective, they have the capability to kill the same amount of cattle just more efficient right now…if they become profitable you know they are going to kill as many as they can

Agreed. At least the Feds took their Tax Credits away from foreign entities

@trentloos It doesn't help. Exhibit A on why it should be done here. Totally ridiculous to be importing stuff that we can produce here.

@ErickFarmer73 @trentloos So they didn’t receive federal dollars and it was state incentives? Or what federal tax credit program, federal grant, etc did they receive funds? I’m all about rumors and hearsay but also would like to take advantage of it if it’s legit

@CornfedBeef @trentloos $10’s of millions. Perfectly within the rules and part of it, but it’s a foreign owned entity getting our money.

@curliemermaid @atrupar That’s a compelling story until you realize where the methane and carbon dioxide they release comes from….it comes from the carbon dioxide that plants pull out of the air that they consume - at the very least they’re carbon net neutral Bark at fossil fuel if that’s your agenda

@atrupar Cow belches and shit produce methane gas. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that significantly contributes to global warming, climate change, and air pollution, with far-reaching effects on ecosystems and human health.

Brooke Rollins on beef prices: "To rebuild the lowest beef herd in 75 years will take a little bit of time. You think about the last administration, they had a war on American agriculture. They thought that cows created climate change."

Northern cattle feeders probably can’t feel any more dazed and confused than after this cash market whiplash $208/209 trades last week to $218-222 just a week later 🥴

@leereichmuth I would guess Tyson is no longer in the negotiated market since they’re going to one shift at Amarillo…now what avg price do they use for the other 95% in TX/OK/NM?

@leereichmuth Do you think the folks at Tyson were smart enough to realize the price difference in cattle procurement (b/w Pasco, Amarillo & Lex) was formula grid vs them owning the cattle? Next 24 months will look very different for them

Maybe, just maybe, the formulas were costing Tyson too much and that had a lot to do with their decision of shutting down that plant.

The producer who thought their wouldn’t be ramifications from packers losing money is equally as dumb as the packers who didn’t realize what their ramifications to producers would be for financial losses in 2019-2021.

@TheGrainiac @KINGS1973 Honestly, the majority of feedback I’ve heard isn’t that they (Tyson) should have to operate a plant at a loss - it’s that they should have to offer it for sale for someone else to take the risk That’s the government helping maintain a free and competitive market 🤷🏻‍♂️

@conortdwyer @LonesomeLands How can you force someone not to be able to buy an asset or sell it to whoever they choose? The government steps in all the time to do that to maintain free and competitive markets

Great post. “When you have that much leverage, you have control.”
Casey Kimbrell@CBKimbrell

A lot of changes to the cattle sector in the last two weeks and none of it good. My 2¢: (probably more than it’s worth) I can’t help but think that if the Lexington processing plant were owned by an independent, it wouldn’t be closing. If things got so bad that the independent were facing bankruptcy, there would be an immediate sale of the plant and processing would continue under a new independent owner. This is one of the major problems with consolidation. They can throttle capacity (their plan released Friday will halt approximately 7.5% of the nation’s slaughter capacity) which will lower cattle prices and drive up prices for the consumer. When you have that much leverage, you have control. I see a lot of packer defenders saying “if they had control, they wouldn’t be losing money right now.” This argument seems reasonable until you realize that the shrinking cattle herd is due, in part, to their leverage over the cattle market which has systematically removed the incentive to increase herd numbers. I say “in part” because that’s not the only factor that set up this scenario. Cheap imports are another, although the beef packing cabal has a lot to do with that as well. Long story short, the beef herd is destined to continue to shrink if things continue as is. Everything from government actions to plant closures are pushing it this way. Dependence on foreign production seems to be the way of the powers that be. It’ll be our downfall as a nation at some point, but I reckon we’ll save a few bucks in the meantime.

@conortdwyer @LonesomeLands They 100% have the right to shut it down but if meatpacking is an oligopoly and food production is a national security issue shouldn’t Tyson be forced to sell the plant for someone else to take the business risk?

@LonesomeLands They have the right to shut a plant that they own down. Thats America. If we took the right from them away what else are we willing to take away. Cattleman need to get over it. Shut up and learn how to manage risk, or go broke. This is how all business in all industries work

@ontariocowboy1 @scottwestacre A new plant opened in North Platte - currently kills 1,000 hd/day with eventual max capacity of 2,000 hd/day Tyson Lexington is killing 4,000/day with max capacity of 5,000 Long term there would have been plenty of cattle to go around

Post of no purpose. Beef herds fell under both R/administrations — this post doesn’t push any information on the narrative that he hates a political party. The plant closed on lack of capacity/profitability The only one whose opinions are satisfied by these kind of posts are the countries blocking our ag exports to them as this fuels their push to fight the USA. If we loose this trade fight it will be ag that is targeted every time a country has trade issues w USA That is the reason to hold the line.
