The perfect storm is….
1 argentina sends us beef (I don’t even know if they are set up for that)
2 we open the boarder to Mexico
3 trump drops the 100% tariff on Brazilian beef, easiest and fastest.
4 packers close a plant
Brazil is a stroke of a pen.
I don’t appreciate the grumblings you hear on Mexico. Ie Injectable ivermectin kills screw worm and the screw worm is only in southern Mexico, they claim the one 70 miles from the border was brought from the south. Why are they making these statements?
I believe the large Mexican corn imports are due to fattening the cattle out down there. For what it’s worth ivermectin injectable has a 35 day withdrawal. Maybe 1 shot their and then 1 shot when they cross. That would put the fats at 70 days out if they weren’t giving the shot within the withdrawal period but at least a 35 notice.
I was talking to a guy today and I said the president will try to bring beef prices down and hard he laughed and said the president would never do that, he only wants the cattle guys to make a lot of money for years to come…
When prices are historically high, there usually only one direction to go, hope I am wrong. We need at least one sector of ag to make bank |
