New Mexico | numbers.
Decent reflection of declining cows is simply by referring to the hiefer mix in the weekly FI slaughter data.
That is what keeps harvest numbers high, but harvest weights and tonnage generally lower.
I refer to alot of other data too, and that ALL points ( for 7 years now ) to the fact the usda has stock cow numbers currently estimated at approx 3.7 million high.
Beef is an industry that became so "mean, lean, and supposedly efficient," thus SAVED so much money over decades that the money is long gone and young people infrastructure it takes is long gone too.
It takes dough to keep good young help around...and the beef industry does not pay the help.
Granted all the old style traditionalists in beef ( feeders and packers both ) recruit heavily S of the border and offshore for cheaper help Every day of every year.
It's all to save dough and supposedly produce beef for more profit..by the simple norm of cutting, chiseling it ALL out of the middle.
Always interesting how big packers have supposedly not made a profit for Years, same on usa cattle feeders, one hardly ever talks to one that ever made any money...yep they all Lose money ( at least supposedly ). | |
