What is important is what is driving the stock decline. It seems to me that the prospect of recession in Europe and significantly slower growth in China are he main drivers. Oil dropping due to this reduced demand is confirming to me that slower economic growth is likely. To the extent that our cattle prices are pushed up by exports to asia, yes this could hurt cattle prices but not a lot.
