Plus the Argentinian beef that President Trump wants to bring in should help to lower prices, also. We will see. You make it seem/sound unfixable. I certainly don't know but I do know the beef prices have to come down to where it is affordable. These, (all involved in enjoying the high prices) people need to come down to earth.
It is unfixable at the current heading. Need major changes to have any hope of saving the industry. They say a ranch/cattle farm shuts down every 26 minutes in this country at this point in time. Its break-even, at best, most years, for the vast majority of cow/Calf operations. Average herds in this country are 15 to 30 momma cows. . Thats hobby type level with main income coming from a 9 to 5 job. Most do it because they enjoy it, not because its profitable. Its a wild paradigm.
I presume you are also in the cattle business, which I don't know much about. A cattle ranch shutting down every 26 minutes in the country can not be good for the ranchers or Americans. I hope Trump and his administration can fix this and soon. Good luck to all cattle ranchers, keeping praying and working hard (you all probably work very hard daily) hopefully this will work out.
I hope and pray there is positive change and soon. It is a 4 year endeavor to hold a heifer back and get a marketable calf out of her. Herd size is supposedly around the same size it was in the 1950's.
Then add in how they've pushed terrible genetics and their lack of fertility, it really is concerning. Not trying to be a doom and gloomy person, just trying to paint a clear picture of the current state of affairs.
And you paint something that needs to addressed. I don't know much about it but you seem to be in the business of cattle. I hope it works out for and we can all eat steak again at a reasonable price.
