7. Right...it makes no sense

National US cattle supplies remain at a 70-year low. Why did our cattle supply shrink??? People around here are raising heifers left and right but the price they are getting has dropped significantly.

Short-term fed and feeder cattle prices fell sharply.

So basically our supply of cattle for processing has fallen And the price for them has dropped.

What happened to supply and demand? Someone else is providing beef supplies to US markets. Is it Argentina and Brazil? Pedo Trump bailed out Argentina with our tax dollars then opened up our beef markets to them too. Brazil has become the lead exporter of Beef. Does the US produce anything anymore?
