Trump is doing a marvelous job. Since he's president your food safety went downwards resulting in numerous of problems with all sorts of products. Also the USA can't feed its own population anymore. First he needed to loosen up the rules on importing eggs, now he needs to do the same on beef and it seems that he hasn't a clue where it will come from what will result in another problem for your food safety because Mexican kettle grown for their own market has still "Clenbuterol" in it to name one product.

Typical Socialist.

Just rolling with The Narrative.

No worries.

You fly yours. We’ll fly ours.

“Product of the USA”? 🤔

But is the "box" made in the USA?

If Chance is out of time out our Pink Panther friend from Texas should be also.

I'd love to have his take on the current state of the beef industry.

It truly is an interesting subject on one aspect of food production.

I’ve been trying to relay a bit of that from him via chance. He definitely has some strong opinions about it that have merit.

Moving up to the upper midwest has been awesome for sourcing local, grass fed beef. Very little, if any antibiotics too! The difference in flavor/taste vs. supermarket beef is mind blowing. I don't think I can ever go back to store bought shite.

That rule changed at the beginning of this year. Country of Origin Labeling is voluntary for beef, but if “Product of USA” is used, it has to be born, raised, slaughtered, and processed in the United States.

But, hey, it’s all good. Being a “loser” in your mind isn’t an insult. 🤣

isn't part of this a result of large numbers of breeder cattle being sold off during the severe droughts out west?

I remember members here posting pictures of long lines at sale barns from people selling off stock they could not feed.

It takes years to rebuild breeding stock to produce calves down the line.

Holding heifers to use for breeding would impact supply early.

I see weaned calves selling for $800-$900 locally. It is getting pretty crazy.

Feed lots are paying $2500-$3000 a head.

Nuts, ain't it?

If you're rebuilding from established cows, you're looking at around 27 months from knocked up to sale barn.

Ain't nothing happening quickly.

Makes this whole import thing seem more like a campaign for mid-terms than anything else.

Trump's hack-and-slash style could have been really useful for closing those kinds of loopholes.

If you need it explained to you, well then maybe you're the problem.

Just like Hardly-Ableson --  MADE in China and India, imported (at little or no tariifs) as "machine parts" and assembled in Milwaukee, then sold as flag-waving "USA MADE".

If you don't believe me, go dig a little, as I did. 

Start with going to a H-D shop, picking up 100 random iterms and counting how many of them were MADE IN THE USA. -- like I did.

I found 2  when I did that little experiment at the big Hardly shop by Scottsdale airport a few years ago.

Same thing with beef -- export all  US beef, then IMPORT form Canada or Argentina or fucken Russia..... fucked up system.

I' read that most of this imported ground beef, will find its way to restaurants/ takeaway chains. So, debatable  that it will actually lower prices to those at the supermarkets / butchers. 

I was curious to see how long 300 million tons  of ground beef would take to use in the USA : I found estimates of it being around 40 /45 days. Heck, that's quick consumption.
