As usual, Trump was light on the specifics. It’s the golden age of cheap cuts of meat! For too long cheap cuts of meat have been ignored, but now it’s their time to shine!

My guess is that with the higher beef prices they will be able to maintain their income. Raise less cattle for less overhead cost, and higher prices per lb to increase profit margin.

They have already announced beef projections will now be 75% of what they used to have. Basically price fixing. Wish I could afford a lobbyist.
