What would you expect. This is nothing more than Tyson begging the USDA to allow the to source cheaper cattle to keep their processing capacity fully utilized. The fact that they sucked all of the profits in the entire cattle production cycle during 2020. The packers were clearing $1000 per head while cattle feeders were losing money who in turned paid less for the calf which in turns sends a signal to the beef cow owner that we need to produce less cattle as I can not afford to continue to loss money. So now that process has reduced the national beef herd the packers are whinnying to the USDA to allow them access to cheaper cattle. In a functioning democratic republic this would fall on deaf ears. But the USDA is owned by the likes of Tyson and the other large food companies.
I watched it happen front row seats. I finance cattle feeders. In 2020 they could not get a bid from the packers for at least a month. Then they had to continue feeding them for several more weeks at prices substantially less than before the lockdowns. Then they report that they were making $1000 per head while my customers were losing a couple hundred because of lower prices and the cost of feeding cattle for up to 2 months longer than they should have.
Meanwhile they increased imports of Brazilian beef 57% in one year, and left Western farmers in drought shipping animals to auction for prices well below cost. Once farmers are driven out, the dependency grows and the land, genetics and knowledge cannot easily be reclaimed. It has been happening for a century, and they are closing the noose. https://www.frontporchrepublic.com/2023/01/the-coming-cow-wars-why-raising-cows-is-a-revolutionary-act/
If the mindset of the climate-change-agenda-pushers is that cows are going to lead to our inevitable doom, then wouldn’t/shouldn’t this policy be a contradiction to their narrative? Aren’t ALL cows inherently evil??
I also appreciated your hypothesis that this could actually be part of a larger, diabolical plan to wreak havoc on our own domestic livestock industry- that was my first thought when I began reading your article.
The obvious solution to climate change caused by fossil fuels is to burn *more* fossil fuels by importing an animal that we can raise here. Liberal logic at its finest!
While hating cows and blaming them for cowfarts. But a few million cows put back on grass sequester more carbon than all the renewable energy boondoggles combined.
Fruit, vegetables, legumes (e.g. lentils and beans), nuts and whole grains (e.g. unprocessed maize, millet, oats, wheat and brown rice).
At least 400 g (i.e. five portions) of fruit and vegetables per day (2), excluding potatoes, sweet potatoes, cassava and other starchy roots.
Less than 10% of total energy intake from free sugars (2, 7), which is equivalent to 50 g (or about 12 level teaspoons) for a person of healthy body weight consuming about 2000 calories per day, but ideally is less than 5% of total energy intake for additional health benefits (7). Free sugars are all sugars added to foods or drinks by the manufacturer, cook or consumer, as well as sugars naturally present in honey, syrups, fruit juices and fruit juice concentrates.
Less than 30% of total energy intake from fats (1, 2, 3). Unsaturated fats (found in fish, avocado and nuts, and in sunflower, soybean, canola and olive oils) are preferable to saturated fats (found in fatty meat, butter, palm and coconut oil, cream, cheese, ghee and lard) and trans-fats of all kinds, including both industrially-produced trans-fats (found in baked and fried foods, and pre-packaged snacks and foods, such as frozen pizza, pies, cookies, biscuits, wafers, and cooking oils and spreads) and ruminant trans-fats (found in meat and dairy foods from ruminant animals, such as cows, sheep, goats and camels). It is suggested that the intake of saturated fats be reduced to less than 10% of total energy intake and trans-fats to less than 1% of total energy intake (5). In particular, industrially-produced trans-fats are not part of a healthy diet and should be avoided (4, 6).
Less than 5 g of salt (equivalent to about one teaspoon) per day (8). Salt should be iodized.
This is intentional. US government wants to destroy livestock farmers and force us to eat bugs.
Sure looks that way to me.

Exactly. Or worse. Tyson, JBS, Bayer and Syngenta are all "members" of the WEF.

The packer always finds a way to screw the producers
The milk processor and granary likewise. Predators preying on farmer and consumer alike. It is not sustainable....
Just keep up the good fight.

Agreed. But I'm just a paranoid conspiracist.
lol.... :)

Thanks for commenting!
The Biden administration must have the best and brightest minds working on yet more creative ways to take down the cattle industry. Damn.
lol.
Dumber than stupid, you mean.....

Foot in mouth and Tongue in cheek... bad, not good.
When they said we need to eliminate cows, they meant it.
