This should be great for us beef producers. Argentine will open their market to us.

The trouble is that Argentine is in the middle of a depression. They can barely afford their own beef. I seriously doubt they will be buying much of ours.

Can we grow cattle for 50 cents a pound to compete?

 

[kenny thomas]

Looks like their beef will start rolling north soon. I can't produce for.50 can you?

I already am.

Another boneheaded decision on my part to wait till next week to ship calves. Atleast the buyers will have to be looking after the calves while we're off skiing for Christmas.
Someone needs to tell the POTUS that we produce plenty of beef in the
US of A to feed our people.

Can they really?

Anything under a buck for calves is tight and that is putting very little back into the cattle/farm. There are fixed expenses that have to be met. It beats working for GM. Recon the price will come down in stores and restaurants?

Now wait a minute, I thought he was the second coming of Christ?

I thought we were already buying their beef? It must just allow us to sell to them?

Argentina crushes the US on cost to raise beef. The big guys like the KR and many other all have huge ranches down there. The labor and land are cheap. Its the perfect climate... and you can hop on a plane and be there in no time from the US.

Naw he's human and can't be perfect all the time. I'm all for the tariffs, getting trade back in our favor and not selling out our country because we're perceived as well off. The stuff our POTUS has done has been expensive to those of us that don't believe in trading paper. But I appreciate what he's trying to do for our country and he's definitely trying to MAGA.

Been buying frozen beef for a while this will be fresh beef. JBL SA a Brazilian company pretty well controls the beef processing here in the USA. They may be the company behind all of the Argentine dealing. JBL bought Pilgrims pride several years ago after Bo's son run it into bankruptcy.

Importing our food and exporting our money makes a lot sense to some. Others countries have been pilfering the new world since 1492, why stop now.

Not to hear him tell it.... :cowboy:

He's definitely full of himself and not lacking in confidence.
