[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 1629083, member: 1715"] Local news covered plans to get slaughter back up to 80% of previous processing. Did not address what happens to the other 20% of the animals? One closed MN slaughter plant will not buy hogs, but has a small crew on that will render them for free. Producers have been holding back some cattle here, and dumping hogs. Huge butcher hog run consigned to our local barn next week. Had a call offering to buy meat if I would store it... Customer was trying to buy a second chest freezer and could not find one anywhere. Nationally we are a mess. Now getting test machines but not enough test supplies. Once we have supplies we will not have enough contact tracing. I understand we need to start reopening but there is not a coherent plan. Ingesting disinfectant while hoping for a vaccine is not a plan. So we need to think through what worst case looks like, and how to survive it. I am selling cows, buying heiferettes, and looking into a better outdoor grill. Could have a lot of 3 year old grass feds next year. :cowboy: Just hope they do not get as old as Hippy Rancher's. [/QUOTE]
