    Will cattle go the way of hogs?

    Guys Bez+ has it figured out pretty close to what is actually going on. Our whole country has consolidated to take advantage of economies of scale. The first glitch in that scenario came this past year when the banking system buckled, and the stock market retreated. Let's face it corporate...
