[QUOTE="Sir Loin, post: 991913, member: 5601"] Reprint: Re: The beef cattle market over the next 10 years by Sir Loin » Tue Jan 15, 2013 9:35 am Thanks guys, that is pretty much the same as I saw it, up until about November when I starting asking myself “ why am I seeing white cows in pastures that have been all black for the past 20 years“. In my area it was rare to see anything other then black Angus. Then I ran across a post over on the “think tank” titled “ The bloom is off the rose”. In short the concusses of opinion was/is that demand has shifted from quality to quantity and CAB is on its way out. It was/is further agreed: US inventory of beef cattle will continue to decline as will the demand for prime beef, while demand for choice beef cattle will remain constant or go up. Beef cattle prices, for prime beef cattle will go down, while choice cattle prices will remain the same or go up. Consumer prices for beef will go up slightly but be packaged in smaller quantities and/or new cuts will keep consumer prices constant per meal. Dairy industry beef prices will go down. With that in mind I now know why staunch black Angus breeders are now crossing their Angus with Chars. Simply put: They are now willing to give up quality for quantity to increase profit by producing a larger animal of lesser quality. Makes perfect sense to me. How about you? SL [/QUOTE]
