[QUOTE="LCCattle, post: 1342484, member: 23661"] Dun, The trimmings can still be used as it is now, but it can not have a USDA grade on it and therefor can not be sold in the US, but can be exported . That was the only solution we came up with that was fare to the packers, beef producers and dairymen, as it allows prices for beef and packers profit to continue as now, plus it helps dairymen to market their meat products. IMO that is meeting both parties half way as it still helps the dairy industry market their product while at the same time maintaining the profit margin for both the beef cattle producers and the packers. Although it still leaves the beef industry subsidizing the dairy industry which is in direct competition with them, the higher quality meat being exported should help the beef industry as a whole. The only other option is to throw the dairy industry under the bus and let them figure out how to market their inferior beef product with a USDA grade on it and let the trimming go out the back door as do entrails and downers. Or, they can cull them from the dairy herd and feed them out as do beef producers at their expense and produce some fat on their own cattle. [/QUOTE]
