[QUOTE="bball, post: 1597222, member: 23752"] So, what happens when many of the seniored producers, (that may be on the bubble of pulling out or retiring to stop the hemorrhaging) say to heck with it. I'm done!(we have already seen a few posts like that in this very board). Who is going to fill those shoes? Who is going to keep on attempting to produce or background cattle in this country? If this board is ANY indication, there are just a handful of folks under the age of 30 that have any desire or interest? I know locally, there are no youngsters grinding in the producer/backgrounder game, except one kid in his 20s that his father has set up very nicely. Is the beef industry dying? Most of the cattlemen I know personally are in their 60s or older yet. This imbalance will be enough to push many of the "seasoned" producers out for good i fear. Then what happens? We just import everything i suppose. A nation filled with consumers; waiting for the next carrot to be dangled? [/QUOTE]
