[QUOTE="Dega Moo, post: 1117365, member: 19930"] I've heard there's a disease or virus spreading that is killing a lot of piglets or causing them to have to be destroyed and depressing pork production. Along with reduced cattle numbers and exports of beef, pork and chicken there's not enough relief valve to regulate protein prices in the usual fashion. While we all love high beef prices I've heard several folks say this is the very best time to liquidate a herd. And it's nearly cost prohibitive to expand with cow and heifer prices at historic highs. I think we'll see at least three more years of these higher beef prices, unless the government opens up and encourages the import market. I believe we're going to see two distinct beef markets emerge: one based on hamburger and the other on higher end cuts and quality meat. Each market will require distinctly different herd management, development and marketing. We're trying to grow our herd at this time. [/QUOTE]
