[QUOTE="simme, post: 1742285, member: 40418"] Pretty easy to see the issues and concerns. But what are the solutions to poor cow/calf margins? Do some people need to get out of cow-calf operations or cut back to reduce the number of calves. Hoping to drive the price up. Should the government require the 4 major packers to sell a significant portion of their facilities. Cannot sell to one of the other 3. What would this do to calf prices short term and long term? Any effect on meat supply short term or long term? Who would the buyers be? Hedge funds and investment firms? Is more government involvement needed? Subsidies to cow/calf, tariffs on imports, production limits and quotas? Ban foreign ownership? What about other foreign owned manufacturing - Michelin, BMW, Toyota, Purina, Firestone, etc. I don't think the answers are easy. [/QUOTE]
