[QUOTE="Margonme, post: 1375904, member: 25776"] I am serious that the "chickenization" of the cattle industry will diminish the premium for quality breeding. Meatpackers are not interested in EPDs, not if they can get "pounds" for one-third the expense. Stated in this excerpt from the OP on the "Why Beef Prices Went Down" thread: [b]This unprecedented investigation is our last best chance to stop the multinational meatpackers from capturing control over our live cattle supply chain through vertical integration. They already accomplished this capture in both the poultry and hog industries. We call the processes of capturing control over livestock supply chains “chickenization.” So, this is our last chance to stop the meatpackers from chickenizing our cattle industry. We hope you will help us.[/b] [/QUOTE]
