TennesseeTuxedo said:(Reuters) - Walmart Inc is taking control of the supply chain for Angus beef sold in some of its stores, cutting out meat processors as the company looks to offer higher quality products in an intensely competitive grocery industry.
“some of its stores”
Between the savings on sales commissions - brokerage fees and trucking that should add up to well over a $0.50 a lb savings for Walmart. My question is how much Angus influence is needed to qualify? And if you use 44 Farms bulls can your calves qualify to be sold to Walmart?Aaron said:TennesseeTuxedo said:(Reuters) - Walmart Inc is taking control of the supply chain for Angus beef sold in some of its stores, cutting out meat processors as the company looks to offer higher quality products in an intensely competitive grocery industry.

And keeping it's prices low-low-low.
In a few years, the rancher can write a book of how to cut costs to satisfy the Walmart market.
Premium beef at .50 less a lb than the rest of the market. The Walmart Way.
As most agricultural business the little man will be gone. The little man needs to realize that he is doing nothing but subsidizing the beef industry with other income and labor. Look at Walmart and the milk industry.jltrent said:This is starting to sound like the little man is out.

I really don't know anything about 44 Farms. But I do know a lot about Creekstone & they have customers world wide, stress humane treatment/handling, educate their customers & are very involved in our community. And they do bring a lot of their customers to our ranch - the whole Farm to Table thing. Plus the Director of Cattle Procurement is also part of a large family operation feedlot/finishing & they buy most of my calves.ALACOWMAN said:dont you have to use 44 Bulls...say I'm the only Cadillac dealer in the US..you want to drive a Cadillac,gotta go through me first..TCRanch said:And will be processed at Creekstone Farms Premium Beef.

Personally I'd have zero problem buying a 44 Farms bull or driving a Caddy.

Yes, in terms of expansion (including globaly). No, in terms of values & management. When they host customers it's truly down-home, get real, including the restaurant/ranch/feedlot/processing tours and a fabulous home cooked meal.hurleyjd said:Has there been a lot of change since new owners took over in 2017.
