Exit strategy is putting farmers on welfare, but that won't apply to anybody on CattleToday because it's well documented how CattleToday people don't take handouts.Bright Raven":35enf4uu said:That is not good. Beef producers are going to bear the burden of the tariff wars. I hope The Don has an exit strategy. He seems to be spending too much time on Tweeting or whatever it is.

2 billion (lbs in cold storage) divided by 13.7 million lbs consumed each day means we as a nation, only have 146 days worth of meat in cold storage.
Add in what we export, and that frozen storage total will dwindle quickly.

I must be confused. I thought the general consensus was that it isn't a handout if you are on the receiving end.
Hasn't much to do with low income earners , it has to do with the average family , the working poor are the biggest market , and when they have to make a decision on what to eat for dinner , and the bills are looming , it will be chicken or pork.Bright Raven":3eiklppc said:snoopdog":3eiklppc said:With wages adjusted for inflation having dropped for the third quarter in a row, What do you think the consumer will buy at the grocery store ?

Low income earners are already eating hotdogs and ramen noodles. I see whole families parked outside service stations eating hotdogs that have made more orbits on a spit than the earth has in 5 1/2 billion years. Inflation has been eating out lunch for the last 40 years. Can it get worse. Yep!
