[QUOTE="novaman, post: 711508, member: 2744"] The government certainly doesn't pay people to milk cows. That is why we sell milk to processors, so we get paid. There is a subsidy to boost the prices producers receive but that would keep cows from being slaughtered, not the other way around. The CWT program is designed to slaughter dairy cows from producers willing to get rid of the whole herd. This is not a government program though. We producers have money deducted from our paychecks for every pound of milk we sell in order to run this program. Of course the cows don't hang ou until they die. Dairy cows are still beef producing animals whether you like it or not. There always has been and always will be a steady flow of dairy cows going to slaughter just the same as you send your calves to be slaughtered. By the way, that cheap ground beef is going to stimulate demand. [/QUOTE]
