I know you wouldn't care where the cattle went MLA, that's why I said it. You however said they could move 2000 miles to contradict my statement that they couldn't move ALL their kill 2000 miles to manipulate the market in either the East or West.

Yes cattle can be trucked 2000 miles or more to slaughter, but a plant 2000 miles away can't compete for all the cattle in that area if there is a packer there, even if it is their own.

So again back to Better Beef and Cargill owning it, I don't see how it is a bad thing. The fact is they outbid the competition to buy it. They still have to outbid Tyson for cattle, and pay more than the Americans for Eastern cattle.

I am glad Better Beef is still operating instead of being mothballed.
