OCM: "Tyson, Cargill and Swift each buys a different kind of cattle. There is a little overlap, but not much. Tyson goes for yield, Cargill goes for grade and Swift is kind of in between."
That is ABSOLUTELY untrue.
One more baseless conspiracy theory to try to justify the packer blamer's anti competive - market manipulation brainwash.
All major packers pay premiums for choice cattle in a normal market (choice paid premium over select) and all major packers sell choice beef.
What planet are you from OCM? Wait, I think I just answered my own question.
Sandman are you really so dense that you cannot discern that packer price fixing (no competition between packers) WOULD NOT MANIPULATE PRODUCER PRICES???
Go ahead, if you are so stupid as to believe there is a difference between a packer price fix (competition between packers) and market manipulation to producer prices, LET'S HEAR IT!
How could anything be more elementary?
Watch the diversion folks .............
The PSA was most definitely initiated to maintain competition between packers BECAUSE A LACK OF COMPETITION BETWEEN PACKERS AFFECTS PRODUCER PRICES.
Only you would be so ignorant as to suggest that competition between packers is a seperate issue from producer concerns about market manipulation.
IF A DAMN PRICE FIX IS NOT MARKET MANIPULATION TO THE PRODUCER, WHAT THE HELL IS???
This is so typical of your strawman spin jobs on what would normally be a simple issue. Only you would think there is a difference between packer competition and market manipulation to producers.
The obvious is that we just saw a 50% - 60% advance in fat cattle prices in a single year WITH NO CHANGE IN PACKER BUYING PRACTICES.
MUST HAVE BEEN AN ILLUSION HUH PACKER BLAMERS?
Conman, your market manipulation conspiracy phychobabble is as worthless as your ability to discredit Jason. Jason has it figured out while you make sh*t up to sound impressive to yourself. Reality shows that you are the idiot that thought packers graded their own cattle and the idiot who thought packers trim lean carcasses. I have a hard time believing that you actually think anyone here takes you seriously anymore.
Nothing defines ignorance more than the inability to recognize ones own ignorance.
When you bring proof of market manipulation you will be taken seriously. Until then you are nothing more than an annoying vapor.
