"Riley says the embargo on Canadian beef and litigation to maintain the border closure are behind the trend toward higher prices. "It's time for these producers to stop focusing on their growing bank accounts and start focusing on the mothers and children that are struggling to afford beef." The AMI represents the meat packing industry and says beef prices will continue to rise if the United States doesn't resume live cattle trade with Canada. "

Unbelievable.   :shock:   Where are the usual self-proclaimed ferreters of the truth?  I thought our prices had very little to do with Canada. :???:

I guess it's impossible to be a packer-backer and lie detector at the same time.

I won't even say anything about the slam on the producers.
