Tell me what good is it going to do to close slaughter plants in the US because they don't have enough cattle to slaughter.? The US slaughter industry have geared up over the years to handle the US and Canadian cattle. They has gone through the down turn in Cattle numbers in the US because of drought, but now there will be less coming to slaughter because the US herd is starting to rebuild and they see the Canadian cattle supply slipping away. Canada is increasing slaughter capacity and that is not what the US slaughter industry wants or needs as they know that will add to their competition for cattle and markets and cut out the need for some of the slaughter capacity south of the border. If they close those plants that means there is less competition for your cattle. Less competition results in lower prices.
