Packer Backer Super Hero says -

Gee wiz Gopher trapper, you're the one whining about those added costs involved in getting cattle from Canada to the American plants.

It's more like POOR YOU Gopher man. Can't make a living from the industry he supposedly knows so much about; so he has to trap gophers. :lol:

My attitude is that there are problems with this industry from the grassroots up. Your figures concerning packer profits are laughable, but if they were true, this industry is in a bigger mess than even I think.

Ranchers can't squeek out a living unless they become corporate welfare players or gopher trappers on the side, and the packing industry only makes $3.88 per head. :lol:  I laugh at that figure, but also wonder if we aren't heading to a complete soya meal diet if you and Agman are correct.

Can't change anything SH if you simply go along with the flow. Accept everything the packers do, and agree with Scott Huber's philosophy and we'll all be Trappin Gophers before long.
