SH, in regards to your long winded post to Rod on cow cutout, the fact remains that those packers who were shipping beef to the U.S. from Canada were making roughly the same amount on that beef as U.S. produced beef for the same type of animal. 

The producers in Canada were not getting the same price, however.

Canadian processors (Tyson and Cargill) were pocketing that difference. 

The details of individual cutout cow numbers do not detract from that fact, they just detract someone like you so you can make up packer arguments.

Why don't you use your arguments to help the producers out instead of the packers? 

Are you afraid someone will find out how much you get paid for your cattle?
