Sandhusker, I'm sorry, but I just can't seem to grasp how DE-VALUEING DOMESTIC CHUCKS AND ROUNDS BY GRINDING THEM could possibly translate into more money for domestic producers.
My understanding of this issue is that all of those domestic choice cattle produce an EXCESS of 50/50 trim. So much so, that there is not enough DOMESTIC lean trim to blend with it ,without DE-VALUEING other lean cuts to obtain the amount of lean meat needed to ADD VALUE to all of the EXCESS 50/50.
BTW, I'm not yelling. The caps are for emphasis only.
