I don’t know if it’s the cause or a part of it but JBS is crooked as fuck and their major shareholders should be in jail.  See Operation Carwash and associated bribery scandals.
 

 

LOL!  Corruption?  Nah, couldn't be.  Look at Mr. Accountability here.

People that buy Wagyu ground beef once are the ones that say this…. In that case, they would be right actually.

Wagyu is overrated. The people that obsess over it don’t know shit about good meat and just tout its merits because it’s expensive.

Sorry.

I'm an excellent cook and pick perfect cuts. You are wrong. My meat will melt in your mouth.

We just sold a bunch of yearling steers and heifers weighing 500-650lbs for $300-$375/cwt. Averaged about $1950 ea which is really nice for us small scale cow/calf operations.

The futures market continues to be nuts, locking limit higher across the board, 2 days after putting in fresh lows for the move, and after a sharp down move in early action. We are almost back to cash so maybe it calms down there.

Bringing their cattle with them?  What the fuck?  Not to mention that he and his cronies shut down the very successful program that had screwflies bottled up in Panama.  Does he think that insects don't cross borders unless they are smuggled?  Dumbest bunch of motherfuckers alive.

Hearing a lot of chatter this week that some feeders dug in their heels a little too much on selling and now we got some 1800-1900 pound steers that won't fit a packing line. That being said we might run 600K through this week which will be the biggest week in awhile so will see if the lots can get current, and the packers can move enough beef to get current.

I got my babies weaned. They’re starting to get their appetites back.

I love reading your updates but don’t understand half of the jargon. Do you literally mean they can’t get some cows inside of…a chute or something?  And it’s because they let them grow too big trying to get a higher price?

You will literally bend the the chain and hook line the animal goes down to be disassembled. The animal is gaining everyday under full feed, and guys really started to see dollar signs and went for it. Flip side is the packers paid up to keep going which encouraged them, and then didn't get all the meat moved as we came out of summer demand and now have to move a perishable product into ham and turkey holidays.

I’ll be damned. The more you know. 
 

So do you butcher the overweight cows by hand somewhere else or something?

It always warms my heart to see red cattle, as someone who grew up around a lot of red Gelbvieh before the Balancer stuff really took off.

A local locker can probably handle them, but not very fast.
