It has always been family farms producing most of our US beef. Corporate ag won't afford the losses of beef when they can just have us absorb the losses, then work off farm to afford it. In case anyone wonders what farmers get, here's our last prices (Feb 19) at auction--slaughter cows ave .90 to .98 per lb, slaughter bulls at 1.09. There's no slack.
