Flying off the shelves in the Bay

either people aren't feeling poor yet or bay areians never feel poor.  but this seems to validate; consumers switch to less expensive foods in a recession.

Not sure it's the expense as much as shelf stability. I'm not going to eat a frozen longbone.

i grew up on frozen beef, you sonofabitch.

Live cattle futures are mostly owned by managed money funds and are traded by algorithms. Following equities down.

Not nice to talk bad about your folks.  That's your future inheritance, so tread lightly.

Don't need to be sorry to anyone but your folks.

that's a thumbs up for the landed gentry, thumbs down for the corrupt financiers and greedy industrialists from ol' katdaddy.

You do realize corp. farms produce over 90% of the products that we consume.  Ya, eff small farms and ranches; they're just in the way of big time money with fixed pricing. 

[sys]

you're an interesting person, katdaddy.

Creepy early morning stroll through the fog at the cat ranch.

[ben ji]

Cat ranch or the set of the walking dead?

[michigancat]

who painted the danger keep out sign?

[ben ji]

who painted the danger keep out sign?

My dad of course "Its for insurance, in case someone comes on the farm and is snooping around and the barn collapses"

He really thinks people are just crawling all over the place when he isn't here.

I think it might be speculation packing plants will shift to smaller crews and not be able to process as much. That wouldn't lower prices at the store (would increase them if people don't change consumption habits), but it would lower prices that ranchers get, since they would have more beef than can be processed.

[steve dave]

Also you really can’t just sit on your live cattle and wait for the market to come around

CRISIS ON THE CAT RANCH!

My dad let Lil Lil roam around this afternoon "to meet up with the Tom" but she still has not shown back up at the house. This is the latest she has been out after dark and my dad walked the entire windbreak/farm building area twice but has not found her.

Please keep Lil Lil in your prayers tonight.

[steve dave]

if she doesn't return please list your pops reasons she didn't come back.

ie:

juvenile mtn lion
badger
etc.

Definitely, although at this time we are still TP'ing.
