And if all the folks who talk about these prices would buy from a local producer, not much of it would matter
If all the folks raising beef would market it locally and take control of their product, not much of it would matter

Folks will talk about how they care about where the food they eat comes from until it’s a nickel cheaper not to, well they’ll still talk the talk while they walk right on into wal mart

Most producers will still depend on the auction because it’s easier and the don’t wanna fool with it.

I sell out of beef and pork right now faster than I can grow it because I sell an excellent product at a good profit and lower than market, I’m the greatest thing since sliced bread with the best product anyone buying it has ever had. I’m also under no illusion that 75-80 percent of those people won’t run right back to Walmart if I’m a nickle higher when prices drop while they tell their friends how they just wanna feed the family the best product available
