I don't blame the ranchers. They do the most work and take the most risk.
Yet they have been getting shafted for decades.
Consolidation is the problem. Only four companies own 80% of the beef processing in our nation.
That's not right.
I hope these ranchers are successful. There needs to be more competition. Capitalism that's not properly regulated has been allowed to create another monopoly in our nation and it's hurting the nation.
The price of beef is ridiculous. Cows are very abundant. There is really no reason for such high prices beyond greed.
Full disclosure, I don't eat beef. I have never liked the taste or smell of it.
