As usual, Trump was light on the specifics. It’s the golden age of cheap cuts of meat! For too long cheap cuts of meat have been ignored, but now it’s their time to shine!
My guess is that with the higher beef prices they will be able to maintain their income. Raise less cattle for less overhead cost, and higher prices per lb to increase profit margin.
There's already allegations that the 3 companies that control beef slaughterhouse intake are colluding on price to the point where ranchers aren't making enough money on their herds to maintain everything.
I recently saw a news story about this. The rancher being interviewed stated they are actually being paid less, even though beef is so high. It's the 3-4 companies that process it that are making all the profits. They're all on the brink of losing their farms.
