I try to limit the amount of beef, pork and lamb I eat, because I don't think its good for my heart. I also do one vegan meal a week, too. I doubt there will be a shortage of beef soon. I have heard of these warnings in the past and they haven't panned out.

While their screaming we have to get rid of co2 does any one raise a hand and say but we need co2 the plants and trees need co2 to make oxygen. So while they cut back on co2 the planet slowly dies because there's not enough co2 (unless) a volcanoe goes off

Due to bad weather in the midwest last year a lot of people lost their herd due to lack of feed.

There is that much less beef around which is the explanation of the imports.

Expect beef prices to soar again!

Not that i care since i am a beef farmer myself. 🤗i raise black angus. Small-scale of course.

Black Angus are a good sturdy breed. My uncles family in E Texas also raise black Angus herds along with others. They have one of the biggest ranches in the area(Houston Co Texas) I spoke with my cousin last week and he says they have also had a problem with lack of feed but they are still bringing good numbers to market.

The market is good for those who made it. Glad that he was one of the lucky ones.

Not All of us who are NOT Leftists are screaming get rid of CO2 because we know that CO2 is needed to make 02 and that is what keeps the planet alive. There is progress being made by reducing CO2 emissions but it is being done correctly...slowly and not rushing headlong into environmental disaster by getting rid of all the CO2 that is ridiculous. SOme ideas of the left are inane and unreasonable...To those of my fellow liberals it's time to wake up and accept that yes there is a climate crisis. However things are getting better but it is a slow marathon not a sprint. We need to wean our selves from fossil fuels. While expanding use of available sources including nuclear power and even EV's especially commercial trucks.

I have eaten lots and lots of beef since I first got enough teeth to do so. I get plenty of exercise and my health is very good. The reason they have spread the lies about beef is because it can’t be mass produced like chicken and pork. There’s no way to push out the little guys. Except for the rare set of twins you get one calf per cow per year. They require a good amount of land and are very labor intensive. The lies are strictly for control of the population.

You could well have a point about push out the little guy..

not so long ago, lots of small hog producers, including me, in Minn and other ag states.. then it got to larger and larger number to compete for a market spot. now I know of no one near us that raises them other then two who only buy feeder pigs and raise a couple for themselves and family/friends..

Baloney.
I eat beef, steak, roasts, burgers, stew, any beef and I am as healthy as a Biden medical report from his "personal" doctor and I could give a Schiff less about my diet and the goddam environment.
I still run a 2:03 hall mile and a 4:22 mile and I am 79 years old.
Your lefty Diet/Environment concerns are as big a hoax as a Claudine Straight thesis.
Liar.

Damn. Anything over 100 yards away ,I'll drive. Or maybe ride a bike. As in a dirt bike. But riding them will keep you in shape too. Maybe when I'm 79 I'll run a mile just to time myself. But congratulations on your health.. May your blessings continue through out the new year and beyond. Stay well.
