Sounds to me other countries not importing American beef will be paying more not us.My town is surrounded by family run cattle ranches and they only complain about the drought we have not beef prices.

You might be surprised to find that frozen meat can last in the freezer for a long amount of time. ... And, believe it or not, some meats can last in the freezer for up to one year without suffering in quality. Freezer times: Cooked poultry — 4 months.Dec 11, 2017

Educate yourself....really and you would not look so....look so....look so.....not educated....


Do tell, where in your article that talks about things that are vacuum sealed?


I fully understand that meat does expire, even while frozen, but then you also have the ability to sell it farms for food....and the list goes on.....


Next....

Yep, your right.....I apologize.....


So you are hoping for this to happen, then?

Cheap meat at the expense of Trump supporters? Absolutely.

I did read the article, well at least the first two paragraphs. Good ol' paywall stopped me from the learning.

Meat is piling up in U.S. cold-storage warehouses, fueled by a surge in supplies and trade disputes that are eroding demand.

Federal data, coming as early as Monday, are expected to show a record level of beef, pork, poultry and turkey being stockpiled in U.S. facilities, rising above 2.5 billion pounds, agricultural analysts said.


If meat is going down in price my freezer will be full. I just hope there isn't a lot of waste.
