jensend- In answer to your question- I'm not sure that many people are aware of the amount of boxed beef coming across the border- and the amount of beef being imported totally into the US-- unless you follow it closely on these web sites or in some of the Ag publications, it isn't that big of a public story. Packers don't go out and advertise imported beef- instead they pass it all off as a US product.
I also get the feeling that most cattlemen in my area are aware that there are several factors influencing the calf and cow prices- but the closed border is the most visible and dominant one. Its more of a tangible you can see, where everything else is theory.
