Beef Shortage into 2013?

[ado089]

Grassfarmer, I don't know that we can
lay claim to the best beef in the world
anymore. It's among the best but there
isn't much difference from our beef fed
corn while living up to their knees in
shit compared to US beef fed corn while
living up to their knees in shit. Some
of the best beef I've had was in Chile
and Argentina. I will admit that I don't
care much for European or African beef.
We have a good product but if best is
the goal we still have some work to do.

Thats why I said we COULD produce the best beef in
the world. I didn't say we do.

Within 30 years, most of our meat will be manufactured in patria dishes.....

and go to
Moses Znaimer's ideacity, Part 3
also, the Roger Martin part is fascinating.

BEEF too high? How about 50,000 for a piece of wires, tin, plastic, and oh yes leather on wheals? How about a million dollar house? Why is it that anything a farmer produces when the price gets to cost of producing it considering the wages and cost of everything else it all of a sudden becomes too high?

You are right ASRG, won’t be use...they'll start with kids, wonderful colors, textures and grow a consumer.
At least it’s interesting stuff when you are going around and around on the combine.
Really found the financial part interesting....how giving out stock options messed up our investment structure.....say how it worked when we were given options in a sale of a company.....and certainly agree.

Isn't it obvious that any move to grow meat in a petrie
dish will result in even greater opportunities for those
of us producing a natural, healthy "traditional"
product. Bring it on I say - gives us an even easier
way to differentiate our superior product.

good attitude grassfarmer!

Beef is definately not pricing itself out of the market. Maybe I should not say this but I do buy from the local Sobies in which I believe the beef comes from out of province from Alberta.
The cuts I purchase are tenderloin, surloin, prime rib for a roast. Other than that since I don't buy the whole quarter etc I have to buy some ground meets. Beef is not expensive. I divorced a girlfriend I met cause she would not eat medium rare. Some people just don't know how to eat.
