Cereals suck!

I agree Sawbones. Basically we all
stagger at the $100,000,000 price tag
but that is peanuts when we look at the
volume the plant can do. A new plant
to do 500 a day is around $20,000,000
(I know I own one).
By consolidating the price pressure on
inputs (cows) can offset market
development costs.
The packing plant is not the challenge,
it is the operation and marketing.

As per usual, your industry leadership directs the governments actions and inactions on the beef industry in Canada. Those producers that are and have allowed this to happen had ample opportunity to bid into their own destiny however choose to let the opportunity to shorten the supply chain pass. Your Buddies at XL and Cargill are just doing business and making money any way they can even at your expense.
The food industry across Canada is falling apart, one sector at a time!
