Mortality rate has got to be part of the problem also, I'm sure. What with more and more cows showing up at the slaughterhouse and being rejected for diseased condition, cancer eye, no hoofs, downers, or all the cows that die even before they are shipped to the slaughterhouse for the same...

I certainly don't disagree with you. I don't think there is one answer to this question. I agree, global markets, ( supply and demand ) and global competition can affect our inventory. In looking at those numbers, one thing/question that comes to my mind is: Are dairy cattle included in those...

As expected,  here comes the government's attempt at a cover up. “ NOT DULY ALARMED “ ? Try telling that to the parents of the children who have been paralyzed for life!! CDC is 'not unduly alarmed' by cases of a polio-like illness in California February 27, 2014...

You people obviously know little about a cow/calf operation. FYI, a calf is born with enough passive immunity and nourishment to last him for over a week. I agree! Not “automatically “ no. But when you have 100 cows on 400ac, and over have the cows have calves, and momma won't come to her calf...
