On The Rise

<a href="http://www.cattlenetwork.com/content.asp?contentid=204261">Korea: Beef Consumption Projected To Increase</a><br />n<br />n<blockquote>Beef consumption is projected to continue to increase in 2008 as it did in 2007 due to higher domestic production. Prices dropped slightly in 2007 due to the availability of U.S. beef from May to October and this contributed to an increase in consumption of beef from all origins.</blockquote><br />n<br />nSo, even though they bitch about US beef, it helped their market out. It would be nice to get more activity in the beef export markets. Anything to stimulate a little demand. With high feed prices everybody in the cattle industry is hurting and it's only going to get worse. One of the solutions is to increase demand. The other of course is to reduce supply which would put some cattle producers out of business. I like the demand increase better.<br />n<br />n<strong>A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder. Thomas Carlyle </strong>
