Higher beef prices have helped cattlemen and cattle ladies sell cull cattle off and that improves herds and productivity... But will also tighten available meat supply more as this year progresses... But it isn't inflation, it is market pricing adapting to change, don't ya know?... Glad to see some swollen rivers now that feed the Mississippi river which could help brings it's water levels back up... Which has hampered river shipping... Ai couldn't help that plight... So we watch...LJ
