Tyson pres says cattle may have peaked forever

What do you think the odds are that goat will increase in consumption with rising ethanol production and foodstuff costs?
Interesting that Tyson a major producer of beef is mentioning a peak and well, we also know they are into goats too.

Could BLDV be onto something as well? A bit ahead of their times. Leaner meats like Goat and bio-fuels.

Tyson Foods president says cattle cycle 'may have peaked forever' because of ethanol

Recently we reported one major bank's opinion that the cattle market may no longer be cyclical. According to Tyson Foods president and CEO Dick Bond, the nation's cattle industry should brace for major reductions in herds, reports Mark Lefens of Meatingplace.com.

"Bond painted a new scenario for the U.S. beef industry where higher input costs force producers into a long-term herd reduction, packers reduce excess capacity and consumers pay more for beef," Lefens writes. "Bond singled out what he called the 'almost criminal' government mandates supporting ethanol production, which he said have doubled the cost of feed grains."
