Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[maury]

Train Guy, re: glut now, shortage later. This arises
from usual market responses in terms of breeding. Old
rule used to be 6 months from breeding to pork on the
table; 2 years for beef. When hog production becomes
less profitable, then breeding stock gets liquidated
leading to later shortages -- and the beat goes on <g>
