Bullard: Stronger cattle prices cannot hide a vulnerable cow-calf sector (opens the original)

Some folks in Washington, D.C., believe last yearâs stronger cattle prices mean the cow-calf sector of the U.S. cattle supply chain is healthy. But prices alone do not tell us whether ranch families can afford to stay in business â or whether the next generation can afford to enter. The U.S. Department of Agricultureâs numbers over the past 15 years reveal a sector in a precarious position: fewer operations, fewer breeding cows, severe price volatility and years in which cattle prices bare

Bullard: Domestic beef supply chain on road to ruin (opens the original)

This is Exhibit 2, demonstrating severe market failure in the upstr
