Brenna Grant

The packing plants won't be quite so hungry for animals with reduced capacity.

And then the question to Brenna Grant, the head of research for Canfax, was what's that going to do to calf prices, especially coming up with the fall calf run in a month or six weeks' time when that will start in earnest? And she says all indications are that calf prices in Canada are still going to be very high.

In fact, the suggestion is 20% higher than last year, and last year was record high.

So despite the disruption in the U.S. packing industry, projections are that the cow-calf sector in Canada is going to continue to do very well, and we hope that indeed comes to pass.

We also heard from NCBA, the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, who said, "NCBA is disappointed by the president's statement.

While America's cattle producers share the goal of keeping grocery prices affordable for consumers, flooding the market with government-subsidized below-market beef is not the way to rebuild the American cattle herd." Uh, earlier this week, I talked to Brenna Grant from Canfax talking about, you know, what's up with the rebuilding of the cow herd.

It is not exactly...

It, it showed signs, but i-it's, it's, it's pretty minuscule in the grand scheme of things, and there's a number of different reasons for that.
