The O’Keefe Media Group went undercover at CattleCon in Nashville, Tennessee, and exposed how Tyson, JBS, Cargill and National Beef secretly control America’s beef market.
In November, President Trump said cattle prices were falling while beef prices kept rising and launched an investigation into price manipulation.
Trump directed the DOJ to investigate the meat packing companies who are driving up the prices through illicit collusion, price fixing and price manipulation. The O’Keefe Media Group went undercover at CattleCon and ranchers spilled the beans on how the “Big Four” control the beef industry.

This doesn't surprise me in the slightest. These companies are set up to hire almost exclusively illegal aliens in their Kansas meat cutting operations.
The right thi g to do is send ICE outto Garden City. Of course, the local politicians are getting paid to look the other way, so they'll act like the Minnesota Dems, I'm pretty sure.

This country is drowning in a swamp of crime. Is it even savable?

For anyone involved with farming, ranching, meat, eggs or milk production this has never been a secret...i started with Tyson and Chickens, there is really no such thing as an "Independent" chicken farmer anymore, there area few massive agricorps that own all of the chicken, the processors, the freezers, the transportaion and the outlet sales...Farmers get paid to feed those corporate birds, hogs has become much the same, Chinese money owns much of both...of the four giant beef corps, two are Brazilian, one is Canadian.Theygotta an even bigger share when Covid restrictions shut down the reseraunts...Cattle growers had to sell off at a massive loss, rather than feed those cows past the size/age those buyers would purchase. We still have the lowest number of cattle, cattle on feed of practically anytime in history, and that will not change until ranchers can start keeping heifers back to breed rather than sell as beef.. On the plus side, ranchers, farmers, hay and grain growers DID just buy an independent processing plant in the upper midwest, several other groups are forming to buy some mid sized feedlots, buying direct from Farm is getting easier with the reductions in regulations Trump has implemented.

Beef prices went up way higher in price than most everything and hasn't come down like a lot of the other agriculture products. Looks like we found out why.

Our Agricultural industry should have NO "Publicly Traded" corporations involved where "privately owned" farms and ranches had once sufficed. With only few big corporations controlling our food supply and we'll be well on the way to seasonal "price fixing" with "planned shortages" and "supply-chain disruptions" boosting commodity prices just in time to insure the "C-Suite" get their quarterly bonuses.

Yes, there is greed and collusion but there is also investor involvement. Do you have a 401k or other investments? Do you expect a high return? You can't get that without high profits.We pay higher prices for higher return on our investments. As usual it has a regressive impact

Selling thousands of acres of good grazing land to the Chinese certainly didn't help. In flyover country, one can buy beef, chicken and pork from local farmers and prices have come down by 10-20%. Chicago meat packing houses used to be the butt of jokes when somebody could yell Migra! and the building would be empty within two minutes. Prices are also affected when they are forced to pay crooked unions. I am certain that Trump will fix all of it.

I posted the other day how one chicken producer, FarmerFocus, halal slaughters all their chickens. I don't want my meat slaughtered in this manner but they do not provide you with an option. I wonder how much of our meat is being halal slaughtered and we don't even know about it. Of course, in my small town here in Virginia, we have a halal slaughterhouse. The conditions those animals are maintained in until killed is horrific, but the local liberal elite think it is so diverse that we have such a facility out here. sigh

Call them before Congress, Rep. Comer is sure to straighten them out. He might even write them a strongly worded letter!

agree with -4-. my pre-school inventory solution was to name all our cows, and chat them up.
this way they could not get lost.
our cows would always come home.

We buy our beef, a side each year, from our ranching family in eastern Colorado. The quality and flavor of the beef is vastly better than what is sold at the grocery stores and is hormone-free. And a heck of a lot cheaper even after we provide a sizable gratuity to our farming family for their hard work to raise beef livestock.
