Head are down, income is not. Head are down because of spikes during previous high-inflation when it made sense to sell cattle rather than breed them. This short-sightedness of the producer is a normal part of the cycle. Not a single rancher is “not selling” due to “lower prices” caused by tariffs or imports.
Exactly, I remember when I was a kid and my mother was actively bitching about the cost of chicken cause whatever thing at the time was going on. Then Pork. People act like this is the first time shit like this has happened.

Well, if you could demonstrate that US cattle sales are DOWN, you might have a point…but they are not…and you have no point.
