I agree with your comments everybody wants to be a packer without planning. I built my small plant based on just the things in your comments. Planning is key I live in cow/calf country and no one even knows what a finished animal looks like. I have spoke with people in my country that want to build a 100 hd per day plant and the first question is where are you going to get the supply chain. Thier response is there are lots of cows here. I have tried to explain that it takes feed and time to get the right kind of cattle.
Exactly. I’m all for the idea, especially if it’s American owned, and they did the research. But I think the biggest deal is the location isn’t the greatest, and since it is supposed to be the biggest plant in the country, the big packer companies will go after them until they’re broke. There’s a reason there’s not a plant already in the area, but maybe this will bring one of the big 4 to the area. |
