We love our Farmers don't we folks.
He didn't say whose farmers. Didn't Trump give a pile of money to Argentina, last year.

I imagine that you do know what’s causing the American ranches problems isn’t the consumers but rather the packers having total control over what they allow ranches to get. While it’s not ideal to get that subpar quality coming from Argentina the thought is to add more supply outside of those packers. 300k tons sounds like alot until you start getting into the math part of American daily intake

My suggestion is to buy local when you can.


That's what we are doing for now. I plan to get a few head of cattle and raise my own beef. We only buy grass fed beef that are not jacked full of hormones, antibiotics and other meds.

That is about as tone deaf as you can get.

Is Argentinian beef a superior product?



Over our corn fed beef? Actually yes. Better for you. Much better for you and better for the cows.

Grass fed? No, it's the same as our open pasture process.

Grain fed beef needs to no longer be a thing.

300 tons of ground beef to be imported without being tariffed and it is to be sold at 25% below market rate.

Beef is at an al time high and practically too expensive to be "what's for diner." If they are going out of business, they should be.

FWIW, 77 American cattle producers are leaving the business in the US per day. Most of those exits are d/t sales though, either land transactions or ranch sales consolidating herds with fellow producers. There were only 315 related Chapter 12 bankruptcies nationwide in 2025

Did you expect them to star cloning cattle? The supply of cattle takes time to build up. This purchase is a stop gap for the consumer

How about we blame Congress instead? They’ve had decades to fix the issues that force family farms out of business. It’s now more economical to sell the farm to a developer than it is to farm, but no one says a word about that.

Like it or not, the average family can’t continue to afford fricking hamburger at 14 or 15 dollars a pound. Want a couple steaks? Open up your fricking wallet because it’s now a luxury item… at some point families have to eat but it’s getting harder and harder when you have to pay 30 fricking dollars to cook a few burgers. And don’t get me started on the blend either. Most of the shite out there is 80 / 20 which means when you cook a few burgers 20 percent of it gets raked off in the damn trash because it’s fat. Want a leaner blend? Bend over and grab your ankles.

Argentina does have literally the number 1 steakhouse in the entire world, Don Julio, in Buenos Aires. They do have some incredible beef

It's really good, but better than American beef......debatable. I find that Argentines KNOW how to cook their meat.

Their best kept secret is their lamb though.

If we didn't have an over-lobbied Congress they'd be stepping up and making Tyson sell these facilities. End the monopoly.
