From the “Where’s the beef” files – cattle and calf numbers for the US down from 94.4 million pre-C19 scamdemic to 87.2 million – calved inventory down from 40.7 million head to 37.6 million head

“All cattle and calves in the United States as of January 1, 2020 totaled 94.4 million head, down slightly from the 94.8 million head on January 1, 2019. All cows and heifers that have calved inventory at 40.7 million head, down 1 percent from a year ago.”

“All cattle and calves in the United States as of January 1, 2024 totaled 87.2 million head, down 2 percent from the 88.8 million head on January 1, 2023. All cows and heifers that have calved inventory at 37.6 million head, down 2 percent from a year ago.”
At that rate of decline there will be no cattle left by 2070!
Here is a link to the Department of Agriculture web site for Farms.
It says this:
“USDA works everyday to strengthen the American agricultural economy. Despite the difficult economic climate of the past years, our efforts - coupled with the 2008 Farm Bill, the Recovery Act, and the hard work and resilience of America's farmers and ranchers - are helping American agriculture lead the nation's recovery. We maintain a strong and appropriate safety net for America's farmers, ranchers and growers which includes assistance to struggling industries, disaster assistance, and crop insurance, and provide technical assistance, access to credit, and help producers implement conservation practices.”
Note the term “access to credit” – and note the billions of dollars “forgiven” to well off students for the loans they took for the education – an education that others could not afford or who have paid back - and loans now being paid off by those who could not afford or who paid back their loans. Talk about triple jeopardy!!! People that lost out or who did the right thing in paying back student loans are paying for those (well-off) students who “stole” the loan!
Keep that concept in mind after you watch the short video linked at the end of this article.
Next extract from Farming | USDA
“To ensure that America remains the world leader in crop production, we conduct cutting-edge agricultural research. And to build a stronger agricultural economy for future generations, we work to improve both domestic and international markets, to create new income opportunities - like renewable energy - for America's producers, and to grow the next generation of American farmers.”
And there it is “like renewable energy” – new income opportunities – off with whatever you are farming and in with conversion of your land to forests of wind turbines 400 foot tall plus plantations of solar panels. Never mind abut any aquifers or whether you could have retired all your debt with the money. This is the politics of the Cult of Moloch! “Welcome to the Borg, resistance is futile, you will be assimilated”.
What would the price of beef be if cattle farms/ranches were given the access to the capital given to the billions given to brainwashed students, criminal immigrants and eco warriors supporting the Cult of Moloch – you know, plentiful and higher quality meat, because of better feedstuffs and water plus easier and cheaper slaughtering, better prices from “farmers markets” rather than from supermarkets?
How for that video (h/t Sherman)
Virginia farmer sounds off on threat to industry: 'We're facing extinction' (youtube.com)
Listen to this man.
Will Biden provide the 5 billion promised to small farmers? Begging third world countries for food???
He discusses tagging of cattle using 15 million bucks of tax dollars.
“Virginia farmer John Boyd Jr., weighs in on a watchdog's satellite tracking methane emissions and a provision in the omnibus bill that allocates funds for electronically tracking livestock.”
Now return to those student loans and “alternative income stream” assistance for “renewable energy”.
No loan forgiveness for farmers/ranchers – but loan forgiveness for richer students? Cattle numbers declining – less profit for farmers/ranchers. Farmers/ranchers vote Republican and not for the anti-huma Democratic Party? All about politics.
Fun fact – a pound of beef has 93 grams of protein (the same amount is claimed for bugs ad larvae) – a pound of soya beans has 31 grams.
Onwards!
