and here stupid me though we were all in this mess together. This is ALL the Dairy industry's fault????? HOW?? What would not allowing a dairy breed to be processed for human consumption prove? What would it help? You do realise that a significant swath of the world might not eat beef at all if they didn't have 'dairy' beef... It's actually quite fine to eat if you process it correctly, and there's nothing wrong with eating meat from a healthy dairy cow despite the crap that's been promoted over BSE.
As far as the economic end of things go today on cull dairy cows... It's like this: A good cow is worth about 200 bucks here. A poor one about 50 bucks and a shell isn't worth putting on a truck. That's the same for a cull 'beef' breed. Prices on fat cattle aren't great but they're still 5 times that... so there's going to be a lot of old cows going to the woods if these cull prices continue. It's already happening in areas where it costs too much to transport a cow to slaughter. There have been many instances here where the auction barn paid the trucker for trucking a cow in to the sale here, didn't get enough to cover the cost of the trucking and then sent a bill to the seller for the outstanding amount. People get cured of that quick. Cow goes to woods or gets buried. Much cheaper that way.
