U.S. Cattle Inventory Smallest in 73 years
Feb 2024

USDA’s January and July Cattle Inventory reports, released toward the end of each respective month, provide the total inventory of beef cows, milk cows, bulls, replacement heifers, other steers and heifers, and the calf crop for the current year. With drought and high input costs compelling farmers to market a higher-than-normal percentage of female cattle, the most recent cattle inventory dropped to lows not seen in decades. This Market Intel will provide analysis of the Jan. 1 inventory, which will set the tone for cattle markets in 2024.

So, who was President in Feb 2024?
Theoretically, Biden.

Notice how beef herds rebounded under Trump 1.0??

NOT A TRUMP PROBLEM, NOT A TARIFF PROBLEM.

Man, you've got Trump Derangement Syndrome bad, THUGR.
Are you gonna answer my two questions about the Dem shutdown and the ACA?

Your long winded posts with you latching on to something, and completely getting it wrong are classic Signym. The other reasons you quote for high beef prices don't mean shit. This is not complicated. You don't need graphs or water shortage statistics to figure out what Trumps tariffs are doing. First, you have the price of something, in this case beef, add the cost of the tariff onto the product. In this case beef.

Even a child knows if you add 25% to the cost of something, then its cost goes up 25%. I'm laughing here because this is so simple. Again, even a child knows if American companies are paying the 25% tariff, some of that cost is passed onto the consumer; still laughing. By the way, in America it is called a tax. Trump raised everyone's taxes by raising the cost of everything they buy.

I can't believe how much time and energy you've put into two pages of this thread, arguing and defending Trumps tariffs. All the while saying they aren't killing American companies and consumers. He raised the price of everything, for business and consumer alike that has a tariff attached to it. Which is everything.

By how much did he raise our taxes? By the different tariff amounts attached to each product you buy or pay for. And more and more of those higher prices being picked up by our companies are passed onto us. I'm still laughing comrade, not really. This is a fucking nightmare.

Now, a tariff adds that amount onto the cost of a product. Regardless of other factors that may increase a price. A 25% tariff adds 25% to the cost. It's a sales, a consumption tax on the consumer. There's nothing to debate lass. If you think there is, ask a child to explain it to you.

And just a reminder. Trump is giving 2 trillion dollars in tax breaks to the top .01 percent. Where is he getting the money to replace his tax cuts for the rich? From tariffs, i.e. sales, consumption taxes of course. Also, by denying healthcare to millions, cutting NASA's budget by 47%, and so on and so on.

You know it takes a real moron to give an idiot an important job. And you did just that.

Next topic...

The topics are from your list of things that Trump has done or is doing that I find fault with. Tariffs are one. I told you how they were hurting America. You like to muddy the waters, confuse things. Lecture me on Tariffs, blame other things for price increases. All of which avoids the facts about the tariffs.

After what seemed like a lifetime of explaining, you became defensive because I’m right. That, and because you call me son, I call you lass; too funny. So next, I broke it down to keep it as simple as possible. You became more upset.

It looks like I’ll have to break it down even further. Just so you can’t wiggle out and pretend you weren’t checkmated.

Tariffs have nothing to do with anything else that may also be driving up costs. We’re talking only about what Trumps tariffs are doing

A 25% tariff increases the price of the product by 25%. A sales tax.

That cost increase is shared by the seller and consumer. Explain how I am wrong.

You see, this is where your stupidity comes in.
Instead of ASKING "Are tariffs hurting America?" and trying to see if they are, someone has told you that it is a "fact" and you swallowed it whole.

I looked for evidence ... evidence that YOU specifically cited... in inflation, business failures, and beef prices... and found nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nada.

So instead of insisting over and over again that "tariffs are hurting America", go find EVIDENCE ... numbers, facts, figures ... that prove your point.

Go! Fetch!

Have prices increased by 25% since tariffs went into effect? Yes, or no. And don't count Bidens inflation.
