Huh?


I very seriously doubt that Walmart gives a rats ass about what bull semen get into their supply chain.

Let’s go Brandon.


Cheesy is right.

WalMart sells "Angus" beef for a premium, and have entered into the genetics game.

Cheesy was wrong. Looks like Walmart is partnering with 44 Farms (driven by it dozens of times, wife grew up 8 miles from it in Central Texas) and testing “their” genetics in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida.

I’d reckon we are a long long way from Walmart only selling meat that they’ve had their hands on the semen that produced the steer sold in all their stores though. Too many pounds of beef pass through their stores for that. But, they’ll keep going at it, driving the small producers out until they’re in control of that market as well.

Market's too big for that, I'm thinking.

I remember when McDonald's bought thousands and thousands of dairy Holstein steers, and fattened them on summer graze, then sent them to their own packing plants to be turned into hamburger.

They may have personally made enough to make it worthwhile, but even a big operation is just a drop in the bucket to nationwide demand.
