slimcake, do you have a home for all of them? it sounds like you work in the AG industry so Im sure you deal with a lot of farmers, I'd be willing to pay for processing or whatever the cost is to process one and give the meat to a farmer you may know that is really struggling with all of this or to a family that has either lost their business or job as result of whats going on, let me know if there is something I can help you guys with this.

good opportunity for folks that have the ability to butcher a animal to fill up their families freezers. Good luck getting a spot at a local butcher right now. My wife hit up Sam's and Aldi's today and meat was gone! only thing she said that was left was some expensive cuts at Sams, so people are already panic buying. I find it hard to believe that there are people out there that are against the executive order to keep food processors open

I think everyone wants to see our meat processing plants open. They just want them opened safely and some precautions taken to protect the workers. If they have to close for a couple of weeks to install plexiglass dividers between the workers and sanitize the plant so be it. It is time these companies wake up and face the music. I can't really feel for you if you have to go without your porterhouse steak for a couple of weeks.
Farmers should be compensated for any loss caused by disruption in the supply chain. If we can bail out the airlines we can bail out the farmers. Right now in MI if a farmer loses any cattle to wolf attacks they are compensated.
It is kind of ironic that suddenly the illegal immigrant has become one of our most essential workers.

X2 I don't have connections with any hog farmers, but if you know someone who is willing to sell I could take 2. Was at the store last night and almost all pork products were gone. Send me a pm if you know someone. I'll bring them cash.
Provisur by any chance?

In the meantime nurses are having their shifts cut because because THERE ARE NO PATIENTS to take care of.
Approximately 50,000 deaths from cancer every month in the U.S. But our government still allows cigarettes to be sold, why? But they say the lock downs are to keep people safe from the virus,,, O yea, well that’s your opinion man!
So 709/day.
How many, or what percentage, were already laying on their death bed in LTC facilities?
And if you go by 2017 statistics, where an AVG of 7,708 people die EVERY DAY, that's 2,810,500 deaths/year.
Yet we have as one example, St. Joseph's Hospital in Brainerd, MN, 30 beds occupied, where a normal census is 75/day, with ZERO Covid-19 cases.
What do you think will happen to that staff in the coming weeks? Yup, laid off, just like Children's Hospitals of MN did today, 17% of nurses being furloughed.

No opinion expressed. Just two facts.
LOL, you obviously have never seen the movie The Big Lebowski? Otherwise you would have understood the statement. It was just thrown in to lighten up the subject. Carry on....
Same - even though we know what our opinions are.
