With beef prices continuing to skyrocket, demand has shrunk and forced many of the largest food producers to import cheaper alternatives. Tyson Foods is among those who have been “squeezed” into not only importing more but also exporting less.
Tyson CEO Donnie King in August warned low cattle inventories were leading to difficult export market conditions. The U.S. beef cow herd in January was the smallest since 1962. As a result, imported beef products found in grocery stores and restaurants are on the rise.
“We’ll never accept imported beef,” said Jason Nelson, a disabled veteran and co-founder of survival beef company USA Beef Boxes. “We want the beef we sell to Americans to be born, raised, slaughtered, cooked, freeze-dried, and packaged right here in the United States.”
The trend to import beef has been accelerating this year due to many factors. And unfortunately, the proposed rule change to labeling beef as “Product of USA” is still only being considered. Imported beef can still be falsely labeled if it’s imported but processed in the United States.
According to Agriculture.com, the decline in cattle numbers, after years of drought fried pasture lands used for grazing, led to soaring U.S. beef prices. Higher prices incentivize companies to import cheaper beef and discourage U.S. beef purchases by buyers like China, Japan and Egypt.
Analysts expect lower demand for U.S. beef and higher costs for cattle to translate into negative quarterly margins for Tyson’s beef business, its largest unit, for the first time this year. The company, one of four processors that slaughter about 85% of U.S. grain-fattened cattle, reports fourth-quarter earnings this month.
“Well, no offense to Tyson but I wouldn’t get my beef from them anyway,” Nelson said. “Both my family and my company get all of our beef from local ranchers that we’ve vetted our personally because only then can we trust the sourcing.”
It isn’t just about being patriotic, Nelson noted. There are many health considerations in play because imported cattle have a higher chance of being poorly fed, mistreated, and diseased.
“I’ve actually ‘met’ many of the cows we’ve had slaughtered,” Nelson said. “They’re roaming the fields of Texas, eating nutritious pasture grass and avoiding the pestilence that’s present in herds across the globe.”
Concerns over the future of meat in general and beef in particular have prompted many Americans to stock up on long-term storage food. USA Beef Boxes launched last year with this in mind.

I better not find out that they are putting this slant eye crap in China beef in our grocery stores, if so I’ll buy any more of this crap. You have to watch for anything you buy at any store and I check and if it is from another country, I’ll throw it on the floor.
Just about every business has sold out to China Ray..
I was surprised that Burger King is now owned by China, so I don’t eat there.
Vaseline is another China owned company.
Alot of your canned goods are from China, three days ago June 2nd, I got very sick after eating Libeys canned corn, it didn’t dawn on me that they are owned by China.

China is our enemy, but let’s turn over the beef industry to them, along with the manufacturing of virtually everything. If the government gets out of the way and allows capitalism to work, there would be nothing we would need to purchase from them. A decent wage is available for manufacturing products when shipping across miles of oceans are not needed Who would have thought that the beef industry would be taken over by the Chinese. Does anyone remember the cattle ranches after the civil war in the west. Yiu can only blame the government when every industry is suffering. Get all democrats out of their political positions and then we can work on removing the rinos. Unleash the power of the people and allow thus country to prosper
