Losing customers from Canada will increase the risk of owners losing their ranches to private equity groups like this one

This is not capitalism, it's vulture capitalists[1] and this was planned this way all along.

I grew up in Phillips county, and a lot of the general prices for feed, supplements, and growing supplies have already gone up out there according to my parents. This is gonna hemorrhage the state’s economy at best.

My partner’s extended family on one side are all dairy farmers, extending back multiple generations, albeit not in CO. But it’s insane hearing the financial difficulties & their neighbors’ farms being bought by companies, etc & then listening to the maga rhetoric at the dinner table. Like. ………… huh? 🤔

Less Canadian cattle in America would help the cattle market in America... Obviously... Do you people know anything its a "import" not export... It will hurt Canadian ranchers but litterally barley at all, its fear mongering we have 1000s of teriffs most hurt the US because of weak leadership. 25% is extremely insignificant we have many of American goods not just Tariffed completely banned like Mexico banned all US corn and that just ended this week.
