Our enemies are not our neighbors who vote in a different primary.

They’ve made us feel that it’s left vs right— but it’s not — It’s rich vs everyone else.

The billionaires & powerful politicians do not care about us. They will let us all perish.

Wake up!

[BowTiedCowpoke @BowTiedCowpoke]

Fuck it. Retain all your heifers. Put your steers on feed for 4 more months. Don't take any to the barns. Supply and demand. Cattle prices will jump because there's no supply and packers need to meet demand.

Fuck em. Fuck em all.

[Katy McBride @KatyForTX]

@RepBrandonGill Hey Brandon, why did you run in Texas to only ignore your farmers and ranchers?

You’re a politician thru and thru. How much money did you get from the Big 4?

[Curtis Knobbe @cknobbe1]

hearing from a guy that made $4 billion in Crypto the last 2 years say Ranchers are doing too well (because they were able to buy a new pickup for the first time in 10 years) is still wearing on me.

[Katy McBride @KatyForTX]

@blonglet This needs to be organized by the local sale barns or cattle/ranchers associations. It’s possible to get enough hold outs. If the sale barns would just cancel the sale for a week even it would make a loud statement.

[Katy McBride @KatyForTX]

@RanaePape @dvanklomp @blonglet Maybe sell them outside of the sale
Barn? Also sale barns will hold them, maybe there’s a way for y’all to organize a way to have the barn hold them for a few weeks for a lot of you without a high daily charge if you supply the feed.

Just a thought.

[Katy McBride @KatyForTX]

@blonglet I mean if we could get people on board that would be great. Even if the sale barns would post that they’d like to participate in a strike but will hold the cattle for those who have to move them in that time.

@TheWardsFarm @agtradertalk As long as it’s Mason brand and not an off brand

[Katy McBride @KatyForTX]

@agtradertalk I’d like to chip in some 40 year old bent t posts and a 6’ pile of rolled up rusted Barb wire.

[Katy McBride @KatyForTX]

@BowTiedCowpoke That’s what we’re doing

[Katy McBride @KatyForTX]

@cattleguy92 Wish I would have sold a few in early October. Didn’t really take advantage of that market bc my herd isn’t ready.

It’s BS bc like you said, this won’t affect the consumer price.

Everyone possible needs to switch to ranch direct purchases.

[Katy McBride @KatyForTX]

@CBKimbrell I can’t even. I was gonna go this weekend to drop a few but I’m gonna wait a few weeks and see if it simmers. I don’t even wanna see the numbers after this weekends auctions.

Hospitalized patients, especially elderly & other folks who can't advocate for themselves, need close supervision by loved ones.

My patients & my family have experienced horrors at the hands of hospital staff.

With zero exaggeration, it's often a matter of life & death.

[James Tate @JamesTate121]

All this talk of a ballroom to service the super wealthy while the rest of us continue to pay more for healthcare and basic essentials makes me think of this powerful political cartoon from 1906, the artist is William Balfour Ker.

[Brady @BradyD78]

Following the President's orders, to get my cattle prices down, I listed 100 hd of 950 lb steers on Facebook market place for $250,000 to bypass the high sale barn prices. Its not going well. So far my responses are:
1. "I need 10 lbs of hamburger"
2. "Can I buy 4 Ribeyes?"
3. "What types of roasts do you have available?"
4. "I need hamburger, but can I pay you next month after payday?"
5. "I need 5 lbs of 80/20 and 10 lbs of 90/10"
6. "Can I sample your product before I buy?"
7. "What kind of deal can I get if I buy a large quantity of steaks. I need 6 T-bones?"
8. "Can I buy a highland cow from you?"
9. "I need 10 pork chops, can you deliver?"
10. "Do you have any bacon?"

@the_meat_lady It’s unfortunate that we are here. We have the space, the ranchers, the talent, and the cattle to do it without international beef. Another thing I’d add to this: the price of acreage. We free range, but are obvi limited. Removing international competition from the equation

[Katy McBride @KatyForTX]

@MeriwetherFarms He will not. Get real and pay attention. You got played.

[Katy McBride @KatyForTX]

@hbottemiller As a small cattle rancher from north Texas I can tell you that my peers don’t care. They’ll continue to support him. There’s trump signs all over our local auction houses. There are no limits. He could literally shut them down & they’d say it’s part of the plan.

[jim hertzog @mokanjim]

President Trump your tweet stated that the reason that cattle prices are high is because of you. President Trump I did not realize that you had the power to cause three years of drought and I didn’t realize that you came up with the New World screwworm and infected the cattle in Mexico to close the border, We are not a communist country. It’s about supply and demand give the ranchers a chance to build their herds back. Don’t try to break their backs.

[Katy McBride @KatyForTX]

@TheLaurenChen Block international buyers & investment firms from purchasing large tracts of American farmland. Demand transparency in the LLC’s that purchase farmland. Force the sale of foreign owned land & let regular folks have an opportunity to ranch.

[Katy McBride @KatyForTX]

Another L from the Trump admin to the American People. Are we great again?
