>>Brazilian Team Headed To Europe To Fight Beef Restrictions<<

Huh? Further down in that article it says in Brazil there is a shortage of beef available for export. IMO, the day is coming when people will have to cut back on meat and eat more beans...

Supply in check

But in Brazil, meatpackers are having difficulty finding cattle ready for export to Europe because Brazil's Central-West region, the country's largest cattle production region, hasn't received enough rain to develop enough grass to sufficiently feed livestock.

"Brazilian meatpackers are saying they canìt find animals ready for export to Europe in the beginning of the year. Meanwhile, domestic processors are paying more per head, and they are a powerful competitor right now," Fabiano Tito Rosa, analyst for Brazilian consultancy Scot Consultoria, told Meatingplace.com. According to Rosa, Brazil would need 8 million bulls in its herd in order to meet European demand, but the current count is nowhere near that level.
