President Trump opened up new overseas beef markets (EU and Asia).
Oregon has the export terminals.
Regional cattle ranchers have outlet.
This is simply so "neat" to see.
I have a particular "emotional" interest in this. My dad had more irons in the fire than anyone I knew when I was growing up in Williston. Among all his many business endeavors he talked often of a cattle feed lot along US 2 & 85 west of Williston, just before the 4-mile corner. Had he bought the land (and kept the minerals) I wouldn't be writing this almost ad-free blog. I would be living/working on a wholly-owned South Pacific Island owning/operating an internet domain targeting the fossil fuel industry.
