I really hope this can break the meat processing cartel you have there.
Farmers should be able to process their own produce and not be held to ransom by the big 4. I don't think it will mean cheaper beef at the checkout, but perhaps if the farmers get rewarded for what they do, you'll get better American beef and your heard numbers will rise.
