CattleFax analyst Kevin Good says as that transition takes place - the industry will have to address excess feeding and packing capacity.

Good says a one-million head reduction in fed cattle supplies in the next two years equates to removing one packing plant and more than 600 feedlots with a one-thousand head capacity - or 67 feedlots with a 10-thousand head capacity - or 27 feedlots with a 25-thousand head capacity.
