Re: meat market
Help get rid of some of the worthless ones that are around..... pretty bad when you have people calling you up begging you to take their horses.
I'm thankful for being dumb and slow, then i don't have to over think this stuff.

Re: meat market
I think it will keep a lot of horses from starving to death, but it will raise the price of horses some, at least on the bottom end.

Re: meat market
There is way too many people willing to do anything to save a worthless horse, The meat market probably will not attracted these people but we can only hope.

Re: meat market
Its a good thing.. at least we know what price to start with... What are they bringing?
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.

Re: meat market
My hope is it helps lower feed prices in some areas. I don't think it is going to help get rid of worthless horses. I can't count the number of people who spend every dime they have on feeding a herd of old worn out horses or young unworked animals. I know a dozen that are feeding over fifty head. Maybe some day it won't be the "in thing" but til then they'll stay right where they are eating away.

Re: meat market
I definately can't hurt it. It's amazing how since they closed the slaughter houses the price of horses has dropped. It was a bad time with the economy and all. Now all congress needs to do is get the inspectors in order and paid so we can get the ball rolling. I'm all for it.

Re: meat market
On Nov. 18th Obama signed a bill alllowing the slaughter of horses for human consumption. But, congress has to set aside the funds for the Inspectors. So it is one step in the right direction but still many steps needed.

Re: meat market
I had a Buddy of mine tell me that in Kentucky ,a Slaughter horse brings about $100 to the owner
Re: meat market
I work at a sale barn that has a horse sale once a month, they are trucked to Canada for slaughter. Pet food I think.
Price is low but there is a lot of grazing range here,panhandle of NE.
I think there is a slaughter facility in Texas or Oklahoma trying to open.
I don't go to horse sales, I have seen some I would like to take home, huge friendly draft animals. i have also seen very poor treatment by the principle buyer trying to beat too many animals onto a truck, no food or water for days. There is also a lot of apparent drug use to be able to ride an animal and fraud on what the animal has done. A friend has punched out the buyer for selling him a horse that lay down when mounted.
