Would MII be concerned if the representative figure for 338 feedlots was 17%, 18% or 19%? Regardless of site ownership, be that factory or otherwise, we are speaking about 300,000 cattle. Would MII be concerned if the 5% mentioned increased such that there would be 1,300 feedlots, regardless of ownership, producing beef?
