00:00 Uh, these are your projections, huh?
00:05 Projections, yes.
00:07 One of those glass half-full types, aren't you?
00:11 I got a word for you.
00:13 Consolidation.
00:15 Know it?
00:16 Consolidation, yes.
00:18 Of course you've got to do it.
00:19 That's not a here and a there.
00:20 What it means for us is,
00:22 there used to be maybe 10, 15 suppliers to buy my animals.
00:26 Now there's maybe two.
00:28 So they hold all the marbles.
00:32 They pay what they want to pay.
00:35 Yes, but Wagyu is the future.
00:40 Change now, and...

00:48 Rocket ship.
00:50 It means we go up.

01:29 How does a rancher make a million bucks?
01:32 How?
01:33 Starts with 10 million.
01:37 Bad joke.
01:38 I think it's a great joke.
01:39 Losing money, not funny.
01:43 Maybe it's not enough for you, Headachey,
01:45 but I have never lost money.
01:48 But if you force me to sink a fortune into construction
01:51 and I gotta hire on new guys,
01:53 learn a whole new breed,
01:55 and grow non-GMO corn on my ranch...
02:00 No guarantees.
02:02 Our ranch.
02:04 Our ranch.
02:06 Right.
02:08 Let me show you something.
