Bloomberg News Agriculture Reporter Ilena Peng is on Bloomberg This Weekend and explains to hosts Joe Mathieu and Carol Massar that consumers are also pushing back against record prices, but meaningful relief may take years as the herd rebuilds, while a planned resumption of some cattle imports from Mexico could provide limited near-term help.
