    SCENERIO : Buffaloes Bill the Taxpayer Back home on the range, a funny thing is happening to the beef cattle and buffalo businesses. A. The news for cattle ranchers is not good. · The national cattle herd has been in decline for the past twenty years. · Per capita consumption of beef is down 20 percent in the same period. · Producers' costs go up while beef prices go down. · Kids that grew up on cattle ranches are leaving them in droves. B. The buffalo business, on the other hand, is chipping along. · Chi-chi gourmands and the fat-avoiders are driving demand skyward and along with it, prices. · While a healthy cow and her calf sell for $600-800, a pregnant buffalo heifer sells for $3000-5000. · Some 20,000 buffalo are slaughtered annually. About 135,000 cattle are butchered every day. There are problems with the buffalo producers though. They produce fewer pounds of choice meat per carcass. More than a third of the animal is ground up into buffalo burger, meat too lean to make good patties. Hence, there is a huge surplus of ground buffalo. In May 1999, the Department of Agriculture announced it would buy 25 percent of the industry's ground-meat production and give it to federal nutrition programs. They will pay $3.45 per pound, more than twice as much as it pays for beef. Sources: John A. Baden, "Taxpayers Get Buffaloed," The Wall Street Journal, June 24, 1999, p. A22, and Mindy Sink, "Judge Puts Hold on Grazing," New York Times," June 1, 2002, p. 11.

Is this an example of positive or normative economics? 5. Name a social, political, and economic force from the case.
