In our case, we send half our pigs to the U.S. as baby pigs and we finish them down there. As Jurgen said, the model made a lot of sense. It was cheaper to finish them down there and certainly cheaper to process them. They have a very strong processing industry down there and access to world markets, so it made a lot of sense.
This introduction of the COOL has really kicked us in the teeth. We had a long-term contract with the plant we used to sell to, and at some point they just came and said, “Sorry, guys, we're just not killing Canadian hogs anymore.” We had to go with our hat in our hand to another plant, negotiate a deal with somewhat poorer returns on a per hog basis, and move to a different location.
I have a little further comment on your comparison to some of the other industries. A certain amount of that is fair, but there's probably a bit more impact for us than with beef, because we're more grain based, and this whole issue around ethanol and the driving up of the price of corn and soybean meal probably hits us a little bit harder. Then, of course, as the final shock after all that, this H1N1 has hit us, and it has really knocked us in the teeth. H1N1 continues to cost me probably $70,000 a week.
