I think we had to get the plant size we got to because of the efficiency. We compete on the world market; therefore, we must sell at the world price. Especially in meat processing, if we expect to be competitive, we have to be amongst the ones that can produce at the lowest cost. That did involve some high concentration for slaughtering in beef, poultry, and in the hog sector also. Indeed, once one of those plants was hit, of course the effect was much larger than if one out of 10 little plants had been hit to produce the same exact volume.
