Hm let’s check the cattle production statistics to check this

https://esmis.nal.usda.gov/concern/publications/h702q636h

Oh huh weird that’s the link from “cattle” stats but sure… let’s search up cattle info from September before the shutdown…

Oh total exports down 9%…. Total imports UP 30%

Yeah… I’m sure that’s… good…
