Green Energy Live Subsidiary Seeing Higher Sales and Prices as Cattle Industry Rebounds

Green Energy Live Inc. (OTCBB: GELV), a growing clean energy
company engaged in developing sustainable biomass-to-energy
conversion solutions for the U.S. livestock industry, is pleased to
report that positive market conditions in the cattle industry
signal growth for its profitable Comanche Livestock Exchange
subsidiary. Increased domestic and international demand, lower
supplies and higher prices are strengthening the market for beef
and improving the outlook for livestock producers and service
providers.
According to American Farm Bureau livestock economist John
Anderson, we may see record meat prices this summer. "The outlook
for meat prices is, from a livestock producer perspective, more
positive than it's been in a long time. We are expecting fairly
high livestock prices and that would translate to higher prices at
the meat counter. Beef prices could hit record highs this spring
and summer, eclipsing the third quarter of 2008 when the average
retail beef price hit a record $4.46 per pound." (Texas and
Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association News, "Beef Demand and
Prices May Set Record This Summer", April 29, 2010)
On April 26th Purdue University Extension Economist and veteran
industry observer Chris Hurt asserted: "Suddenly, owning cattle
looks like a stroke of genius. In a few short months, cattle prices
have staged a seemingly miraculous comeback. In December, finished
cattle were $80 per hundredweight, now they are $100. Calves were
$1.05 a pound, now they are over $1.30. The reasons are clear: the
world economy continues to recover, feed prices are lower, red meat
supplies are down, exports are strong, and retail beef prices have
been low. For 2010, finished cattle prices may average about $93,
dramatically above the $83 of 2009. Prospects for 2011 should
remain strong as well, perhaps moving close to $95 for the year.
The cattle industry is back." (Purdue University College of
Agriculture, "Weekly Update", April 26, 2010).
In a sign of increasing demand, wholesale prices for choice beef
have soared 19% this year, including a gain of more than 9% last
month. (Bloomberg Businessweek, "Cattle Gain on Climbing Beef
Demand as Supplies Fall," April 9, 2010).
Karen Clark, President/CEO of Green Energy Live, commented:
"Sales in Comanche's auction ring are bearing out what we're
hearing from market analysts: the United States beef industry is
rebounding quickly. Comanche has multiple revenue streams including
commissions on cattle sold at its weekly auctions and private
direct sales plus a range of services for cattle producers. Green
Energy Live is encouraged by stronger demand and higher prices for
beef which could translate into robust growth for Comanche's
profitable livestock marketing business."
Comanche, a wholly owned subsidiary of Green Energy Live, is a
growing livestock marketing company. Comanche has served Texas
cattle producers for 61 years and provides live weekly auctions,
private treaty sales, and video and online marketing. The company
also provides cattle working services including hauling, penning,
catch and capture, and cattle care. Managed by seasoned cattle
industry veterans and operated efficiently, Comanche has an
extensive base of customers who trust the company to get top prices
for their cattle.
