I guess it's news to you, but the vast majority of beef or farming in general does not work on the integrated model you describe. Earl Butz pretty much saw an end to that.
As far as this goes:
Can we have an accepted school of thought?
'That I don't give care a damn about the future, I am here for max 80 years, and am gonna max it out?'
No we can't. I can accept some people feel that way, but grammatically it makes it sound like it's accepted by a consensus, which thank goodness it is not. Count me out on that one.
