Yay. More bitching from customers like I fucking control the prices.
BIGDICKRANDYBENNETT-
Prices are up because of supply. Nothing else. Demand is shit right now, export demand has been down down down since 2022. Input costs are cheap as shit – especially compared to Covid times – which is why we’ve seen cattle explode to the size cattle has grown to.
Back in 2022 we were harvesting roughly 650k head per week. Right now we’re around 575k. When we get out of the dead zone for demand that number will grow but only around the 600k level. As such we’re down ~10% from the high of this decade.

That just means JBS, Tyson Foods, Cargill, and National Beef will have a record breaking profit year. This is from my local Walmart

I guess beef’s back off the menu boys.
Maybe import some of that Canadian beef. Oh wait…
Must be trumps fault because you know he has been back in office 8 weeks.
Cause and effect ppl.
Really all the meat I order for my restaurant is down between 1-3$ a pound since January
Really?! I read some countries weren’t ordering U.S. beef bc of tariffs… wouldn’t that increase our domestic supply?
