@Piss_Benoit@GypsyChudsader@McDonalds Sobbing madly even as I bring the rattan cane down on her now-bleeding, welted, ruddy-red rumpcheeks for a seventh stroke...

@YammyLand@truthtroll_X Well... I for one am very disappointed in Bob, myself...
He was THAT DAMN close to them, but still didn't beat up a single brownie! Missed opportunity, Bob: you should have done better! They were RIGHT THERE, man! Unbelievable!
Beef Cattle currently cost $2000โish for a calf at 500lbs. You have to feed it 25 lbs of hay per day for 30 months when it is ready to harvest. Thatโs (9,100 lbs / 900 lbs per bale, for 30 months) 304 bales total at a cost of $1,700. NO OTHER costs, Iโm into the cow for $3,700 at 1400lbs full grown. I gross approx 450 lbs of meat. Thats $8.23 cents a pound., in the box.
In this equation there are:
No slaughter costs
No operating costs
No vet/transport costs
No land/property taxes/insurances
No upkeep
No diesel
No seed for the fields
No fencing
No labor, no profit for us working 365 days a year. (Yes, cows eat on holidays)
Nothing!!
For sake of argument, letโs say all these above costs are offset by selling my โpremium cutsโ, (which isnโt even closeโฆ.BUTโฆ.lets just say for this exercise, it did.
$8.22 a pound.
Now: Please tell me how ground beef I can buy for $7-8 in the store with that retail store making a profit? They have to keep their doors open to. Letโs call it a 25% profit margin (and thatโs LOW). Thatโs them buying ground at $5/$6.
Iโll let yโall form your own conclusions about how this is done. You CUT corners. Period, end of story. Ainโt no other way round it. Next time you buy beef, remember this very basic math and ask yourself what exactly you are putting in your body for $7-8 bucks.
Do yourself a favor and establish a relationship with your local rancher/farmer that you KNOW doesnโt cut corners AND works their brains out 365 days a year just trying to do the right thing to better their community. ๐๐ฅฉ๐บ๐ธ
