Absolutely fantastic piece about why beef prices are so high. Contrary to what many people may surmise, it's not the meatpackers getting margin right now. It's the actual ranchers, who are benefitting from an overall scarcity of calves https://t.co/kCJ8qf30ZE
@KINGS1973 No idea if it’s significant, but I’ve never seen more beef labeled “reduced for quick sale” than yesterday in our local store. From ground beef to CAB filets. I scooped up the filets btw.
@KINGS1973 I’m not sure this is always the most accurate calculation for all scenarios, but it’s a good source consistently updated https://t.co/9NTbGsCWFM
Stopped by the store after turning these out. Guys at coffee drinkers table ask what we were up to. “Turnin’ some cattle out”. “Turning out? Oughta be turnin’ em into cash…”
