Beef is still ridiculously expensive. Why?
Feed? I was wondering the same thing.
Super regulation of cattle and tracing programs over spongiform brain disease. They tried to do that with poultry abs eggs over bird flu.

Herds were sold down a couple of years ago

It is not just beef that is ridiculously expensive. As I see it, these high prices started sometime back, but now since inflation is supposedly lower,those already ridiculous prices are just not coming down as most people think they should have. There is still inflation,perhaps at a lower rate, but still in play.

Droughts several years ago caused many beef cows to be sold off.
Takes a long time told back young heifer calves , grow them into cows, and then for their calves to be market ready .
And with high cattle prices, it’s very attractive to send those heifers to slaughter and get money now, versus keeping as future cows
