Well, only near the ranch. The butcher and supermarket won't have any.

Food and other consumer goods are no longer making their way from point A to point B in the United States, which faces crippling supply chain bottlenecks that threaten to cause mass starvation.
The latest complaint comes from the livestock industry, which says it is just days away from an animal feed crisis if rail lines fail to get their act together, and quickly.
According to reports, many feed users in California and other southwestern states are having to pay $3 more than the CBOT (Chicago Board of Trade) price to secure grain shipments by truck as rail bottlenecks are not only not improving, but in some cases worsening.
AgWeb says that not only are feed users on the brink of running out of grain entirely, but there are also widespread concerns that, come autumn during harvest time, the situation will be exponentially worse.
Members of the National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA) say that the issues they now face really started ramping up late last winter and early spring. This prompted the Surface Transportation Board (STB) to hold a hearing about the matter, but so far nothing has improved.

I tried to focus the Ukraine Crackpots as to the upcoming problems, and now it’s too late.
I am sure bill gates beetle grub farms have tripled production to make up any meat shortfall

Maybe they could haul the grain to California in U-Haul trucks. Since that’s the only way U-Hauls go toward California, it’s a win-win.
“Starvation News”
Does this publication ever write any good news?
Some folks need to get their normalcy bias checked every now and then. Right now, we’re not living in “good/normal” times in case you haven’t noticed.
Southwestern feedlots buy their feed on the spot market? Seriously?
The WH specifically banned rail transport of grain, fertilizer and related products a month or more ago. Articles on FR somewhere.
Truck transport is not only less efficient (fertilizer = rock), but far more costly, driving the price to fertilize a field into the $5,000 per acre range.
I’d not heard that. Do you have a link?
I saw a post on FB about livestock auctions being overwhelmed in Texas...lines and lines - so sad!

FR search is your friend.
I am not eating bugs. And how will this effect dogfood?
One of the beef kibbles I was buying is shut down now.
So many of my friends are getting their own chickens..But here in Northern MI we have wild turkey and deer.
Isn't that the truth! Yesterday at the nearby Walmart Neighborhood store, the bacon/sandwich meat section was cleared out. There was still meat in the poultry/ham/beef section, but none in the bacon/sandwich section ... go figure!
You have wild turkey and deer because people can still buy meat at a grocery store. When that source disappears, the wild turkey and deer will be rapidly depleted to meet the needs of hungry people who can't buy food at the store.
Bkmk
I was going to start running in the morning again, to drop a few pounds, but now I think I’ll just wait until our food chain breaks down.
