Beef has been so bizarrely expensive for so long that I can’t help but view this as a positive, although it’s probably signaling economic weakness.

"Beef has been so bizarrely expensive for so long"...........

The farmer is not getting the cost benefit. I suspect the global warming cult is lobbying to keep meat prices ridiculously high to curtail public consumption and eventually public long term buying trends.

Funny thing is that it takes a larger global footprint to eat vegan than to consume an omnivorous diet. I read once that pound for pound, lettuce is four times more polluting and carbon intensive than a pound of beef.

Beef is nothing compared to lamb—whatever happened to the price of that?

I think it’s signaling relief from the drought.
