Not in NJ.

I don’t understand why beef is 2 or 3 times the cost of pork.

Pigs and chickens are very efficient at turning food into meat thus production costs are much lower.

An infant pig can be sold at 4 months to be fattened up for slaughter. A cow takes MUCH longer. The same idea behind why some easy to grow and transport veggies are cheaper than fruits.

Partly the packers, partly the price of grain and partly that pigs are harvested at nine months and beef at about two years.
