President Donald Trump’s administration intensified efforts on Wednesday to combat rising beef prices, calling on domestic cattle ranchers to lower prices for consumers while also releasing a multi-agency strategy to restock the nation’s depleted cattle herd. Beef prices in the United States have eclipsed record levels after a prolonged drought that has impacted grazing lands and elevated feed expenses, forcing ranchers to reduce herd sizes. The U.S. cattle inventory, currently at its lowest since 1951, has been shrinking amid import restrictions, including the suspension of Mexican cattle shipments due to pest concerns and tariffs constraining Brazilian supplies, all while consumer demand remains strong.

Yep. Outrageous that they outlaw it.
Paywalled. What is the government plan?
MY VET DOES MOSTLY LARGE ANIMALS-—SHE HAS FOR OVER 35 YEARS.
SHE IS MOBILE-—AS FAR AS 60 MILES NORTH OF HER STABLE-—200 MILES EAST TO DO PREG CHECKS FOR RANCHERS-—200 MILES SOUTH TO DO PREG CHECKS & HORSES EVERYWHERE IN GENERAL.
I HAVE SEEN INVOICES WHERE SHE HAS DONE OVER 650 PREG CHECKS IN 2 DAYS——COWBOYS ARE FILLING & EMPTYING 3 OR MORE CHUTES & THOSE COWS NOT PREGNANT GO TO THE AUCTION. LOTS OF HELP—_BUT SHE IS THE ONLY ONE DOING THE SLEEVED UP ARM INTO THE COW!!!!
HAVE KNOWN HER SINCE 1994, AS SHE TAKES CARE OF MY HORSES.
SHE ALSO DOES GOATS/SHEEP/LLAMAS/POT PIGS......AND RANCH DOGS.
I WORKED AT OSCAR MAYER WHEN I WAS YOUNGER.
I WAS IN THE ACCOUNTING?PAYMENT AREA OF THE “BROUGHT IN BY LOCAL TRUCKS” COWS.
THE COMPANY EXPRESSION WAS:
“WE USE EVERYTHING BUT THE MOO”.
HIDES/ HORNS/BONES/ HAIR —EVERYTHING.
Covid the scam that keeps on giving.....ready made excuses for everything and anything.
AVERAGE GROCERY PROFITS WERE ALWAYS 1-2 1/2 % PROFIT.
WILL ALL THE CURRENT SHOPLIFTING & NO PUNISHMENT-—I CAN SEE THAT SMALL AMOUNT VANISHING.
DID ACCOUNTING AT KROGER: IGA: DALES: THRIFTIMART: HUGHES IN MADISON/MILWAUKEE/LOS ANGELES FROM 1957 to 1968 or so.
UNTIL SHOPLIFTING AT ALL STORES—INCLUDING GROCERY STORES-—IS ERADICATED-—PRICES WILL STAY HIGH.
YOU & I ARE PAYING FOR WHAT WE LEAVE THE STORE WITH-—
THE THIEF IS NOT PAYING.
AND: PACKING HOUSES ARE NOTORIOUS FOR ILLEGALS-—A TREASURE TROVE FOR ICE, IMO.
TO EAT????
Where did you find that ASR-33 Teletypewriter? I’ve wanted one for years.
I got Donkeys, goats, horses as well. In this market people want beef, eggs, chicken and pork but not into hogs as hogs are hard to keep up.
im talking the price increase when oblama took office wisenheimer- and just for the record- hamburger is now the price that ny strip steaks used to be when Pres Trump was in office first term
It’s a free market.
Pork and chicken are very affordable alternatives .
Choose those instead
I'm a "everything government touches, it turns to crap!" kinda guy.
Hands off the beef herds!
wisenheimer-

Is that personal attack warranted, just for citing the price of meat when I was much younger like 60-70 years ago?
I thkught you were crack8ng wise. It siunded sarcastc, i apologize if i was mistaken.
To me your post sounded lik3 “oooo, the price of meat rose, call the whambulance why dontcha?”
And, it wasnt a mean personal attack, it was said more in the line of a jovial “ya wisenheimer” vein.
Sorry I do not get the reference.
