Outside of the Leftist Insane Asylums, gasoline prices have plummeted. Regular Americans are living with a better, more respected, and yes, more feared America.

As the price of oil & gasoline continues to drop, it will take about 3 more years to translate into lower beef prices at the supermarket as it takes about 4 years for a calf to grow to a marketable weight.

Brandon left the cattle ranchers with low inventories.

Much like bird flu hit supply of eggs

So patience required

It may take four years to rebuild the beef herd. It does not take four years for a calf to grow to marketable weight.

Cattle are generally sent to market at 18-22 months in age.
