Stock up the freezer if you like steak because beef prices at the supermarket are on their way up. And they're likely to stay there for a while.
U.S. cattle prices are at a record high, say economists with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. They've increased 34% since July, and this month the benchmark price of Nebraska choice steers went from $90 to $116 per 100 pounds. A year ago, the price per 100 pounds was $64.

Well, some will. I just ordered a black angus, both sides. May cost me a little more - truth be told, I forgot to ask.
Nothing like a full freezer.

Nothing like a full freezer. Especially heading into winter. When I was growing up we always stocked up particularly well in autumn. We just never knew when a blizzard and bad roads might cut us off for several days at a time.

I was a subscriber to CBW for years when I ran a packing house. I don't ever remember a time when prices where this high. Even during the Mississippi flood in 1993(?) when prices spiked I don't think they ever got to this level.
