You’re absolutely right. And Democrats are to blame-that and too many people NOT PAYING ATTENTION to what’s going on in this country, and taking the main stream press’s word for everything.
Intellectual laziness.
AND our education system.
If one can do so, it’s best to buy local and have a freezer so you can buy more than a few cuts.
Knowing the source, the producer, allows for you to find out what has been done to the meat.
Exactly right.
And, you have to ask…they don’t always volunteer (which vax’s/meds, etc).
Actually, live cattle prices are up about 25% in the last year, while corn prices are down about the same percentage.
There were the usual problems of such a culture; corruption of course, the black motorcycle cops would shake down the expat kids in Las Mercedes and the political scene was unstable. I watched an attempted coup one morning at downtown airport from the terrace at the Tamanaco one morning before catching a flight there later that afternoon.
It is a feature, not a bug.
They are up now. Two years ago, ranchers were selling cattle in droves, which is why we have a problem now.
You are absolutely correct with that observation. Since Biden took office my input costs for diesel fuel, fertilizer, herbicide and pesticide have nearly tripled, however the price of the commodities that I grow have not grown even nearly in a commensurate fashion. I think that POS Biden is trying to bankrupt the American farmer/rancher because he knows not a single person out here in what I call “common sense country” voted for him. Just an analysis from a Kansas farmer/rancher.
Cattle (and corn) prices are about where they were two years ago.
Some of the best I ever had was in various Argentine steak houses in the Netherlands. Great Argentine wines also.
If ever in Amsterdam check out San Thomas Restaurant close to Central Station.
BIL drives a rendering truck in Iowa and during COVID they were working 7 days a week because farmers were putting down livestock because they couldn’t take them to market, sell them and take care of their breeding stock.
He told a story where one pig farmer had put all his pigs in a building, sealed it as best he could, put in propane heaters and pumped in carbon monoxide to kill the hogs. Took a couple trips to load and unload the carcasses.
Cutting back on cow farts?
“We’re importing beef? That’s cheaper than growing our own moo-cows?”

Maybe its part of the Divine Plan; Disease/Pestilence, War, Famine and Death to go for our faults.
How Is Ethanol Made? Ethanol biofuel is made from corn by breaking down the starch
in kernels into sugar and then fermenting it into a liquid. Protein and fiber solids left over
from the making of ethanol, called distillers’ grains, are used as a high-quality livestock feed.

“’merica” is a nation off grass clipping eaters now. Once we eat all the grass, we’ll start on the bugz.
It has been missing from my dining table since covid shot the prices up.
China......
I think we got some of that low-quality, imported beef last night. .
I bought two t-bone steaks yesterday for a birthday - family favorite and the dogs get the bones. They weren’t cheap, $35.00.
Cooked and seasoned as usual - meat cut up and looked perfectly cooked - but the meat was tough, chewy and mostly flavorless - dogs got more than usual.
Also wolves in Colorado
