I raise beef cattle as my retirement job. This has been a long time coming. Processors have been screwing beef farmers for far too long. We've been doing all the hard work, and they've been making all the profits. My neighbor and I quit taking our beef to auction 5 years ago. We sell local, and have a neighborhood meat cutter we work with.
Hello: any idea what is driving up beef prices lately ? I'm hearing insane numbers like baby beef calves worth $400-$500
Remember that guy that shut off American Oil Production?
And the sold off the strategic fuel reserves?
Then Blew up an undersea pipeline?
Ah yes kemosahbee.
Like everything else, raising cattle is directly affected by the price of fuel, feed, fertilizer, etc, etc. Costs almost twice as much to bale hay as it did 5 years ago.
Indeed, SA. Cheap energy is the lifeblood of any economy. Probably not a coincidence that on day 1 of entering the oval office, President Mashed Potato Brains issued multiple EO's curbing domestic energy production.
Expensive energy impacts every single market and supply chain.
Yep understood, what I meant is cattle buyers are paying insane money for beef cattle lately.
Probably because of supply shortages. A lot of folks have left the business.
Don't forget to have good 24/7 security. The Globalist scum are blowing up food plants - don't care if this makes me a conspiracy theorist. I sincerely believe these PoS want the peasants to eat bugs or starve while they fly in their fancy private jets to "Climate" Conferences where they dine on Kobe beef and caviar.

That’s the way. Buy local and you get better quality, in most cases.
Our beef, is solid gold.
Aaaaaaand..... Where are you located? Tell us more about how the cattle are raised!
East Tennessee. Grass fed. No injections.
Do you have an online store I can buy from?
Look around you for ranchers or find a local family-owned processing butcher or find a farmers market. Start talking to the people who raise the beef and then work out a quarter or half cow purchase. You may have to invest in a freezer (we did get a small box freezer and a stand-up freezer, you really have to work out your rotations strategy) to fit it but you can choose your cuts, get innards and oxtail included, etc. And once you have the freezer space, well, you can maximize those farmer market finds or orchard buys by vacuum pack freezing. And once you start doing that, you might get the urge to plant your own stuff. And then a few chickens. (We are here.) And then...? Lol
Sounds great for your family!
Unfortunately, we are too small scale for that. Unless you live in East Tennessee, it's not going to happen.
Fantastic!
