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
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.
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.
