keep the political replies in the political section
Big deal beef prices are going up. With my DOGE and tariff checks, promised by Trump in February, I’m going to buy the whole cow.

Items labeled "Ground beef product" or "beef patties" can have up to 12% water and fillers added. Most contain between 8 and 12 percent. Single ingredient ground beef doesn't have any added water or fillers. Make sure you read the labels fellas. That lb of "beef" might actually be 14oz of beef and 2oz of added water and glue.

Did some diving this morning into the current status of US beef production and came across a fairly concerning little stat on grass fed beef. 85-99% (Depending on which data you want to use) of the grass fed beef sold in the US is imported. That doesn't leave a lot of support for domestic production. No wonder that product costs so much. A good part of the imports come from Australia. Now that's a long supply chain if you ask me.

Lab growers are fighting for some of the market. Between them and Washington DC are a lot of lawmakers in high places who want be part of it. They don't think like us so we won't understand all the hype they are pushing and why. For lawmakers ,it's a source of new money trail. Some of them run like rats to the money trail, just for the money . even if they know it's a bad idea.

Are you talking grass finished or steers that just eat grass most of their life till they get finished on corn or grains?
