"Greedology" has taken over the pricing on everything: groceries, proteins, fresh fruits & vegtables, everyday needs. Joe Blow raises prices cuz his cost go up, Joe's neighbor raises his prices cuz Joe did, and the story goes on & on! Then there's the oil-gasoline-natural gas prices.....OPEC and the big oil companies have way too much control over these prices. Then there is the medicals: doctors, nurses, clinics, hospitals, pharms, and of course the medical insurance rip=off artists...OMG!!
There is a terrible staircase rising up to uncontrolled prices with no help in sight for the future.
I don't have a good answer, but believe we need to boycott purchases, voice-out to our government, don't patronize rip-off artists, and demand fair pricing.
It's going to take all of us to make a difference!

I belive it's to late. politics have take over common sense ,everything could triple with shortages that lead to ration books like in the 40s and people will still double down that that's what they voted for.

Pork eats just fine by me for way less than half the price of beef. LB

So far this spring, I've asked 4 small farm beef producer friends if they will have slaughter cattle for sale this fall/winter/ '27 spring. All of them stated that they are keeping only what their close family members need and are selling the rest with the high prices for live cattle. I realize that 4 is a ridiculously small sample size, but if this is a more common stance across the greater small cattle producer population, finding local beef sources might be problematic if someone in the NDA peanut gallery is leaning that way. Current price for a live 1200 lb steer would be over 3k at 2.53 lb on the hoof. 600-700 lb carcass weights and around 450 lbs in the freezer after a 1000 dollar slaughter bill. Bringing the grand total to over 4k for 450 lbs of meat or around 9 bucks a pound for in the freezer beer. OI Vay!! That a zinger in the wallet area. I don't like any of this. NO, not at all.

Makes a guy wonder what's in that 5 dollar a lb ground beef tube when real beef is 9 bucks a lb?
