Heard local butcher sold 1500 lbs of ground meat in less than a day. And that local rural King sold 36k in guns and ammo in one day or maybe less.

I went to the grocery store yesterday and all hamburger was GONE.

Just bought an entire 350 pound cull sow for 100 bucks, she bit the farmer and killed 8 outta 10 of her piglets, nice fat, healthy hog raised outdoors. Gonna get her sister with a bad additude for 100 bucks in 5 weeks. I may not be able to get hamburger so ill have to settle for homemade ham,bacon and pork chops, poor me.

Forget the city Hamburg Germany and make hogburger.

Hog burger is darn good table fair. It don't keep as long as beef or deer though, so want to use it up first, at least that is my experience with it. Ground a lot of hog into plain burger over the years, make some breakfast sausage with some of it to for variety.

Local meat store had full meat coolers and the bullet store completely full as well.

I had a 270-280 pound hog delivered to the butcher for me today. Buying a hog or beef, if you don't raise it yourself and having it butchered is many times cheaper than buying the same amount of meat at a grocery store.

Title sounds l like a country song!

Economic stimulus. Maybe something good is coming out of this mess after all!

Meat ? GUNS!!!! AWESOMENESS!!!!

All I can say is, " if the stores close, lock and load"! People will get crazy to steal and rob.

Yes! Another 2 Trillion in debt.

What's the other choice? Monumental economic collapse.

when I was a kid in public school the lunch ladies would put hamburgers on the menu , get in line to eat and it would be sliced caned ham on a hamburger bun a "ham" burger

Local butcher is having problems getting butcher cows from his regular supplier so has been buying if from a neighbor. Said the quality of the meat has gone up as a result and may continue to buy it from him as long as he has the cattle to do so. Same neighbor gave me some hamburger and said to help myself as I need it. Gotta love neighbors like that!

I meant people spending lots of money on meat and guns as an economic stimulus, not a government infusion. The first one is good, the second not so much.

Man Keith out there it must not cost much to have the butchering done, here most lockers are what we call state inspected so they can sell retail from animals they kill within state boarders, very few have just a no resale stamp anymore, so to get a hog done is around 500 dollars and a beef run 1200 to 1500 and you have to buy the animal on top of that.

Good stuff right there.

Well, I have talked to other farmers who direct market their beef products and their sales haven't increased a bit.
So........you might want to check out the direct marketers in your area, but expect to pay more for a premium product.

Many Many years ago when I first got married I bought a cow from a farmer. I forget the price, but they wanted .12 cents a pound to butcher it. I said outrageous, have you ever butchered a 1000 lbs. steer. To long a story, but don't try it. I had to use my VW to turn the steer over. They have two tubs of guts in them. Pay the fee. JMO
