Another thing to consider is that meat from Australia is lean meat, American beef is typically corn fed choice and prime beef. These two do not typically compete at the store.

Daughter sold 7 of the Spring Calves. Just shy of 15K !

Difference in ranching vs cattle flipping.Ranchers can’t make money right now they need to take some land and build apartments for rent. Heck small time cattle farmers around here are selling spring calves and buying new trucks so they don’t pay so many taxes. It amazes me how if prices fall back to a previous record high they suddenly are going bankrupt. But with that said we have had high retail beef prices when cattle was low. First time I can remember that cattle is contributing to prices in the store

Everyone complains about inflation and wants prices to come down but then gripe when the price of their product comes down.

maybe when we get done saving argentina and building ballrooms we can help farmers ?
