"Today, I concluded a deal to substantially lower the price of ground beef for working American families. As everyone knows, under President Biden, beef prices soared at their fastest rate and the American beef herd fell to its smallest size in modern history. As we work to rebuild this herd and help our ranchers, for the next 90 days, the United States will allow up to 300,000 metric tons of product for ground beef to be imported with no out of quota tariff. We have a commitment that this beef will be sold at 25 percent below current market prices. This deal will reduce prices for Americans while giving space for our Great American Beef Herd to grow again. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

The weird thing is that as the price for beef goes up, demand is not going down. Obviously people are willing to pay more. I look over to the pork products, and it is a no brainer. Pork chops.

I just bought 2 pork butts for 1.77lb and boneless pork chops for.88lb at hyvee cheap eating for sure.

Been eating cheap pork and 99 cent chicken thighs for over a year, hit the sales and stock up....I did buy a london broil for 4.99/# today...it's probably top round and lean as a crow, but once in awhile it seems like a good idea., lol

Federally inspected. Right now a prime beef has to go from the farm in Wi. on a 6- 10 hr ride to the big packer, then gets boxed and sent back in a fridgerated truck to be sold in the store 2 miles from where he was raised. If they would get rid of that USDA sticker, the local grocery could buy beef from the local state inspected locker plant or farmer direct. cut out the middleman, the trucker and the big four.

Why? Simple research shows that there are 69 facilities in Wisconsin that are licensed and inspected to slaughter red meat for commercial sale.

I'll just copy and paste some info

No, ranchers in Wisconsin do not have to send beef out of state for slaughter.Local Slaughter OptionsWisconsin has an extensive network of in-state meat processing and slaughter facilities regulated or licensed by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP) and the USDA. Ranchers can use:State-inspected facilities: For meat sold directly within Wisconsin.Federally inspected (USDA) facilities: For meat sold across state lines or nationally.Cooperative Interstate Shipment (CIS) program plants: State-inspected facilities that are allowed to ship select products across state lines under federal agreements.

Not all beef butchered in Wisconsin needs to be federally inspected, as beef can also be inspected under the state program or processed under specific exemptions.Inspection OptionsFederal Inspection: Run by the USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service, this is required if the beef will be sold across state lines (interstate commerce) or internationally.State Inspection: Managed by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP Meat Safety), state-inspected meat meets standards equal to federal rules, but sales are generally restricted within Wisconsin unless the facility uses the Cooperative Interstate Shipment program.Custom-Exempt: If an individual owns the live animal prior to slaughter and the meat is for their own personal consumption (not for sale), the animal can be processed at a custom-exempt facility without routine daily inspection. The resulting packages must be stamped "Not for Sale".
