I know I've seen prime ribeye there at least twice, because Ashley and I literally laughed out loud at the pricing. I want to say it was 15-16/lb.Originally posted by bcoop View PostOriginally posted by PGreenCobraOriginally posted by Trip McNeelyComment

Beef isn't coming down any time soon. They're making up for what was lost with the drought.Originally posted by Rick Modena View PostOriginally posted by BradMOriginally posted by LeahComment

I went halfzies on a cow about two years ago. The cost with the freezer came out to about $3.75 per lb.Originally posted by Rick Modena View PostComment

It'll take a couple years to get back down from the drought, lots of people sold rather than pay high hay prices.Originally posted by bcoop View Post"If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry FordComment

They say futures are going to free fall. I'm not going to pretend I know anything about futures, but we are STILL paying for the ethanol mandate, and that went in to effect what, a decade ago? I see it taking 5-6 years for things to normalize.Originally posted by Baron Von Crowder View Post
Fwiw, pork prices dropped somewhere around 60% over a few months after seeing record highs a couple years ago. So it could happen. I'm not buying it thoughOriginally posted by BradMOriginally posted by LeahComment

I still casually keep track. It's somewhat simple to see though. Drought, hay prices go up. Cows were selling cheap at auctions due to ranchers not wanting to feed hay since there wasnt any rain for natural grazing. Others just didnt breed or buy and steady sold, so heard numbers dropped. It just cost too much. Not as many cows, price goes up for beef, especially since it cost more to raise.Originally posted by bcoop View Post
Now that pastures have come back, and hay is back to "normal" pricing, cows are getting bred, ranchers are buying again. That's keeping hoof prices up, since they are in demand again. My buddy bought several calves, one of them being a bull. Back when I was in the mix, the majority bulls were castrated and steers were meat market fodder, but apparently bulls are in high demand at the moment. He traded the bull for a mature, bred cow, with the use of the bull for life.
the last steer I sold was 1.25/lb on the hoof in 01, and it's running somewhere in the ~$2/lb today."If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry FordComment
