Where I am hunting right now, a rancher got 60 bales, where he got 5,000 last year.
Due to the drought, cattle are being shipped out of here.

Always fuggin up a good thing.

Not sure why everyone has such a hard on for brisket. Chipotle commercial got everyone horned up....lol It'll be $100 briskets while you and I remain broke as fuuck. No doubt about it. Big Jim.. legit question and ain’t trying to be a smarta$$ but if you’re stocked deep with the best beef as you claim..how come you’d stay broke? Seems people will pay top dollar, as I see those Costco steaks flying out the doors..

Geno, I like corned beef and cabbage. It blows my mind there are people who don’t! I can make a rather impressive glutton of myself with good mustard and corned beef

CAB choice ribeye going 17.99 lb. Ridiculous. Same in sirloin strips was and has been much more reasonable though still inflated at about half that. Bit more. Makes no sense.

7 kids, I ate a lot of London Broil growing up. That’s some garbage. Still, there are some decent prices to be found in decent cuts around the petite sirloin, rump steaks and tips, Tri tip, etc.

Seems people will pay top dollar, as I see those Costco steaks flying out the doors.. It's difficult selling beef. We are not set up to sell retail cuts. We can sell quarters, but slaughter dates are hard to coordinate. Everyone has to be ready to take and pay for their beef when the butcher says come pick it up. It's a lot of messing around. What we have in our freezers now is labeled with our name and also says Not For Sale. It would be illegal to sell it. The beef we sell has the customers name on it. We are selling a quarter to a whole of a live animal. That's how we legally sell it. We sold some beef this year, and it turned out well. Didn't make much if any money.....but we basically get our beef for free. You can't just feed one at a time. It's difficult to get people to commit to taking beef in bulk. They don't want to get stuck with 400 pounds of garbage. It's difficult for people up here to come up with the money....even though it's a great savings. Also, not everyone has room for a half a beef.

I totally understand why people don't buy in bulk.
When we used to buy meat we would get a tough half once in a while.
It's miserable trying to finish a bad half or even a bad whole beef.
The one thing that the big packers have down pat is consistency. Their product is no where near as good as mine....but it's still pretty damn good. And it's good every time......and when ever you want it. By the piece!

I can make a rather impressive glutton of myself with good mustard and corned beef I can make a rather impressive explosion after some cabbage and CB. Almost have to go to the Holiday Inn to to take a dump. Benefits of the IHG Rewards Card 😃 Have to break out the Comet if it happens here.

Sales last a week in local stores here I’ll get little something every day. Mix up the lot numbers. I do get a tough pork shoulder 1/10 sometimes. You know it’s gonna be a bad one when the bone wont give after 10 hours. Chunk that one up and into the crock pot, dress it up for the inlaws 😃 They gnaw on anything and love it.

Yeah that would suck to get stuck with a bad hunk.. We don’t eat a ton of beef but when I buy steaks it’s always from Costco as they blow away anybody else quality wise. Like you said it’s the consistency and that means a lot

Jim, what’s up with “the tough ones”? All other things being relative in terms of grade and marbling? Is it a slaughtering thing? Why does that happen?

Hight prices are needed to make room for synthetic substitute meat which is cheaper to market then real meat. It will be marketed as healthy food that contributes less to carbon footprint making it more "new green deal" acceptable.

The new green deal needs shoving deep up a number of left wing asses.
