all done on purpose...

i own and operate a small ranch (section and a half) in the Hill Country of Texas. Typically I run a little over a hundred head of Angus and Limousin. The drought was so severe I sold half of them last year. Selling some more because hay is up from 70 bucks a round bale to 185, protein feed is up 60 percent, and producers are not getting near the return as meat processing plants are getting. Last year so many folks lined up at auctions to sell off cattle, we got clobbered, lucky to get .70 per lb. Now, the shortage is in, and prices are around 1.75. stock up on meat now if you can, prices are going up “still”. I process my own beef, and have a walk in freezer, so I am lucky in that respect. Plus the ranch is home to roughly 300 wild hawg, so I got bacon covered…🤣🤣

History repeats itself . The Deep State Cabal says “let them eat cake”.
Now it’s our turn to respond.

The climate creeps attack on beef never recall the millions of buffalo, caribou, and elk farting and pooping all over North America and the planet did just fine. Ahhhh, but the along came the white man, slaughtered the great herds, and saved the planet!! Bwaa ha ha ha!!!

You don't need any beef!
After all, as Klaus reminds us: "You vill eat ze bugz!"

Don't look like herds are down where I live. Southwestern flyover country. Lots of Angus and the "ghost" (limousin) cattle. Lots of cattle and hog trucks running around. We always look for the local label when buying our meat at a local chain which seems to be priced lower than the national chains. Good stuff.

Government is a very bad thing in general, IMHO. The reason I say this is that government simply mandates what it wants, without regard to the boots on the ground effects their programs result in. Look at what Biden has stupidly done by trying to outlaw fossil fuels and promote electric cars. He is making us pay more for fossil fuels to force us to go electric. But electric cars are NOT new at all. They are just not practical even now- charging times, charging infrastructure, available of materials for batteries, travel range, etc. Someone who buys an electric car now is kind of stupidly asking for a significant lowering of living standard. But government doesnt care at all, while THEY travel on private jets to go to useless meetings around the world. Government shouldnt be able to AND ALLOWED TO interfere in economic decisions people make- PERIOD

Attacks on the food supply combined with attacks on the military, attacks on law enforcement, attacks on energy production, attacks on national sovereignty and independence... It's almost as if they're trying to take down the system in order to install their own and enslave the populace or something...

When I go shopping with my wife at the supermarket I'm shocked at the prices of Beef and cold cuts. She will pick up ground beef when there is a sale. I wonder how much of the beef is disposed of when it's past the expiration date. The prices should be lower to avoid wastage. To reference MCcannon there is a good population of ruminants in the world that is farting methane that the Greenies ignore. They just don't understand the world we live in.
