And it’s not going to get any better soon. A 500# calf to raise for beef used to cost $1 a pound and is now costing $5 a pound. So a small beef producer’s risk profile went way up to even start the process. And the margins on production are very small overall. Supply and demand as we constrain the supply side especially out of Mexico. Good times…

Where is anyone getting ribeye for $13/pound?!?
And yes – FML. Especially if Rob keeps losing steak dinner bets.

In related news, I haven’t been able to find ribeye cap at Costco for many a moon. Truly the unicorn of Costco meats.
