What's For Dinner?

Beef prices have soared in the US — and not just during grilling season​

​

The average price of a pound of ground beef rose to $6.12 in June, up nearly 12% from a year ago, according to U.S. government data. The average price of all uncooked beef steaks rose 8% to $11.49 per pound.

.
President Donald Trump's tariffs have yet to have a major impact on beef prices but they could be another factor that drives prices higher because the U.S. imports more than 4 million pounds of beef every year.

Much of what is imported is lean beef trimmings that meatpackers mix with fattier beef produced in the U.S. to produce the varieties of ground beef that domestic consumers want. Much of that lean beef comes from Australia and New Zealand that have only seen a 10% tariff, but some of it comes from Brazil where Trump has threatened tariffs as high as 50%.

If the tariffs remain in place long-term, meat processors will have to pay higher prices on imported lean beef. It wouldn't be easy for U.S. producers to replace because the country's system is geared toward producing fattier beef known for marbled steaks.

Prices will likely stay high​

Trump was relentless toward Biden about grocery prices.

Fox "News" was on board with this propaganda: Prices of eggs, milk, steak up since Biden took office

Trump's supporters didn't want to hear anything about the bird flu. They put egg prices all on Biden.

So no excuses for Trump and the price of steak, mm-kay?

Karma is a *****.

4 million pounds is about a half a drop in the ocean compared to the 30 billion pounds consumed in the US annually.

News flash: Most people can no longer afford beef. Thanks to Biden.

You don’t get to blame Biden when Trump’s president.

4 million pounds is about a half a drop in the ocean compared to the 3 billion pounds consumed in the US annually.

.

More like 28 billion consumed in the U.S. annually and

As domestic beef production falls, import volumes are expected to increase, peaking in 2025 at 4.4 billion pounds.

~16% of the bucket.

My mistake, meant to say 30 billion pounds. Fixed it. Oh, and I didn't say anything about a bucket.

This was already discussed in another thread or three....maybe about a week ago.

I'm not going to look it up, but most of the higher prices for beef are because our supply had dropped.....cattle herd are low because of various factors and it takes a few years for them to recover the numbers.

Meaning beef prices are higher and have been for awhile, because of smaller herds mean less supply but to keep up with demand, imported beef is necessary and would cost more anyway, with or without tariffs. Then add in the tariffs and up goes the price further.

But as the herds recover, prices should then start dropping.

[JustAnotherNut]

I blame Biden.

That may have been a small part of it....but 18,000 cattle is a drop in the bucket.......and I doubt Biden had anything to do with that farm explosion.

But there was all that hullaballoo over cow farts causing climate change.......

Get back with us when Trump's inflation hits 10%, like it did one year under Biden.

Trump came into office with 3 percent inflation, mm-kay?

Nice try.

What's For Dinner?​

Cheeseburger and a salad at the golf club... and a dip in the pool and about 7 beers....

 

[Crepitus]

I wonder why Democrats aren’t complaining about gas prices?

I have been. tRump said they were under $2.00 a gallon but everywhere I go they are well over $3.00.

Why is that?

 

[Crepitus]

Two words: "Global Pandemic".

 

[Missourian]

From your quote...

Yep, we're still dealing with Biden's mess.

Digging deep there.

Are you saying the $6 plus a gallon under Biden is lower than today?

 

[MarathonMike]

Biden blamed Trump when he was president.

He sure did, every few weeks when he came out of hiding the first thing he would do is blame Trump for everything bad.

Six months before the election, Biden and Harris blamed Trump for their failing economy. Three and a half years later, it's still Trump's fault.

I noticed beef up the other day

Just about everything else's down a little or stable...

I'm saying you just made that number up on the spot.
