      Same here, the price of steak is absolutely ridiculous. I find it hard to believe they sell any at all.

        I glanced at a porterhouse for sale at my local grocery a few weeks ago. $54. The fuck? I’d balk at paying that much at a steakhouse, cooked and with sides and a couple of beers.

        it will keep going up.

        Beef cattle are declining in numbers for years due to policy, and screwfly is here now to reduce them further.

        Cheap beef is over for the foreseeable future unless government policy goes pro-beef again. Trump supposed reversed Biden’s anti-cattle policies, but even if that’s true you won’t see an impact for years.
