Another issue in the beef game is producers not happy with processors. They claim processors suppress price they will pay for cattle and inflate price they sell to retail, manipulating market both directions
They do. Once the livestock is sold for an agreed price, the new seller sets price. However atm some people who raise livestock have bumped their prices up, like way up. One of my sources for fresh meat says she looked at a few head of cattle on a monday. Tuesday morning she saw the same exact cattle with a $500 higher per head, increase.

Locally sourced is the hot commodity atm, everyone in the game is taking advantage, just like gun , ammo and reloading vendors.

Anyone see PSA's prices the last few days?
