Trump lied about reducing grocery prices on Day One.
The Tangerine Turnip causes beef prices to skyrocket

Many ranchers raise a lot of their own beef feed. So herd sizes tend to get culled down during drought. It has been going that way for a long time.
Exactly, he has little interest in doing that in reality. If he cared, he’d drop the ridiculous tariffs.

Agreed. Notice how his MAGA morons continue to blame Biden and feed on all the distractions from the Epstein files.
Prices didn't spike last year during the Biden administration. You can't dodge or casually explain away that fact.
You can't have large herds if feed is too expensive or unavailable. That is largely a result of climate change and associated persistent drought conditions.
You are also forcing Americans to pay hefty tariffs for imported Canadian beef.
So, your love of climate change and your love of tariffs are the reason you are getting screwed at the grocery store, not because of Biden.
So we don't make ranchers in Brazil money, we support ranchers in America instead.

They're just too lazy to shop....
You're right.
I don't know why MAGA morons have to have tariffs explained to them, and how it effects beef prices. You would think people who claim to love tariffs would at least know how they work!

Did you suddenly forget that it takes 3 years to bring a steer to market?So prices were pretty stable from 2016 to 2020 then shot up in 2021Remind me who was president then?

As I sa
There are big sails everywhere and Ive posted picture... Don't be lazy. I've often mentioned where we buy our meat... It's very easy to check out and it's open to the public... (We buy the limit for the ground beef every two weeks...In addition to other things depending on what our menus/events are...)

And we have not been able to provide all the beef we eat for years.
We have to import a lot of it and Trumps tariffs are also making the price of that beef to go up.
We can buy all the beef American ranchers can supply and we still will have to import a lot more.
YOU don't want to admit Trumps tariffs are driving up the cost of just about everything we buy . and prices have already started going up and NOT all of Trumps tariffs are in place yet.
Wait IF Trump doesn't flip flop again and DOES actually put them in place next week in a month or so prices will be going up and up.
Why do you MAGAS keep voting against your best interest?
When rancher dump their herds onto the market prices go down. Rancher dumped them down during the Biden administration BEFORE they could arrive at the lowest herd size in 74 years today. Most fertilizer is made from oil or natural gas. The run away inflation during the Biden administration made oil prices and fertilizer and feed prices to skyrocket. That caused ranchers to reduce herd sizes that temporarily drives beef prices down then drives them back up. That is the way it has ALWAYS worked. Drill baby Drill and lowering oil prices today will help beef prices 2-3 years from now.

These conversations with them are priceless...
Now you're just parroting something you spent three minutes frantically googling.
How convenient. The beef price spike which is specifically occurring on Trump's watch, is somehow Biden's fault.
These prices have a lot to do with climate change and tariffs, two things which you love.
So if you feel you are getting screwed at the grocery store and need someone to blame, just look in the mirror.
So we don't have enough land or grain to raise enough beef? Then maybe we should not let 15-20 million more people into the country.
Ranchers are struggling, draught, and higher feed prices are cutting into their profits. Herds sizes are down. The result is we have to import more beef.
