The Tangerine Turnip causes beef prices to skyrocket

It's not difficult to get local beef...pork...chicken...etc... ("draught"...;)) It's not available locally then you buy what's on sale that week... I've been posting budgeting tips for years.I'm surprised my facebook fans haven't seen that.

They don't understand the challenges of being a rancher. My brother and I run a herd of about 100 in East Texas. During the Biden administration we reduced it to around 50 because feed prices and fertilizer prices went up and the price of beef fell because everyone like us was reducing their heard size. That is just how it works. Cypress is clueless.

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.

Oil companies are NOT going to " drill baby drill " now with the price of oil being so low right now because of OPEC flooding the market.
If they can't make money they aren't going to " drill baby drill"
And Trump hasn't done a thing to bring the price of oil down the Saudis did.
It is just like back in his first term when they did this and drove over 106 US oil drillers and producers out of business,
The US oil drillers and producers went to Trump when this first started last time and asked for help Trump didn't do anything until it was too late for those 106 companies , then he finally went to the Saudis and told them to cut their production and raise prices or he was going to stop all military aid to them and they did.
And now they are doing it again and we will have to see how many US oil drillers and producers get hurt this time.
 

Many factors including drought and cattle prices have contributed to that decline. And now the emergence of a pesky parasite in Mexico and the prospect of widespread tariffs may further reduce supply and raise prices.​

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

Anyone firing up the grill this summer already knows hamburgers and steaks are expensive, but the latest numbers show prices have climbed to record highs.

What did Biden do to effect beef prices

Raised the price of oil which raised the price of fertilizer which raised the price of grain which raised the price of feed which caused ranchers to cull herd sizes which reduced beef prices then ultimately drove prices back up today.

Wow. Just wow...
Ranchers ranch. They raise cattle on grass. Grass is not fertilized. (Many ranchers lease federal grassland.)
Feed lots feed cattle to prepare them for slaughter. They feed them silage and hay which does require fertilizer.

When did this price drop in beef occur under Biden? When did this drastic decrease in herd sizes occur under Biden? It seems you are just making things up to try to justify your beliefs. Under Biden, the US was drilling more than it could use so was exporting oil. More drilling won't result in more fertilizer. More drilling is unlikely to happen since it is oil prices that dictate it being economically feasible to drill..

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.

If we buy to much imported need it hurts the rancher in America get back on their feet because they can't afford to increase herd size. Do you want to be dependent on other countries to raise our food or do you want America to be able to raise the food we eat? It is a matter of national security.

This isn't about what's good for the country... They care nothing about that... This is about hurting the president in anyway possible... And there's so frustrated that they're just not having a bit of luck...

NO I won't feel better about having to pay more for just about everything we have to buy .
The tariffs Trump says he is going to put on will NOT be paid by the exporting countries they are just going to pass them on to the US consumer and we ALL will be paying more for what we buy.
