Did We Run Out Of Cows??

It's way too simple. FEED. Hay, grass, grain, takes water and good growing conditions without extremes of heat, cold, wet, etc. Check the weather and look back three months and check what was predicted to happen. They are shipping feed from Idaho to California right now, with a one or two cut reduction in production this season. Like milk, pay the price, like beef, pay the price, they are both more expensive than other food basics, and are now reflecting that cost.
