US Meat Supply

[TigerGrowls]

Good news.



BOOM! BROOKE ROLLINS: The globalist’s are losing the war on MEAT!

"For the first time since 2018, we're now seeing a turn where the cattle numbers are now moving back UP."

USDA's July 2026 Cattle Inventory report, which revealed that the total U.S. cattle and calves herd grew to 94.2 million head, marking the first mid-year year-over-year increase since 2018.

Beef replacement heifers increased by roughly 100,000 to 200,000 head, indicating that ranchers are starting to hold back females for breeding rather than sending them to market.

Price of beef goes up, ranchers raise beef...

Nothing like undercutting American beef ranchers with cheap crap imported meat.

I've got a hefty meat supply to give OP's mom!

PS did OP's mom joke make the transfer?

so on one hand we complain that beef prices are too high..on other hand, we complain when a step is taken to reduce beef prices...makes sense

It’s all very nice that there’s more beef supply in the pipeline, but alpha gal may take care of that in the long term. Ordinarily I’d blame that on the Chinese, like most modern us plagues, but this one is borne mostly by the lone star tick.

"And with the price of beef goin' through the ******' roof, that's a deal."

Wait…you actually think Trump is going to fix a problem? That’s cute.

Is it all of the boys' testicles you've excised, Herr Doktor?

I doubt the problem will be fixed while Trump is in office. Supposedly (I'm not a cattle rancher, can only report on wht other have reported) it takes 2 years to bring a cattle to slaughter and drought has forced ranchers to cull their herds. So, no I don't think Trump will fix the problem..he didn't cause it and won't fix it.

Wait, suspending tariffs will make foreign goods cheaper here in the US? I have it in very good authority that the other countries pay those tariffs, not US consumers.

Its called increasing the supply to.lower prices doofus. The primary goal of tariffs is to protect American products. In this case the US supply is down so they are augmenting foreign imports to lower prices and thats why US cattle producers are not happy. Trump is putting the beef consumers first in this case. Class adjourned. Youre welcome.

Good try dpic. Trump is working to lower beef prices for the American citizens. Profits for huge corporations come secondary in this case.

 

[ThorneStockton]

Our Great American Beef Herd? What is he a communist?

 

[ThorneStockton]

For the record, I welcome the foreign meat, bring on the competition.

 

[LafayetteBear]

JinxyPat needs to weigh in on this subject. He gets a more ample supply of "meat" than anyone else here; by a wide margin.

Read this.



Beef prices aren't up becuase of tariffs you moron. They are up because:
1. 4 meatpackers have consolidated the entire industry and are currently under investigation for price fixing.
2. Cattle herds are at record lows because of leftist policy for the past 10 years intentionally trying to destroy the meat industry to prevent climate change.
3. We imported 40 million people in the past 4 years that are all subsudized by the government to buy beef from walmart.

This is all well known and the American left has been public about this for years. A temporary waver of tariffs on foreign beef to bring prices down during midterm elections is not proof that tariffs are bad or that the current situation is caused by tariffs.

Seems to have fixed a lot of the illegal immigration problem that was beyond the mental capacity of Biden or Harris.
