Just so you know, beef auctions (of steers/cows for slaughter) are currently breaking price records. Prices at the grocery store are going to get insane.

Thanks! That's a bit surprising. Drought in many parts of NA mean that fodder crops are poor. That usually means more supply of cattle to market because some farmers can't afford to overwinter them. Perhaps the US can import beef from Brazil? 😁

The drought is helping raise the prices for the cattle auctions due to the associated costs for raising the cattle, this time

Ah thanks! All the inputs are going up. And presumably labo(u)r costs too. That makes sense. 👍
