I think that has more to do with printing money than the lack or abundance of beef? but if you think it's high now, wait till next spring.
You are both right. I remember when they introduced the Euro, I do not mean England. The products were rounded up to nice numbers - 1.28 became 1.30 and then 1.50 etc. Pork went up 80% in retail but went down 5% at the pig farms.
Thankfully we have God to take care of us and all He asks is a thank you.
