Remember, retail beef prices and actual cattle prices are disconnected, and that screws ranchers as hard as it does consumers. That pricing differential is controlled by the meat processing cartel (half of which is foreign owned).
Sure, they might blame screwworm, but the retail price has been historically disconnected from inputs.

Cost of the cattle is down, its just (((publicly traded))) meat processors that still rape consumers.
