there is a reason
Hello all. Spoke with a friend who works for Pineland farms. While he cannot directly speak to national beef companies he does have some insight. Most suppliers have had wholesale prices to retailers, move from mid 7's to nearly 10 a pound in the last few weeks alone. The reasons are multiple and mostly political. I'm not going there so you can do you own research. Suggest you start 10 years ago with ethanol and keep chasing from there. That being said our visits to butcher shops in Gilford, Alton, and New Durham have yielded similar results, so my thoughts are the local guys have no control, and are not raising prices to tick people off. I agree that denuded flap meat isn't worth half of what the ranches are selling it for. Soon we'll all have a few cows in our backyard at this rate!
