Everyone debating beef prices should hear from someone who actually raises cattle.

I’m a small rancher. It can cost me ~$2,500 to raise an animal + ~$600 to process it. If I bring home ~500 lbs of beef, that’s $6.20/lb before I pay myself ONE DOLLAR for land, fencing, equipment, fuel, labor, losses or risk.

So no, American ranchers aren’t getting rich off expensive beef.

And importing cheaper beef isn’t the solution

I’d rather see Americans cut out the mega-packers and buy directly from local ranchers. Buy a quarter, half or whole animal. Know the farm. Know how it was raised. Ask whether it was grass-fed, grass-finished, grain-finished, or something else. Know who processed it.

Quality and production standards vary, and “imported” doesn't automatically mean inferior—but cheaper commodity beef is not the same proposition as knowing exactly where your food came from.

Want to help American families AND American cattlemen?

Buy local. Buy direct. Shorten the supply chain.

Then you don’t have to wonder which multinational handled your dinner—or whether tomorrow’s “beef” came from a cow, a bioreactor or a 3D printer.

Food security starts with knowing your farmer.

If you want us to lower the price of beef, lower the cost of what it takes the farmers and ranchers to produce it! It really is that simple! I can’t buy a $90,000 truck, $30,000 gooseneck to haul hay, another $30,000 trailer to haul the cattle $150,000 tractor, a $30,000 batwing bushhog, a $70,000 baler, a $30,000 hay cutter, a $12,000 hay rake, a $10,000 hay fluffer, $800/ton fertilizer, $5.00/gallon diesel, skyrocketing parts, $10,000/acre land and sell beef for next to nothing, and be able to make it! Decrease these prices and maybe we can talk about beef being more affordable! I love trump to death, I think he is doing good to try and lower the price of beef, it really is too high, EVERYTHING IS TOO HIGH! But as a producer it has to be high to meet the cost of producing it! If I have 50 head or 1,000 the cost of the equipment to produce the beef is the same! We need lower production costs, when we get lower production costs, beef can drop, but we can’t afford the equipment for bottom dollar meat prices!
