With US beef prices soaring to record highs, you might think that South Dakota cattle rancher Eric Gropper would be celebrating.
Yet while the cost of the meat in US supermarkets is now 12% higher than it was a year ago, a rise more than three times the rate of general inflation, Gropper says that he and all the other beef farmers aren’t making any more profit than usual.
they’re not babies, they’re calves. if you can get me some other figures I’d be happy to look at them. but the numbers I found support exactly what I said: hardly any calves end up as veal at all.
so you’re not helping? head down to your local slaughterhouse and tell the migrants and refugees who work there and dead-eyed capitalists who run it that you’re a massive fan of their work. maybe they’ll let you have a few turns!
