Neighbor Lady come over for a visit yesterday,weather was perfect for barbecueing,so she decided to bring a couple steaks she bought at the local super market.
I dont see much store bought meat and when I read the package/sales price I found it hard to believe $15.05 per pound.
I realize there is a big differnce in the comparision of my 8 weight steers bringing $100CWT at the sale,back out finishing/processing/retailing etc.....but it's dam obvious to me who is making the money,packers retailers can pay more for beef,but wont as long as they can source cheap beef, stamp it USDA and get the American housewife believing it is a product of the USA.
