Let’s talk a little bit about meat prices, and who is making money and who is not. I’m going to use beef as my example here because beef is more flexible than pork. But similar things are going on with pork as well. There are four major beef packers that control over 80% of the beef industry. Tyson, Cargill, JBS, and National. JBS and National are Brazilian companies, and Tyson/Cargill are US based.
informative and helpful, was wondering the disconnect in pricing right now between grocery market and farmer. purchased a half cow this summer for $6.50/ lb, and getting a half heritage pig this Christmas. the quality, taste, and flavor is much better than the grocery store. ideally wont ever buy meat again from the store
