I saw a post this morning from Greg Reggio saying he can’t get ribs and no Zea ribs right now.

I went to look at all the local supermarket flyers and don’t see any pork products, butt , ribs, etc.

Have not been to the grocery store in a few weeks.

Anyone else seeing this?

Pork is cheap. The hoarders are stacking it deep.

Just odd that the flyers don't have anything on them this week.

I thought we got a lot of our pork from China or am I remembering that wrong?

ETA: nope, it was Japan and it was exports

There is no shortage, but supplies may be limited to stores. Pork producers are working and are affected by the virus like everyone else and grocery stores are slammed and are having trouble keeping up with demand. So, you may see a lack of cuts available at some stores due to this crazy situation. But there’s no “shortage” in the pork industry.

Going sit tonight and try and blast another hog for the freezer. This cool snap should be perfect.

My podna shut his meat market down because supply was low, prices were up and he didnt want to get accused of price gouging. So there may be some truth to it.
