No imports of Mexican cattle for US feedlots due a disease in their herds. That's 500,000 head of cattle not being slaughtered here
For good reason too, screw worms are not to be trifled with in livestock

Why are they giving horse paste to livestock? /s

Costco was usually between 14-17/lb for prime ribeyes They are now between 26-28/lb, massive increase in the last few months Was just in Las Vegas yesterday for a doctor appt and stopped by Costco's on the way out. Bought a pack of 8 rib eyes, thin cut for $90. For the wife and I that gives us 4 meals. Just have to make sure I don't over cook them.
We get a lot at Costco but beef isn’t on that list, the chicken and pork prices are pretty decent but not much from a cow.

Bought some Boars Head Bologna the other day and it was over $10 lb. That’s kind of crazy.

Yep. We used to grill steaks about once a week. Not anymore.

I'm a firm believer in the customer sets the price on most items in a free market.
Most good and services are only worth what someone will pay for them. If people stop buying 20 dollar ribeye's the price will come down. Same for most all non necessity items, like Cars, Trucks, hand saws, whatever. It obviously doesn't work on services like electricity, water etc. where there are limited providers or single source providers and it's something that you realistically cannot just stop using until prices return to normal.
But for most everything else you can with a little discipline and inconvenience effectively control the price with your purchasing power.
Right now people are paying 36 dollars for 2 ribeye steaks and even more one some other items, There is zero incentive for producers to reduce price if you're buying them at over inflated prices.
I whole heartedly do not believe the government should ever step in to regulate prices on items like this unless as I mentioned above its a limited or sole source goods or services situation basically a monopoly.

Used to be I could get two ribeye prime steaks at Sams for around $30. Even during Covid it was in the mid-30's.
Now it's in the 50s to 60's range.

Only place I used to buy steaks in BR was Maxwells. I think they were $25 to $29 per steak for a ribeye. I just shoot a deer, Nilgai, Axis or Sika when I need red meat.
Paid $134 to have a whitetail buck processed this week.

I love grilled deer backstraps.I would hate to calculate how much they cost a pound.

Was not there a massive livestock kill off in the name of Climate Change during Biden?

Ribeyes are $20 per pound at Wal Mart.
They were $15 a pound when Trump took office. You should go down the diabetes aisle at Wal Mart. Chips and Sodas are off the charts expensive as well. Only eggs have come down in price under Trump.

I get the $12.99/lb prime top sirloin from Costco, quality varies from very good to average

And they were well over $20 when Biden was in office. Your point?
They're also $15.97/lb at this very moment btw, not $20.

No, they weren't. They were $14 to $15 a pound under Biden. Sorry to disappoint you. I only eat Beef, Bacon, Eggs, and have been tracking price on all since 2021.

You think I'm on here shilling for Biden and Kamala over the price of steak?
Steaks at WalMart either Choice or Prime were far cheaper under Biden than Trump. Eggs were far more expensive under Biden than Trump. I'm not on here playing silly little games over prices a fricking WalMart that I absolutely hate and abhor shopping at. I'm just telling you what the prices were and are. I don't give two shits about Biden or Trump.

Why are you lying? Multiple posters have told you what they are at Walmart this week. I saw it with my own two eyes
