To me its the meat. Suppliers can't sell as much. Bought a processed hog for $250 and picked up a cut wrapped and frozen Holstien steer with great marbling from the Hutterites for $2000. Thats a lot of rib steaks, TBones, roasts, sirloins and burger. Both freezers are stuffed.

If your willing to buy on the hoof, meat is cheap right now. Finding a butcher who isn't booked up is the hard part.
