Beef prices are high. This butcher has suggestions

By Sono Motoyama, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

PITTSBURGH — The price of ground beef has gone up 51% since February 2020. In the past year, the U.S. has seen record low cattle numbers because of drought over the past few years. Tariffs on imports, rising input costs and cattle disease have also put pressure on beef prices.

The escalation will continue into this year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, with beef and veal prices predicted to rise 9.4%.
