A 25% rise in a year is abnormal. This is not just inflation
I probably should be eating less red meat anyway

Chart from the article, and yet there are no shops gouging on prices according to our regulators asleep at the wheel (as usual).
And you can’t even blame feckin Brexit.
Weanlings cost have sky rocketed, huge exports, blue tongue disease etc all contributing.
Indo, paper of the people
The herd is shrinking quickly.
“Continuing Mr Cleary said, “The most alarming aspect is the collapse in the breeding herd. Dairy cow numbers fell by 36,100 (-2.2%) while suckler cow numbers dropped by 46,800 (-5.7%). That means we are looking at a total decline of almost 83,000 breeding cows in a single year – a frightening figure which points to long-term structural decline, and the knock-on effects are already showing. Cattle under two years of age are down by 124,300 (-3.2%) due to fewer breeding animals and an increase in exports, while cattle over two years are down 71,000 (-8.7%), the equivalent of around three weeks’ kill.”
Does CSO says what drives the increase and how to lower it? That cheaper Brazilian beef cannot come soon enough I guess.
Eventually AI will decided if we are granted are one half portion of steak per year.
Waiting for somebody with cais in their name to defend this somehow
Well doesn’t help when government policy is pushing farmers to reduce the herd size and making it more uneconomical for farmers.
Can’t wait til there’s a final push for the Mercosur deal when they say they want to lower food prices and they’ll flood the market with “affordable” (cheap shit) beef and other produce from Brazil to undercut our own produce even further.
Are farmers getting more money?
Nothing a good budget won’t fix
