You are correct.

you have to be close to a ***** for it to work right.Social distancing is for pussys
In a lot of places they've made it mandatory. Our restaurant is in Chattanooga and we have to have paper menus, and everything must be disposable, so plastic cutlery and packets of salt and pepper. We even have to fix your drinks and if you get a refill you get a new cup. All this is going to add up and the fact we can't get beef is making things hard.I went yesterday to eat somewhere inside for the first time, no salt, pepper shakers or anything on tables, plastic spoons, forks, knifes, crazy!
Where is the beef?
I had a friend post something on FB about meat being in a shortage, so prices are high at the store, yet ranchers are getting low prices. Somebody is getting fat on both ends!I'm calling bull **** on that... just sent 3 steers to the auction. Got .82$ lbs which is about 40 less then normal. Plus milk is down to 11$ a hundred. That's like taking a 6k a month pay cut.

Most of my friends that I would consider "commercial" operations are getting hosed by the packers. They are in a win win because they set the price on both sides (buying and selling). They are backed by some pretty hefty lobbying groups so it is an uphill battle for producers.Not sure I understand that. When ground beef is $8/lb at the grocery store, people that have the means & people that have freezer space are looking to buy beef.
Now that's not saying the guy that bought your steers at auction isn't going to grass feed finish them and sell em for $10-12/lb.
The people that I know that run cattle sell them dead, cut-up, and frozen. Not on hoof.![]()

Damn, I guess we're in one of those weird times when dealing with volume is screwing people over. The few people I know that run small beef operations are selling 1/2 a beef minimum to individuals, and are usually booked up a few years ahead. and they kill about 20-30 or less a year.
