[QUOTE="faster horses, post: 1746251, member: 17524"] I just had a conversation yesterday with a fellow in charge of a feedlot. He says they are killing cattle that weigh 1800# and he has yet to figure out why. In another breed of cattle that we used bulls to crossbreed; we bought a quarter of a beef from the breeder. A steak wouldn't fit on the plate, it was that big. That changed our mind about using that breed for crossbreeding. Housewives don't want steaks that big!! I just bought some rib steaks at the store because they were on sale. Rib steaks, bone in, $6.77/lb. 3 to a package and you could only buy 1 package. There is a story about that, and yes they can track it, because you have to click on it on the store app and put your phone number in when you check out, in order to get that price. The cost for 3 ribeye steaks on sale was about $10 each. I talked to a guy who was getting some and he said he used to work there. He asked me, "have you seen the price of crab legs?" I don't buy them so I didn't know what they cost. He told me, "$60/lb. When I worked here they were $15/lb. I'm a working man and I won't be eating crab legs." I was happy he had bought the ribeyes. No comparison in my mind. It was a bit of an enlightening conversation. [/QUOTE]
