No ****ing way! You mean there's no such thing as a boneless bovine? Thank you SO much for that insight... lol.

I posted that the actual price per lb was <$2.50 at the time of auction. The stores on average are selling most of the meat for more than double what the farmer makes per lb. I didn't say there was the same amount of meat as the animal's total weight at auction. I said most of the meat sold by the stores from that same animal are 2x the price per lb of meat that is given to the farmer at auction. Doesn't matter if it's 500lbs or 800lbs of meat a steer.

To be conservative, if only half of the steer is meat, the price per lb (of meat) to the farmer is $4.78. Most cuts of meat are sold for 2x that price. Are you following me? I'm using data from actual October sales, and the avg price of meat in stores from coast to coast. I'm not talking about just hamburger.

So there is no additional cost for transportation or the slaughterhouse? Im not sure what your point is?

Today's Headline

"Democrat National Committee in Crisis Mode- Zombies Facing Starvation"



Zombies attending the next Democrat National Convention may risk starvation once again as federal SCNAP benefits established under the Obombu administration are suspended due to the Democrat led shutdown.

"Even if we can scrape together enough brains to run the next convention, and that will take time to find within our party," said an anonymous informant we will call Chick Schumate, as he ate a raw hamburger with a cheese slice on it, "we rely heavily on independents and left-leaning Republicans to carry the burden. That's where the Supplemental Conservative Neural Assistance Plan plays a big part."

"We'll lie, cheat, and steal from this country to make sure our attendees and headliners, get fed," said another source on X, Waxine Motters. "We have to get the right message out early or those fools won't show up at the DNC or the polls either."

One of last year's most popular zombie headliners went live with us at lunch on TicTac, "Some people say I'm the most qualified to answer this question, (nervous laughter) but I'm unbourboned by that has been... sorry... unbuttoned by her husband... Watanabe."

We're pretty sure she meant "What can be, unburdened by what has been" but that still is just a lot of arugula with no meat for what was a very expensive taco salad.



It'll take months to put their plan into action, if they're going to stave off another famine for their constituents. They'll have to do so without SCNAP going forward if they don't vote to pass the budget. The current administration released an anonymous statement.

"Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jas-mine Crock-ett don't share a brain cell between them. You know it. I know it. Everyone knows it. Anyone attending the convention will need to be over 21 to consume the few gin soaked cells remaining between Maxine, Pelosi, and Tee-mu O-bamma."

We'll provide updates on future developments.

You're going from farmers selling cattle for $2.50 per lb. to the store selling it for more than 2X that. You conveniently left out all the processes that happen between buying the steer at auction to it hitting the store shelves that also contribute to that cost.

Per ChatGPT:

Roughly 40% of the live animal’s weight ends up as marketable retail cuts.

1. Beef Supply Chain Overview​

The beef supply chain has four main stages:

1. Cattle producer (rancher/farmer)
2. Feedlot (fattening cattle)
3. Processor/packer (slaughter and fabrication — companies like Tyson, Cargill, JBS, National Beef)
4. Retailer or food service (grocery stores, restaurants, etc.)

2. Who Gets the Biggest Markup​

Here’s where the profit (markup) tends to increase:

Stage	Typical Share of Final Retail Price	Notes
Rancher	~35–40%	Receives the “live cattle” price; often lowest profit margin.
Packer/Processor	~10–15%	Converts live cattle into boxed beef; profit margins fluctuate but have grown recently.
Distributor	~5%	Small markup to handle logistics.
Retailer (Grocery/Restaurant)	~40–50% or more	Adds the largest markup; pricing reflects labor, storage, waste, and profit. Restaurants can mark up even higher (100–300%).

3. Where the Profit Peaks​

• Grocery stores often double the wholesale price — especially for premium cuts like ribeye or tenderloin.
• Restaurants take the largest markup overall. A steak that costs them $10–15 wholesale might sell for $40–60 on the menu — a 300–400% markup once labor, rent, and service costs are included.

4. Who Actually Makes the Most Profit​

Despite the markups:

• Large packers (like Tyson, JBS, Cargill) make billions in profits due to volume and control over processing.
• Ranchers often have the slimmest margins, sometimes even losing money when feed or transport costs rise.

In summary:

• Markup %: Restaurants > Retailers > Packers > Ranchers
• Total profit in dollars: Packers (largest volume, big profits)
• Lowest profit share: Ranchers

You're going from farmers selling cattle for $2.50 per lb.

Nope. You conveniently left out LESS THAN $2.50 per lb.

to the store selling it for more than 2X that.

Nope. 4x the <$2.50 per lb. The "<$2.50 per lb" part is pre-processing cost. That's all the farmer gets for a year+ of delivering, feeding, watering, caring for, protecting, overwintering, and delivering that cow.

The meat obtained from the cow cost the buyer the <$2.50 per lb plus between .15-.30 for processing per lb. $2.39 + $.15 = $2.51

You conveniently left out all the processes that happen between buying the steer at auction to it hitting the store shelves that also contribute to that cost.

Lol. I "conveniently" left it out because I assumed people weren't too stupid to factor it in on their own. The system is already In place to do that for all meat packing. The cost to process one cow is between $125-250. The cost to process hundreds and even thousands is much less.

They introduced industrialization centuries ago. Sorry I conveniently left out a history lesson.

I am white. I have a wife. I have daughters. I had a mother. My favorite cousins are all female. My favorite extended relatives were aunts. With that prologue...There is a large segment of the white female population that is sheltered from reality, rewarded for anything, and have the worst case of confidence in their ignorance. I don't know if you can fix it in the mass that is voting age, but it needs to be addressed with kids. The reckoning is coming, sooner or later, and they will have ushered it through the front door.

Without getting into whether it is their right to do so or not (i think it is) this is driven in some part by fragmented culture, fragmented families, and encouraging girls to delay or dismiss motherhood. While it is anecdotal, my own experience reveals that - over and over - there is a mass of culturally suicidal single, depressed, middle age women that had all the girrllll power back in the day that are not able to self correct or admit that their own decisions about their life, their own decision not to be a mother, their own decision to go from man to man to man (and then blame men generically for the disappointment), leaves them angry and alone. It also makes them willing to find community with the ol' rah rah crowd that still endorses the very lies that led them there. They cannot admit they effed up. They cannot admit they bought the lie. They cannot self correct, and instead double down. Frankly, its narcissism at the highest level.

Yeah, there’s a massive difference in millennial and Gen Z women and young Gen X compared to older women (this is in general; not universal).

This group has been treated with what I call the “Princess Syndrome” where they never get punished, never held accountable, always babied and given everything by their parents, school (the school model centers around catering to females as it is), or jobs. Theyre then in an echo chamber at all times within their friend group who is non confrontational with them and gasses them up. Social media does the same thing.

They’re sheltered from reality and the consequences of the stupid sh-t they support (this part is not unique to their age group as white leftist boomer women are too). Social media tells them they poop ice cream, they’re just so amazing and have been told to hate men and that abortion is the most important thing in the world. They’re hive-minded as it is and it gets worse within politics.

They have absolutely played a huge part in killing this country and today, there is an astronomical gap in political ideology between the genders because one is all about feelings and the other is about logic.

The producer is at the bottom rung and receives whatever the market will bear regardless of their own inputs. That's the way of the world.

Taking the raw commodity and making it into something is where the money is at and always has been. The components of steel are worth less than a sheet of steel. Steel pieced together to make an automobile adds incredible value.

Wheat is ~$5/bushel. A 60 pound bushel of wheat makes 42 1.5 pound commercial white loaves of bread or 90 one pound whole wheat loaves.


Wait until he sees what Jeff ruby's does to the value of a ribeye.
