Ever wonder why grilling burgers is burning a hole in your wallet? It’s not just inflation—America’s cattle herds are the smallest since the 1950s, thanks to years of drought and rising costs for ranchers. Even with beef prices at record highs, ranchers aren’t cashing in; they’re barely breaking even. So next time you see those pricey steaks, remember: ranchers are struggling, too. Maybe try chicken for your next BBQ? #Business #Industry #beefprices
