Summary
Beef prices are soaring to record highs ahead of the Fourth of July, fueled by a 75-year low in cattle supply due to drought and wildfires—and a blocked import pipeline from Mexico after a parasite scare. With no quick fix on the horizon, ranchers are holding tight to their herds while consumers face higher costs, though demand for steaks and burgers remains strong. Some are turning to chicken or pork to stretch their budgets, and experts suggest saving on the main dish to splurge on sides. The government is weighing tariff cuts and investigating meatpacker pricing, but for now, grillers may need to fork out more for their favorite cuts.
