What's up with rib prices?

[MikeInFla]

Been a few months since I have done ribs. Normally I can get a couple of racks for 8 or 9 bucks. Yesterday I noticed the roices have skyrocketed to around $23 a slab!

Ouch! I just checked near me is under $11 for St. Lous

Supply and demand my friend! Shortage of workers means shortage of product.

Prices are high here too, best Id seen was 3-4 dollars a pound. Last year I was catching sales for 2 dollars a pound.

ribs here are still the same, but tri tip is way higher than before.
I see tri tips for 30-40 bucks now, 9 - 10 a pound

Every meat seems to up except maybe chicken. But beef is just out of control.

I'm looking at $20 for a rack of loins last time I checked here in NH.

$1.79 lb frozen ribs at Walmart. These are full ribs. Can be trimmed to St.Louis ribs and rib tips saved for use later.

Remember the summer of 2020? They were killing pigs by the thousands when the packing plants closed and they had no place to ship them. A lot of farmers quit raising pigs...at least for a while. We're still feeling the effects of that. IPC (Indiana Packers Corp) here in Indiana has billboards all over paying $18.50 (up from $15) for production workers. Along with high grain prices, higher shipping costs ( fuel is at least 50% higher, THANKS JOE!), and they're having trouble getting big rig drivers back to work!

Poultry is next. We aren't going to see $ .49 turkeys this year!!!!
