Spoke w/ a friend last night just back from cow country(he has a 'small' 6,500 ac ranch. Apparently the cost of hay has nearly tripled over the past few years to around 300/ton delivered. Cheaper if you p/u at the hay farm but diesel is non-negotiable so it's a wash. So the ranchers have been selling off herds for 2 years trying to survive and that glut of beef has held prices down. Now herds are depleted, costs are still rising. Got NY steaks on sale at $19.95? Coming to a Costco near you! BTW, I asked my other friend today if the above was true. He said yes. His sister lives on private Hollister Ranch n. of Santa Barbara and they are selling off the herd there because of hay costs. He owns maybe the largest organic fertilizer co. in Calif. and says prices are steadily climbing in the ag world.
