Something like 9.25/lb or so, last time we bought local pasture-raised ground beef. That's what food costs when it's done right nowadays, and thankfully the farmer is getting a giant share of it.

Then again, it was fresh enough, and lean enough, that I'd be happy to eat it raw on a slice of rye bread with onions (it's the food of my people here in central WI). Though not in front of my wife. She's horrified by the idea.

NO! They are already incurring losses from such recalls (as they should), but which are voluntary. hlthe2b Jun 2019 #2
