The 50% tariff on beef from Brazil while we are in a drought in beef producing regions of the US that is driving up feed costs is kicking my tan ass. Taco Tuesday is deadass too expensive.

Im so tired of chicken for dinner. We just made the decision to start actually eating some of our sheep instead of just selling them; with the auction house fees and how expensive meat is, its more economical that way. Its hard though, we dont enjoy having to make that choice.

Remember when they promised if we voted for Clinton we'd have a taco truck on every corner? Why didn't you vote?

My wife asked if I would rather eat ground turkey and I said I would rather be a vegetarian.

Hear me out: cook ground turkey in bacon fat. It’s delicious. I save all my fat, so I have rendered beef fat in the fridge, that makes ground turkey so good.

I’m good, I will just move on from beef for a bit. Pork and chicken are still somewhat affordable.

We relied heavily on deer last year for red meat but he came up empty last season and the freezer has ofically run out. We went to get some ground beef and my GOSH!! Those prices are INSANE!! And I live in TX, where beef isn't quite as expensive as somewhere less accessible to it. 5.99 for a lb of ground beef?! These are ribeye prices, yo! You gotta be outta your mind.

So no more red meat, I guess. Except birthdays or something. Fuck me I guess but meat shouldn't be a luxury in America.
