Beef Prices Soar This Summer | Charlottesville News

This Fourth of July, grill prices are soaring as beef supplies hit a 75-year low—thanks to drought, wildfires, and ranchers choosing slaughter over breeding. With no quick fix (new cattle take two years to mature), shoppers are turning to chicken and pork to keep costs down. Complicating matters: beef imports from Argentina sparked backlash, and Mexico’s cattle exports are off due to a parasite scare. So while summer barbecues are still on the menu, expect higher prices—and maybe a little culinary creativity to make it work.
