Ever notice your favorite steak is pricier this holiday season? That’s because there are fewer cows around, so beef prices are up almost 15% from last year. It’s not that farmers are cashing in—most of the extra cash goes to the middlemen. Until more cattle are raised (which takes years), expect to pay more for burgers and steaks at the store. Maybe try chicken or veggies for your next cookout? #Business #Industry #beefprices
