US Beef Industry Update –

Historic Reopening of China to U.S. Beef - National Cattlemen’s Beef Association President Craig Uden issued the following statement regarding the announcement from the White House that an agreement has been reached that will restore U.S. beef access to China:    “After being locked out of the world’s largest market for 13 years, we strongly welcome the announcement that an agreement has been made to restore U.S. beef exports to China. It’s impossible to overstate how beneficial this will be for America’s cattle producers. We look forward to providing nearly 1.4 billion new customers in China.

Cattle prices have increased 24% since the October 2016 lows. However, Nature's Gourmet Farm has actually decreased many of our prices. Here is a comparison of our premium grassfed beef as compared to Corner Market and Winn Dixie CAFO beef.

 NOTE: my website would not copy/paste the matrix from my newsletter. Bottom line:

Corner Market- $3458

Winn Dixie - $3186

Nature's Gourmet Farm - $3233

Seven Sons - $4534

*Corner Market & Winn Dixie are both CAFO grain-fed beef - poor stewardship of the Earth, Environment and animals

**Nature's Gourmet Farm & Seven Sons are both premium grass-fed beef and believe in Stewardship, accountability, and personal responsibility for caring for our Earth, Environment, and our Animals.

NOTE: the #/cut is from an actual whole steer processed by NGF in 2016. Hanging weight was 678#. Buying the whole steer Custom Processed vs. individual cuts would cost $2725 - a $508 savings. 

At only $3.50/lb. our Custom Processed Halves are the best family value - and 20% less than local competition.

Eggs | Broken State GVT

Interesting Egg Article– the price and availability of eggs is a hot topic as well as a solution. Industry and regulators (maybe also include media) would have you believe it is because of bird flu. But, is it bird flu OR some other agenda? Beth received a link to an article from Farm Action out of Mexico, MO who have sent a letter to the FTC and DOJ urging them to investigate and take action to restore competition and lower eggs prices. Key facts Farm Action quoted are: Key Pricing Facts:

Half Beef Shares | Egg Pricing | Visitor Stories

NEW Egg Ordering Process – As you know, eggs are not only expensive, but are now being rationed by grocery stores. We have had our share of extra folks contacting us because our prices are lower than grocery stores. This reminds us of March 2020 when our freezer went from FULL to EMPTY before we knew what was happening. I would say 95% or more of those who first bought during Covid left when store shelves filled back up. We are NOT interested in customers shopping price, but only customers interested in our quality products.

This week the American Pastured Poultry Producers Association (APPPA) shared the USDA weekly disease update for Feb 4-10, 2025, a 4-day activity of exterminated chickens that is unnerving. During this timeframe 4.1 million chickens were exterminated. Most were egg layers and Ohio was the hardest hit. Here is the link that APPPA shared that tracks the outbreaks from the beginning - February 8th, 2022.
