Which means the cattle gets less protein-rich food, therefore puts on meat less quickly, therefore the output of meat is reduced. Less meat ends up on shelves and individual prices may need to be upped, since the farmers still have similar costs, but less products to sell.
Like, I donāt know, from what Iāve heard, the US market is plagued by fairly monopolistic meat resellers, so maybe you are right that theyāre currently taking a big profit margin and can/must lower that margin as a result of this. But I still wouldnāt be all too sure that they wonāt find a way to drive up prices anyways.
