Surely steaks should be flying off the shelves now that people are stuck at home?
Probably the easiest thing to cook and definitely the the tastiest meal, ideal for families?
Should be, but the last 2 x I've been for groceries there is no rice or pasta. People are going to be living on spag bol & chilli.... So many never got past that level of cooking after uni.
Got some nice ribeyes for tea myself

Were they reducing the steaks or putting them on offer?

Personally think it’s going to be a bloodbath, I hope I’m wrong. The markets might as well cancel next weeks store cattle sales anyway.

They don't have the money since the majority are off work on either no wage or reduced wage. It's as simple as that !!!!

But with the outlook uncertain wouldn’t you be cautious?

Well the beef outlook is very uncertain, guess who isn’t buying any stores until he thinks the bottom has been reached?
I won’t be alone.

I think you’ll be alone...people will want grazers now matter what
They’d rather waste money than grass

The way I have seen some performing at very recent reduced-numbers Store sales, you'd think fat is going to be £1600+ by autumn !!!!

If there is another significant drop end of next week I will be turning strong stores I would otherwise feed out to graze. I certainly won’t engage in spring madness. I will buy them for the same money in the autumn after someone else has grown them on for me.
Nonsense. Stores prices will remain strong well into May to meet the grass flush. Strong stores were in demand in the run up to covid19 and grazing cattle are in high demand same as usual for the time of year. Beef will go short when everything opens up again and everybody comes out to play. I can see the autumn sales being as dear as we have seen for a long time
It probably will as everybody celebrates being alive and out of isolation. Feelgood factor will see a massive bounce in many sectors

If you don’t think a 10p drop out of the blue when many were pinning their hopes on big rises off the back of short term panic buying will give feeders pause for thought then you are in cloud cuckoo land.
And forget hopes of a bbq boost. Social distancing means no inviting mates over and trying to impress by chucking steak on the barbie. Just the family means burgers and sausages .
Grazing cattle, well you are right, there’s always been idiots round the ring in springtime but bigger cattle will be hammered.
