The price of beef is getting to Trump (and everyone else). But ranchers are very upset by the move.
Beef Prices per Pound
- Ground Beef: $6.89 up 78.04 percent vs pre-Covid
- Beef Steaks All Types Average: $13.06 up 70.94 percent vs pre-Covid
- Sirloin: $14.59 up 75.15 percent vs pre-Covid
- Round: $10.04 up 64.86 percent vs pre-Covid
Trump Reduces Beef Tariffs
Today, I concluded a deal to substantially lower the price of ground beef for working American families. As everyone knows, under President Biden, beef prices soared at their fastest rate and the American beef herd fell to its smallest size in modern history. As we work to rebuild this herd and help our ranchers, for the next 90 days, the United States will allow up to 300,000 metric tons of product for ground beef to be imported with no out of quota tariff. We have a commitment that this beef will be sold at 25 percent below current market prices. This deal will reduce prices for Americans while giving space for our Great American Beef Herd to grow again. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Exactly how does selling beef at 25 percent below market prices give space for our “Great American Beef Herd to grow again” ?

Reporter: On the beef deal, which countries did you make the deal with?
Trump: I don’t want to say. But they are going to be sending in the highest quality beef. And it’s something that we need.

Trump Creates Beef with Ranchers
Please note Trump Creates Beef with Ranchers Over New Import Plan
President Donald Trump’s new plan to temporarily allow more tariff-free foreign beef into the U.S. in an effort to bring down prices has only ramped up tensions with domestic cattle ranchers, who warn the policy could hurt both U.S. producers and consumers.
The backlash comes as Republicans face mounting pressure over the cost of living ahead of November’s midterm elections. Trump has been hemorrhaging support among rural voters since the beginning of his second term, which isn’t a good trend for a demographic Republicans need in their corner come November.
On Friday, Trump posted to social media his intention of removing tariffs from up to 300,000 metric tons of imported lean beef trimmings for ground beef production. The president said he secured a commitment with foreign beef exporters “that this beef will be sold at 25 percent below current market prices.”
But ranchers and farm groups are pushing back against the announcement, arguing that coupled with the absence of mandatory country-of-origin labeling and safety screening for beef, it could make it harder for consumers to distinguish imported meat from domestically raised cattle — giving imported products a competitive advantage while also drawing in questions of quality.
National Cattlemen’s Beef Association CEO Colin Woodall said his group was “disappointed” by the announcement.
“While America’s cattle producers share the goal of keeping groceries affordable for consumers, flooding the market with government-subsidized, below-market beef is not the way to rebuild the American cattle herd,” he said. Woodall noted the announcement caused cattle market futures to fall on Friday morning and will harm the “prospect of herd expansion and sacrifices long-term stability for short term messaging.”
The NCBA has skewed heavily Republican over the years in its support for federal candidates, according to OpenSecrets.org. The group’s PAC and individual contributors have given at least 89 percent of their campaign contributions to the GOP in elections dating back to 2012, with 95 percent going to Republicans in the 2024 cycle.
Trump, on Friday afternoon, defended his decision, contending that beef ranchers had indicated to his administration that the U.S. needed “help” with its available ground beef levels.
“We want to get the beef prices down, so we’ll get them down a little bit, and that’s what people want. That’s what the voters want, and that’s what I want. The ranchers are great — they’re my people,” he told reporters at Joint Base Andrews outside Washington.
Asked which countries were part of the beef pact, Trump declined to specify.
“I don’t want to say which countries, but there are a few countries,” he said. “But they are going to be sending in the highest-quality beef, and it’s something that we need.”
Trump Before and After the Feud with Ranchers
- Before: “We have a commitment that this beef will be sold at 25 percent below current market prices.“
- After: “We want to get the beef prices down, so we’ll get them down a little bit.”
Trump has a remarkable propensity to upset everyone but hard core MAGA.

Trump lies and makes crap up every time he speaks. Is this any different to his healthcare plan, or his tax audit? There is no deal to import beef at 25% less from any country. He’s too busy getting his family a banking license and getting his dodgy stable coin into the banking system so he can profit. This is all a distraction.

I’m pretty sure the redundancy in the phrase “Hypocrite Trump” is obvious!!
The US should not be importing any food. It can be used as a threat vector. Every dependency in the basic needs of the population and advanced needs of the military is a vulnerability to national security. Rome’s elite became addicted to decadence. The average America is as addicted to consumerism and entertainment.
“You will eat ze bugs. America requires you to eat ze bugs for national security peasant.”
Americans grumbled we were eating spam while shipping bacon and butter to Stalin under Lend Lease. True to some extent, but I’m not sure how much. But they were taking bullets face-on for that. Trump is rhetorically pretending all his bonehead moves require our sacrifice, for a higher purpose: goal posts in the sky. Or else we can bend the knee and praise hm for his gracious acts of generosity.
Mish, IIRC you were recommending 20 cf household deep freezers back in the day, ~ 18 years ago? Going back to your days at the Danville butcher shop store?

Chickens come home to roost and you reap what you sow. That should cover it.

The funny thing about this Trump proposal is that it definitively proves that the Trump administration itself believes that the American consumer is paying the (beef) import tariffs. But I guess MAGA was never about logic or facts.

300 metric tons = 660 million pounds of beef

“Under Trump, federally protected wild horses are being sold for $25 and shipped across the border to be killed

I’m all for hating Trump but are you sure someone called poligirlsayswhat is a trustworthy source?
there’s not enough wild horses left to supply a McDonald’s for half a day. the US kills about 4,000 cows per hour.
Another weird and hypocritical Trump policy. He thinks that 300,000 tons of beef are waiting out there somewhere in the world, to be delivered to the US within the next 3 months at discounted prices. And this policy is supposed to help to regrow the US cattle herd. I know very little about the beef market, but this sounds like all hat and no cattle.
Trump’s weird little man in Argentina has made it impossible for a large swath of the Argentinian population to afford their own beef, so there is actually an unsellable domestic surplus.
Didn’t Trump put together a group to review monopolization of the beef processing industry? Did anything come of that or did they slip cash into the hands of the Trump crime family? I recall ranchers saying the problem was the few beef processors were colluding to keep cattle prices low and beef prices high to maximize profits, which caused ranchers to reduce their herds.
Another ridiculous thing ranchers fell for. Meat packers have to have full, or nearly full, kill pens in order to avoid losing their asses plus the wallets that are found there. To keep the kill pens full, or nearly full, they were paying extremely high prices for cattle. To entice ranchers to bring them all into the sale barn to get rich (sell the momma cows and heifers to boot). Ranchers were actually trying to buy an empty packing plant to go into the packing business. Two more just closed. Not enough cattle left.
Fast food places are all on the verge of bankruptcy so I guess this is Trump’s temporary solution. According to this site, there are 3.5 million jobs in fast food. Not sure if that counts the ancillary doordasher, uber eats, etc people or not.
https://gitnux.org/fast-food-employee-statistics/
If fast food goes bankrupt then so do 3.5 million jobs. That will do wonders for all those Trump supporters. Lol.
But when you save fast food jobs, you lose more ranchers who go bankrupt and makes the beef situation worse.
Like I said…
Do worry, Trump, Walrus, GOP, and democrats will find a way to make things even worse.™
Maybe if fast food goes down, trumplings will lose a chin or two.
And this has nothing to do with him ordering the slaughter of wild horses for export to…?

That is what narcissists do. I have an ex-sister-in-law who does that. My brother’s kids will be 18 in a few years, her alimony and child support payments cease, and hopefully the rest of us can have some peace.
All value and favors must be seen not as flowing through a legitimate system, but through him personally. In that way he steals value and reputation from the actual makers of things. It is the very essence of political and economic illegitimacy.
Hey farmers, have you woken up the fact that Donald doesn’t give a rat’s arse about you. Doesn’t care about your fertilizer or diesel costs, doesn’t care about your farm labor being deported, doesn’t care about tariffs wrecking your overseas markets when they retaliate. All he wanted was your vote.
Now he wants to undercut American Farmers/Cattlemen by importing 300,000 metric tons at 25% below our market prices? Has Trump considered what his inflationary economic policies have done to cattle input costs?
While I detest tariffs, he can’t have it both ways!
He destroys everything he touches.
The reverse Midas touch, everything he touches turns to excrement
Hey Donald,
If tariffs don’t raise prices for Americans, how does removing tariffs lower prices?
It’s not a trick question…
Funny enough, back in July 16, Trump slapped 25% tariffs on the largest beef exporter in the world, Brazil.
Why?
To help his jailed friend, Bolsonaro.
America 1st.
Stop looking at western nations as independent actors. The ruling class is intermingled across all of it.
These tariffs raise taxes in the most politically acceptable manner: Blame the foreigners!
But NATO nations all work and fight together. That’s not changing, even if they publicly bicker amongst themselves. Their bickering is as meaningful as D’s and R’s publicly bickering within USA.
The NATO rulers will all take any new cross-tariff money and spend more on war without increasing income taxes (the only kind of tax that tax donkeys are programmed to observe). The newly unemployed and their children will more eagerly work as soldiers.
This is a facebook-grandpa tier rant.
Thank you. You know smarter grandpas than me.
It takes decades to unlearn the lies we are taught. It also takes luck. I wish you and everyone some luck.
Maybe Trumps getting the beef from his buddy in North Korea, the only World dictat……leader Trump gets along with.
Trump critics lose me when they fail to notice trump praises people one day and then stabs them the next. And vice versa. Words out of trump’s mouth mean nothing.
Far too simple. There’s a clear difference between how Trump treats USA allies, usually democracies, and how he treats (wannabe) dictators like bolsonaro, Putin, Netanyahu and Kim. The latter category gets treates much less agressive and sometimes gets actual support.
What matters is what the USA regime does. Against Russia, the sanctions, arms deliveries, and more continues. Trump is on board here.
As for Kim, Bols, and Bibi, I see a huge diff.
And I dont know what USA allies you think are “democracies”. You probably think it’s better over there, somewhere. It’s not. Nearly all oligarchies are the same: a mafia with the fig leaf of voting.
There as a time we all thought European social democracies were “democratic”. A few years of observation have opened my eyes.
Democratic gains were given to the people after the war, because of shared sacrifice during it and because the west wanted to prove they do better than the neighbors next door. (Unfair comparison, because most of the death and building destruction happened in the east.). The oligarchs want all their power back.

Canada should drive up the price of gas by cutting all energy exports top US.
My ground beef costs $10.49 a pound. My filet mignon also costs $10.49 a pound, as does my NY strip, my roasts, etc. That’s the going rate from my local rancher for 1/4 of a steer. Grass fed, I pick up the meat frozen from the person who raised the animal. It’s about 100lbs give or take and lasts my family a year. The cost was $9 a pound when we started just before the pandemic.
100 lbs is a 1/4 of a steer? Would have thought you’d get closer to 200 lbs.
Out of curiosity, how big is your family. 100 lbs / 12 months is only 8 lbs a month or 2 lbs a week. 2 lbs is basically 4 burger patties (8 oz burgers) or two 1 lb steaks. Do you only eat beef once a week?
He is either paying twice what he thinks he is or getting half the beef he is paying for.
My receipt from the farmer states “1/4 beef standard cut grass fed” 97.36 lbs @ 10.49 a pound. AI search states 1/4 beef hanging weight is 125-185 lbs and final packaged weight 90-125 lbs. No biggie – I trust the person I have been buying from and trust that I got the 97ish pounds of meat that I paid for. The other local rancher selling 1/4 shares advertises “A 1/4 beef typically weighs around 100lbs. but this can change seasonally so please ask!” They are currently selling at $14 a pound.
We are 2 adults and 1 kid, so while I think we eat beef fairly often it’s true that a roast can last all week. Even using a pound of ground meat in tacos or another dish usually lasts a few days. Hamburgers themselves are really the only thing we make that uses up the entire pound in one meal. Anyway, it works for us. Having a chest freezer is nice!
this is the way. we buy from an local family farm just a couple with 2 small kids . we even get to see the cow raised well treated, the meat is far superior to factory raised beef. I would recommend for anyone that can. the price is about the same as the store. sometimes less
Can someone clarify for me please – do we like tariffs or we don’t as I see the same people complain when Trump puts tariffs and when he removes tariffs. It is very amusing 🙂
A tariff is essentially another tax. Do you like taxes?
Why would you “like” tariffs which make you pay more taxes for what you purchase.?
I didn’t mention if I like or dislike tariffs. I was just saying I read complains when tariffs get introduced and when they get removed. Before it was because they are taxes and now it is because it will hurt the US farmers.
“ Can someone clarify for me please – do we like tariffs or we don’t”
Sounded like you were asking to me.
Trump creates frictions (costs) and dumps them on us, and then partly removes them and claims credit. So he is a jerk imposing them, and a jerk removing them. Too simple for you?
Which individuals do you see approve of tariffs? Feel free to name names, use the search feature on Mishtalk (the magnifying class in top right corner) and search ‘tariffs’ and let us know who recently was all for them. Then post links to those posts.
The only ones approving of tariffs are MAGA morons and most end up getting banned because they are stupid.
“The only ones approving of tariffs are MAGA morons and most end up getting banned because they are stupid” – that’s really funny 🙂
and most think the export country pays the tarriff 😅
China’s government subsidizes a lot of the export. Taiwan does the same with most of the electronics built there. If you visit those countries you will see that the same stuff there is more expensive than here even with the tariffs. I just came back from Taiwan and the computers and the phones are on average 15-20% more expensive than here. So what do you think is happening – who pays what?
No foreign government or company pays one cent of the tariff to the US government. It is 100% paid by the US importer. The tariff refunds are now going back to those importers.
Yes, they don’t pay the tariffs directly but when they subsidize the price they are effectively paying one way or another. If the imported to US price is let’s say half of what it should be 100% tariff makes it back where it should be. It is a common practice now exporters or importers to declare lower price at US customs to cheat on the tariffs.
And if my mother had wheels she would be a wagon.
Do you always make up stupid examples like that? I bet if you look real hard you can find an example of a $2 toy that would match your “half price” fantasy.
Here’s a real world example. US aluminum imports have increased this year because the US cannot produce more. Tariffs are 50%. US aluminum prices have increased 49%.
So US manufacturers that use aluminum are paying 49% more than their competitors in other countries who don’t have to pay a tariff. How are our manufacturers supposed to compete globally when their input costs are so high? In the first half of 2026, the US imported almost $30 billion of aluminum. The exporters who sell aluminum to the US are not changing their prices.
Since the inception of the Iran War, Trump has been grasping at straws to to try anything & everything to extricate himself from the quagmire that he, and he alone, has caused. The war has been a disaster Economic problems have ensued of which he has no answers for. He is throwing every absurd action at the problems to see what might stick and help himself out before the midterm elections.
I also have noticed that he has thrown everybody that disagrees with him under the bus…Carlson, Greene, etc. Trump states that they have abandoned MAGA. Pretty sure that it is Trump that has abandoned the principals he touted when forming the MAGA party. The MAGA party didn’t leave Trump. Trump abandoned the MAGA party with his reckless forays into foreign wars and his inane economic policies.
You’re just noticing that Trump is a narcissistic moron now? Where have you been since 2016?
I have been paying attention since 2007.
I didn’t realize Trump was a narcissist until just a few years ago after observing my now ex-SIL’s behavior. I have likely come across narcissists numerous times in my life but never made the connection because I didn’t know what to look for. I voted for Trump all 3 times not because I agreed with all or even most of what he said or did, but rather because he was clearly a threat to the establishment based on their reactions to him and thus I anticipated he would undermine the established order through his crass behavior and actions.
I have been wanting to see the US abandon ALL overseas bases since 2007/8 right after I was red pilled. That was never going to happen under establishment types like GWB, BHO, or FJB. But Trump is doing a fantastic job of pulling us out of the Middle East. Sure, we’re being forcibly expelled by Iran and by the Gulf States asking us to leave so they don’t incur Iran’s wrath. As opposed to just voluntarily leaving. But the outcome is the same.
I also had hoped Trump would lay bare for all to see that the worst get on top and so have the effect of making people distrustful of government again. That has happened to an extent.
So all ties can be cast aside, and a war of all against all is cool? Negotiating every new little encounter from the ground up? Is that efficient? Viable? Check out Hobbes’ Leviathan (1651) some time, Impatient? Word-search to life as “nasty, brutish, and short.”
Update at least to the USA founding, for an attempt at accord between competing factions, using government. If men were angels, Madison said, we wouldn’t need government. How true. Hint: men aren’t angels.
Trump fucked MAGA in the ass and then jizzed in its face.
And MAGA deserved all of it and then some.
MAGA got exactly what they voted for.
The old dirty sanchez???
Old Sanchez didn’t even get to vote, last I heard he was deported to El Salvador to a super max. Probably been killed by a right wing death squad upon release.
They love being treated like that.
…. as long as they get to watch somebody else being kicked in the teeth worse.
“MAGA got exactly what they voted for” is mostly untrue. What was promised and how most of the governing has gone since Trump 2.0 are 180 degrees apart, other than border policy. And the alternative was “un-stomachable” if there is such a word. It was a binary choice. Trump’s worst inner demons appear loosened in the 2nd term. I remember the Feb or March 2025 presser with all the elite tech and finance bros on the stage with him and I told a friend “uh-oh…I know where this is going, and it’s not Making America Great”. Naturally I was told some version of “give him time, he knows things we don’t know”, etc. Between Covid and the Biden pounding and lawfare it was understandable that people were looking for some kind of hopium.
If only he’d repeatedly told you his entire economic policy was tariffs, or that he was a racist fucker since he was a kid, or that he likes to grab girls (apparently underage ones) by the pussy. Or that he was willing to attack the Capitol. If only there was some way of having known that before you voted for him three. fucking. times.
You want my sympathetic advice? Look into surgery to get some eyes and ears sewn on. You got exactly what you voted for, either that or you’re a fucking moron.
You’re not a “racist fucker” to want order on the border. Here in blue sanctuary Oregon, a small state, $2 billion a year+ for illegal alien education and medical benefits. Not to mention incarceration and cartel crime costs. It’s not nothing. Open border policy could work with no social welfare programs. That’s not where “we” are.
if you voted for the guy who:
1) Was responsible for the Central Park Five
2) Tried to implement a blanket “Muslim ban”
3) Who said that the US should “stop accepting immigrants from shithole countries”
4) who said on national TV that Haitians were eating “cats and dogs”
You are a racist fucker who got exactly what you voted for.
“ Today, I concluded a deal to substantially lower the price of ground beef for working American families.”
Lol! A deal with himself to lower his own beef tariffs from the current 36% (IEEPA + TRQ) to 0%.
But he won’t say which countries will get the benefit of this temporary tariff removal “deal”. Probably because it hasn’t happened. Now he has to find out which countries will pay him a bribe to get this “deal”.
Two days ago he said he had a “deal” with Canada. Another lie.
And how many times did he say he had a “deal” with Iran to open the strait?
There’s no point even trying to make a deal with Trump because you know he will break it shortly after.
Well said!
Thinking only about the strategery, when would this affect prices to the consumer? 6-7weeks? And do they think a little drop in beef prices will offset all the other price increases people are getting hammered with? Trump’s already on record saying he doesn’t care about high gas prices. He doesn’t care about US sailors. All he cares about is Israel.
Trump thinks he is going to fix the Middle East, as a crowning trophy. His old golf buddy and son in law will march in there and tell everyone what’s what. They’ll do some luxury real estate deals and be home by next week.
Trump is going to allow more Imported and Tariff Free– Ground Beef into America to hopefully supply angry voters with cheaper Hamburger meat before the coming Election. But will cheap Hamburgers be enough to help Republicans at the Ballot Box.? .. But at the same time America is the 2nd largest Exporter of Beef to Foreign Markets which leaves me slightly confused.?
https://globalexporter-br.com/top-10-beef-exporting-countries-2025/
Your point being?
Not everyone likes to diddle kids as much as you do.
Not just expensive. It could also be unsafe. The libertarian kooks have eliminated government programs to test the beef for parasites, bacteria etc. So, it is a free-for-all out there.
Could be yet another chapter in the book titled, “A Libertarian Walks Into A Bear” LOL
I think it was the Trump Admin that cut back staffing at USDA.
The “libertarians” are not in office now.
LOL. Lot of libertarian nitwits applauded the funding cuts. So now, people can play “Lettuce Roulette” instead.
This belongs as much to the idiot libertarians as it does with the Trump admin.
Just blame it on Biden.
That’s easier to type than “libertarian”.
The **policies** are libertarian. That’s what matters. And today’s donorCRAT Party is not your grandfather’s Democratic Party. It is not even your father’s Democratic Party.
I enjoy your analysis of economic news, but your anti Trump tirades are gratuitous. Can we just agree that some of us can’t stand the man and get on to understanding the economy and how to invest it?
Trump impacts the economy on a daily basis. Usually in a negative way. It would be foolish to ignore him.
My investment strategy is to trade the daily volatility that results.
Mish does a superb job of economic analysis. If you don’t like how he does it; go elsewhere.
One of the diehard Maggots? Thanks to the Chief Pedophile of the United States, you will probably live up to the name. You, along with the idiot farmers and ranchers, will get screwed by your cult leader but it’s a small price to pay for your zealotry. Little do you fools know that this country is being utterly and completely destroyed. China laughs when they see how the US is now hated all over the world. Good job, assholes!
yes Russia and china could not have asked for a better plant. I read an article long ago (decades) that russia would win because they would find a way to do exactly what trump is doing.
Luckily for us, the Russians are so misgoverned, their spectacular pile of domestic resources isn’t even exploited well, before they are sinking back into the mire again.
Gee,what do tariffs have to do with the economy?
And who instituted these tariffs?
