Buy local beef

Adam: If you go to beefmaps.com (a website by The Beef Initiative) and you find a rancher near you, you can go to that rancher, go right to his door, say, “Hi, I heard about you on the No Agenda Show. Texas Slim sent me. I’d like to shake your hand and buy your beef.” You’ll find that it’s significantly cheaper than in the grocery store, and it’s really good American beef.

And there’s not a lot of them; it’s the minority of ranchers. But there’s a real movement for local ranchers to feed their local community. This whole thing. And by the way, President Trump’s not wrong in my mind. You know, Argentinian beef is not necessarily bad beef—in fact, they know a lot of stuff. Go to Los Gauchos, isn’t that the big chain of Argentinian beef outlets? It’s tasty.

But what we’re being served in the supermarket is crap from JBS. And you gotta stay away from that. I checked with Tina this morning—I said, because she orders from K&C Cattle—we get ours from them, they’re in Luling, southeast of Austin. I asked, “Have the prices gone up?” She said maybe four percent, which would kind of be in line with inflation, but certainly not more than that. And it’s cheaper than H-E-B, our supermarket here in Fredericksburg, which is all over Texas. They’re OK, but I won’t eat their beef—and it’s too expensive.

I’m not sure the president knows exactly what he’s doing here. Yeah, it’s going to bring down the price in the supermarket, but it’s just going to be more crap that people are still paying way too much for. And this has been going on for a long time.

So just go to beefmaps.com, find your local rancher, drive up, and you can buy a lot of beef—or relatively little amount.
