Just as I told some friends of mine back when the toilet paper shortage, people are more concerned with wiping their butts than eating. Well not anymore. Suddenly we now have a predicted meat shortage. Let the hoarding begin.
Be ye an optimist, pessimist, or realist it comes down to facts. The only problem with facts, you don’t know who’s telling the truth! Me? I like to think Hope Springs Eternal, but people are acting more like the earth is off its axis, which if it were, we’d be n worse shape than a pandemic.

Cattle are big animals and it takes a long time to grow one. There are two stages - Mothers raise babies, then they grow some/a lot, then the half grown ones are sold to people who 'finish' them - just like rich girls in the early part of the 20th century. Our last year's calves, fed over winter here, are now ready to be sold to be finished to be sold again and turned into beef. Guess what? We can't sell them because of the virus/people getting together rules. So now this year's crop of babies, nicest we've had in a long time due to the fact that it hasn't been cold and rainy and snowy when they are being born and during their first weeks of life, is sharing existence here with last years calves who should have gone to the sale barn a while ago. And that says nothing of slaughter, cutting, transport, etc. etc.
My son says though to your first question there is a lot of meat in storage... at your end of the market.

They are reporting that our grocery stores will be out of meat by the week-end! Of course, the media puts everyone in a panic so they will go hoard the meat. I am just thankful I got a hair cut!

And know what? We've just talking about supply not about money or prices or recipes. You know.
Plus you understand that a lot of the shortages are due to having separate supply chains for commercial (now mainly closed) and consumer (now mainly at home).
