Southern CAL Palm Desert
I am retired and limited to using store scooters so shopping options are somewhat limited. Costco has limited selection in southern cal, how about the rest of you ? It's sad to hear the producers are killing thousands of pigs per day beacuse there is no one to process. We should be able somehow to provide free meet without killing pigs and I assume cows. Any thoughts out there ?

In MN there is a shortage, however a few farmers are selling pigs at break even to at least not lose. We are actually getting one this way as we know someone else getting a few for their families.

the issue on culling is as manufacturing falls,it costs them more to keep the animals alive than it does to cut their loss. This is a US issue as we consolidated processing to large corporations versus using the ma and pop meat lockers of yesteryear. Europe still has those running so they have no issues.
 
Chicken only in Michigan for the last few days. At least where I have shopped. Yesterday morning it was nothing but wings and I was there the moment the store opened.
