Was wandering through Woollies the other day having a browse along the meat section.

Noticed that lamb cutlets and lamb racks were $50 a kilo. Not that long ago they were $39 a kilo. Legs of lamb were $20 a kilo and they previously were around $12.99 and $9.99 on special.

Not sure what whole lambs are going for but cut up that is getting right up there

Have you noticed a big price increase where you are.

Hi Derek
Yes I noticed meat prices the other day. But I believe the meat prices at Aldi and our local Fresh and Save store are pretty good. Example Fresh and save have Australian Pork lion chops on sale this weekend $9.99 per kilo.

Our local butcher's prices have been going up also. Can't afford lamb or steaks these days unless they are on special.

After the drought not that many head going for the meatworks. Farmers are buying to restock their herds. Was reading about it 2 weeks ago and they were predicting a large increase in meat prices.

Can not afford to buy from the local butchers and even Woolies getting expensive here. Bought second grade rump for $10 kilo last week and made mince out of it. Cheers Bear

I spoke to my brother about this the other day (he's a cattle farmer). While the prices are up slightly at the saleyards for steers going to abattoirs it's not really reflective of the increase in retail prices.

Herd stock is getting pricey. Which means the price rises will be around for a while.

Hi Derek
Your local is he the other side of the main road ?
I am going to Aldi tomorrow going to see what they have
maybe a butterfly lamb. I got some roasting pork the other day for $7.per kilo. going to try casseroles.
It would be great to get a little local butcher I could use.

Yes Kev, Schultes Butcher over the other side of the highway. He has really good meats and small goods but you certainly pay for it.

Still get legs of lamb down here for $12.50 on special.

What about the bulk buy butchers up there, one at Beenleigh, City and Caboolture/ Morayfield. We use to buy most of ours at the Morayfield butcher

We have someone building a rather large butcher shop at Gatton. Hopefully they will be a bulk buy butcher.

Mind you I have never been that good at managing bulk meat and would need a small freezer to cope with it.
