I have missed my old fashioned butcher shop in the mountains and while I have a similar one here it is still a bit of a drive. I have "defaulted" to my local Mennonite owned grocery store (small chain). They offer CAB (Certified Angus Beef) which is close to equal quality to my previous supply.
They would often have "family packs" of porterhouse, NY strips, and T Bones on sale for $8.99/lb.
Now they have no such sales for the past few months and I went in search of the cause---which didn't take long. The primary cause is a beef shortage, brought on by reduced herd sizes. That was caused by a combination of market conditions and feed costs.
It is not expected to ease before sometime next year
