The Documentary Podcast · Follow the money: The beef with US beef · 16 Jul 2026 podcast

Now, he's tried to get round the price of beef.

He once cut his patties with mushroom.

40% mushroom, 60% beef.

So he went back to all beef and quietly changed something else instead, the cuts of the meat he uses.

So that's the restaurant's answer to the record cattle price.

Not a bigger menu price, but cheaper cuts and thinner margins.

So, Gideon, we've followed the whole way down, the rancher, the feedlot, the packer and the restaurant.

Now, everyone has said the same thing, that they're not getting richer despite prices reaching record highs.

But surely someone has to be.

So who is it?

So the extra money that I'm paying for my burger, where's that actually going?

So we're back to where we started with those small cow herds.

So the £11.95 that you pay for a burger in Omaha isn't a profit that someone's taking off the top, it's the price of

of there not being enough cattle.

America has fewer of them than at almost any point since 1951.

And Gideon, you can't just conjure up a cow overnight, can you?

So the president's hunting for a villain, the ranchers are suing.

But the thing pushing up the price on your plate isn't a company deciding to take more.

It's a shortage that started with the weather working its way down the chain until it reaches you.

Perhaps the biggest surprise, despite all these price rises, demand from consumers has remained stable.
