Most of it is due to severe droughts in pasture/rangeland areas of Texas and other places the cows grazed and produced the calves.

Some of it is. But dropping milk prices and ethanol which is causing feed prices to skyrocket are important, too.

Oh, and let's not forget the never-ending money-printing at the Fed.
