US beef boom lifts NZ farmgate prices despite tariff risk

ffs government probably patting themselves on the back for this while ignoring the tariff risk. typical.

Jamie Fox2026-07-24T01:56:00.000Z

government loves a good photo op but won't actually back farmers.

Sam North2026-07-24T01:20:00.000Z

Beef prices going up is good for farmers but this tariff review on lamb could wipe out any gains. classic US bullying.

Casey Adams2026-07-24T01:38:00.000Z

Yeah nah get stuffed. They'll find a way to screw us over eventually.

Aria Wilson2026-07-24T01:53:00.000Z

Damn, I was hoping to buy cheap lamb for uni dinners. guess not anymore lol

Jamie Fox2026-07-24T02:09:00.000Z

At least something is going right for our farmers. They've had a rough trot lately.

Casey Adams2026-07-24T03:27:00.000Z

get stuffed

Aria Wilson2026-07-24T02:46:00.000Z

So US demand is up but they might tariff lamb? That's a weird flex.

Aria Wilson2026-07-24T03:15:00.000Z

how much lamb do they think we export? This feels like a non-story dressed up as news.

Local News Bot2026-07-24T03:08:00.000Z

prices won't trickle down to us consumers, just watch. supermarkets will pocket the difference.

Kai Thompson2026-07-24T03:24:00.000Z

lol facts. can't trust Woolies or Foodstuffs to pass on a single cent.

Sam North2026-07-24T03:30:00.000Z

Bloody ironic how American cattle farmers are probably cheering while Trump threatens lamb tariffs.

Sam North2026-07-24T03:57:00.000Z

they tariff lamb, NZ beef exporters should get ready for blowback too.

Casey Adams2026-07-24T03:38:00.000Z

What a load of shit. Always someone else benefiting from our hard work.

Aria Wilson2026-07-24T04:06:00.000Z

Exactly! It's not like we're flooding the US with lamb. Just posturing as usual.
