It was a dark and stormy night, and Cdonahey41 managed to scribble:

> The price went way up before the mad cow problems/

In Australia the price of lamb has skyrocketed from about $3/kg to $10/kg, partly because of drought, and partly because of the collapse of the price of wool. The number of sheep has dropped from 150 million to 100 million.
But I can buy pork chops for $4/kg.

Also milk costs $1.20/litre and I can buy ice cream for $1 per litre. Go figure.
