SC - Price of butter

>We had a drought in the Central US.  The choice was trim the herds or truck
in feed.  A lot of people trimmed the herds, so beef got inexpensive, but
dairy products were in short supply and the price went up accordingly.  

Here in Oklahoma, butter was running $3.59/lb for the least expensive brand.
Yesterday, it was $2.99/lb, which means either demand dropped off or
supplies are increasing or both.<

Wow is butter expensive in the states!!! We pay 2.99 here and I thought that
was alot for solidified grease (albeit it does taste good)! With the
exchange, you're looking at pretty hefty coinage for something that's so bad
for you!! Although I will admit to being a butter snob. I can't abide
margarine, even if it does look like butter. So I will NEVER use it even if
it is cheap at 0.49 lb. What is that stuff anyway??
