Big als had done the same thing - though less conspicuously... Several people noted livestock which was 5-10$ above the "normal" price (the price we regularly see them at, and bought them the week before at). Of course last year when this topic came up (not sure if it was here or on AA), it was said there were above average deaths, transportation costs were higher than expected yadda yadda yadda. So I'd expect that would be the same answer this time around.
