He recalls 15 cents a pound in 1940s ads and two pounds for a quarter, attributing current gains to dwindling local cattle supplies and rising costs. Stark sources steers from Creston auction, mostly Amish suppliers, and laments small farmers leaving the business. He and his wife Rachel run the shop. son Bob helps.
