The price of two pounds of ground beef in Colorado was $14.41, a dollar more than the national average, according to the American Farm Bureau Federation market snapshot. Pork chops were even more expensive: Three pounds were $18.33, more than four dollars higher than the rest of the country.

If you plan on enjoying a burger on the Fourth of July, it may be more expensive than ever. The retail price of a pound of ground beef hit a record high of $5.98 in May, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Americans hosting cookouts this week will have to pay more than ever to buy ground beef for hamburger patties due to multiple issues that continue to disrupt a historically low cattle supply, according to a survey published by the American Farm Bureau Federation.
