Beef Prices
Just in case you haven't noticed that beef
prices are rising, the wholesale prices quoted to me Thursday for my November deliveries are 30%-60% higher than the previous record highs this summer. After the first of the year they expect the prices to rise again. Hamburger will probably go to $4-$5 a pound. If anyone in your area is selling cheap roasts steaks or briskets go stock up on them now and fill your freezer.

Beef Prices
Its more due to the lack of imported beef from Canada. The USA has never
produced enough beef on its own and with the BSE scare, the USA agribusiness consortiums have done a great job on getting the border closed and getting prices pushed up. Of course, the people that actually raise the animals won't see any of the extra money, but the middle men (IBP,etc) are loving it.

The best idea is don't buy beef. Eat more poultry, pork,
lamb (or mutton), farm raised fish. Or be a vegie.

And in Canada, beef is priced high as usual even though farmers are
getting next to nothing for beef animals. Some farmers are shooting newborn calfs and throwing them in the manure pile. So much for "Supply Management". Farmer John |

On the bright side, it looks like the US will start easing import restrictions on Canadian beef early next year. This should help ease the shortage somewhat and help bring prices back down.

Beef producers around here in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia are happy about the prices they're getting. They're seeing nearly double what they got last year this time. They attribute it to the US not importing Canadian beef because of the BSE scare. One ag type in a radio interview on the station my program is on said they were expecting a 2 billion pound shortfall. Billion? Ironically, the BSE business has prompted increased US beef exports to countries that don't want even the hint of BSE-tainted meat. Looks like pork, chicken and lamb will be the featured dinner specials at Chez Pastorio for the foreseeable future. Lots of veggies, too. Go to the peasant approach where beef is a flavoring agent rather than center plate item. Steak houses are going to have a tough time of it (no pun intended) with these prices. Betcha we see a burst of menu creativity coming up. Pastorio |

Hmmm...and I naively believed the Beef prices were going up due to the popularity of the Atkins Diet. Hmmm...wonder how the potato, wheat and rice markets are fairing. Ellen |

Unfortunately, what with the last prosecution of a US company "creatively mixing" foodstuffs, it may not last. (I can't find the article online that I read, otherwise I'd post a link) But then again, as the US hardly does any BSE testing, it's unlikely to find any. http://www.newscientist.com/hottopic...sp?id=23970300 "we don't have it, so why should we look?" -- Tim. If the human brain were simple enough that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn't. |

The side I picked up was 370lbs (170kg), aged 28 days and about $1.20
US/lb... and it is very nice beef......

Strong sales at supermarkets and restaurants this summer are a major reason that prices are so high. As the economy recovers, consumers are dining out more. Also, they are willing to treat themselves to more expensive menu items, such as steaks, when they eat out or eat at home. While strong consumer demand has helped push up beef prices, other factors have also contributed. In May, the United States banned imports of Canadian beef and cattle because of a case of mad cow disease there. That ban caused a marginal reduction in the beef supply here. Top beef buyers Japan and South Korea, also banned Canadian beef and bought more U.S. beef. As a result, U.S. beef supplies became tight and prices went up. Wholesale beef prices are again approaching record levels, after setting a record earlier this summer. Prices should be declining shortly, but high prices will prevail through the holiday season and decline again early in 2004. |

Good advice. If this follows the usual price cycle of agricultural products, the higher prices should encourage more production in areas of the U.S. where the drought is not a factor. That should eventually (and hopefully) put some downward pressure on beef prices. |
