The beef market is showing some strength, with ribeyes and tenderloins on the rise again for next week. Grinds have been leading the market, with chucks and rounds following suit.

This summer, it's all about ground beef. Strips, ribeyes, and tenderloins are seeing price declines, so delaying the buy on these cuts could save money.

Beef production cutbacks were a bit stronger than I expected with 598K head harvested last week, well down from 622K the week prior. Last year saw 640K head harvested so production going into the summer season is being restrained to push prices higher. And they are pretty successful looking at the cutout. We have higher prices right rolling in as t…

Pork …

This could be an expensive summer for chicken. …

Increases are comi…

Beef production is still d…

The pull back is having the desired affect for the beef producer…

Last week's beef harvest dropped to 583K, continuing a trend of reduced production with some major packers operating only four days a week. Expect another week below 600K.

Beef harvest continues to stay steady, but well below average compared to last year. Top rounds are moving up quickly while middle meats, loins, and ribeyes continue a steady pattern moving up. Buy what you need. The corn surplus is expected to support new biojet fuel technology, so we are not seeing it get below $4 as expected. Soy is holding stea…

Grain prices are decreasing, which is good news for food processors and animal production. Beef production is being reduced, which has caused prices to rise for most items except for ground beef, which is getting cheaper.

Three new cases of Avian Flu were reported affecting 102,000 birds. Cor…

Starting with grains this week, corn is moving lower again and it's probably not done. This is good for everyone (except corn farmers). Soy and wheat are in the same mode. Beef harvest is holding up pretty well, but retailers are not interested in beef at the elevated prices pushed by recent storms. Prices are moving lower on most items, except gro…
  continue reading
 
Beef production recovered nicely after the winter storm disruptions. Packers pushed pricing up pretty quickly, but this doesn't seem sustainable into February. The quick rise prices should move lower towards the end of the month, with middle meats being an exception as they have already bottomed out. Chicken pricing is moving higher as expected. Pr…

Multiple storms in the Midwest have turned the beef market a little more quickly than expected. The decline in the middle meats should last one more week. We'll most likely see increases in the last week of January. Next week is the time to buy middle meats, everything else is buy it now, it will cost more money later. Chicken is up again for next …
  continue reading
 
Bad winter weather in the Midwest had big effects on beef production. Two major packers idled plants completely and several were only running one shift. This will tighten availability.

Surprising all …

We are in peak holiday season for beef pricing. Harvest was up this week but demand seems to have adjusted to the lower harvest numbers. Hopefully we'll see the market make some big changes after a couple of weeks. There were 13 new Avian Flu reports over the last week affecting 836,000 birds. None of this is good news as chicken flocks and turkeys…
