Are you cutting back on beef?
Beef Is Getting Harder To Afford
Ground beef prices have increased by nearly 16% from a year ago, with beef steaks also up by 16%.
Experts predict that high beef prices are likely to persist, with potential further increases in the short-term.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture forecasts a rise of more than 10% in beef prices in 2026, possibly reaching up to 18%.
The main reason for the surge in beef prices is the shrinking U.S. cattle herds due to drought conditions, leading to higher feed costs and herd culling.
Despite the high prices, U.S. consumers continue to show strong demand for beef.
