Beef Prices Soar as US, Australia Grapple with Demand

About this episode

Beef prices are rising in the US due to increased demand, with Australia also experiencing robust cattle processing despite drought conditions.

Beef prices soaring in the US as demand surges, driven by grilling season and strong international demand, particularly from Australia. Despite drought, Australias cattle processing remains robust, boosted by US and Chinese demand. US Secretary of Agriculture blames shrinking herd on drought, climate policies, and meat processors, but analysts argue packers are losing money. High prices expected to persist, with relief anticipated when US herd rebuilds in a couple of years. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
