Cattlemen See Beef Prices Climb Amid Feed Costs
American National Cattlemen's Association president Gordon Van Vleck said retail beef prices will rise for several months as feed costs stay high. He noted grain fed cattle now fetch around 50 dollars per 100 pounds, the highest in 48 months, with slaughter rates down and grain markets yielding profits for fatteners. The Agriculture Department warned prices will push up overall food costs this spring, while some fats and oils may ease the rise.
