Why Expensive Beef Blamed on Costs and By-Products
A Texas Agricultural Extension Service meat specialist cites reduced use of animal by-products and higher delivery costs as the main reasons for the gap between farm and retail beef prices. Roy W. Snyder notes by-product profits have fallen from 28 to 12 13 dollars per 1000 pounds of live beef, with other expenses like labor, paper, rent, and utilities rising. He adds that pricing focuses on high-demand cuts, often from the forequarter, which require skilled prep in the home.
