Washington experts say a renewed rise in cattle and wholesale beef prices may not force higher retail prices. Agriculture Department records show steer carcass prices peaked at 58.75 cents a pound in February and fell to 52.90 by April. Retailers typically absorb small hikes without changing shelf prices, with a potential 3.8 cent rise in beef at retail if wholesale costs jump.
