Beef price drop nears its limit as government steps in
The Agriculture Department announced it will buy frozen boneless beef to support the cattle market for the first time in nearly 20 years. Prices have fallen with prime beef at 44.60 per 100 pounds in New York versus 59 a year ago, while live cattle prices show similar declines. Officials set spending ceilings on duck, ground, and diced beef and will announce purchase quantities weekly. The drive aims to buoy housewives toward more beef despite weak demand, following price cuts and ongoing retail pressure.
