Beef and Pork Price Cuts Seen Possible
The American Meat Institute forecasts lower pork and some beef prices due to rising marketings of hogs and cattle. Pork wholesale prices in Chicago have fallen about 17 percent since midsummer, with skinned hams down 16 percent and cured bacon 29 percent. A near record pig crop may further ease pork costs, while beef marketings could ease braising cuts. OPS notes consumer pass through for wholesale pork cuts, but beef dealers face no mandatory pass through. Officials say December beef slaughter for armed forces may exceed November volume.
