Beef Prices Spark Counterbarrage From Livestock Groups
In Washington, livestock groups defend beef value amid rising prices for housewives. The National Livestock Feeders Association says red meats remain a strong buy given living standards and wages. Farmers note higher costs and claim live cattle prices only recently yielded decent profits. Bill House of the American National Cattlemen's Association argues prices should reflect free market operations. Despite price rises, analysts cite a drop from June peaks, with August cattle prices near 27 dollars per hundredweight, about 87 percent parity, underscoring a debate on who bears the burden of food costs.
