Meat price slowdowns hit retail, NFC weighs action
The NFC national headquarters notes price adjustments since Labor Day as an indicator of holding action but retail boosts may not be caused by it. President Oren Lee Staley traveled to Minnesota for meetings and was due back today. Reports show meat price rises are spotty, with some Des Moines supermarkets up 5 to 10 cents per pound, while others hold. Terminal markets and buying stations paid more for livestock this week as Chicago stockyards reports show gradual livestock shipments to retailers.
