Agricultural economists in the U.S. have billed beef <\/u><\/a>cattle prices as performing positively of all commodities in a shrinking agricultural economy, popular as Ag economy. <\/u><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a survey led by the University of Missouri, Ag economists concluded that beef cattle prices would be the highest in 2024 while those for dairy would be the lowest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bullish price outlook for beef cattle over dairy cattle is due to several industry-related factors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of these was insufficient feed for dairy cattle in early 2023 due to floods, which left the sector struggling.  Although milk prices have risen as a result, the national average in 2023 is well below that of 2022. The 2023 prices are $17.75 per hundredweight<\/u><\/a> ($0.403 a liter) while those of 2022 averaged $21.96 per CWT ($0.50 per liter). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pat Westhoff, director of the University of Missouri\u2019s Food and Agricultural Institute (FAPRI)<\/u><\/a> sees no surprise in the sector\u2019s performance. He opined that given the increment in feed prices, dairy farmers had their milk prices \u201cin the tank<\/u><\/a>\u201d in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The positive outlook on beef cattle prices, on the other hand, comes from oncoming low supply of meat. Ag economists predict a shortage of meat, including poultry, up to March 2024, which could keep beef prices high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current beef cattle prices in the U.S. have been rising by a few cents each month. In June, 2023, a hundredweight of live weight beef cow cost $172.85 and by September it had hit $179.09<\/u><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The highest federal average was in July, 2023 when the price reached\u00a0$292 per hundredweight\u00a0<\/u><\/a>\u00a0($5.84 per kg) for a medium-sized cow. The prices conform to the \u00a0national average of\u00a0$3 to $9<\/u><\/a>\u00a0per live weight kg.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The price climb began in the first quarter. By April, 2023, young cattle were selling $22 more <\/u><\/a>per hundredweight than in Quarter 1 of 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, there are other positive-looking commodities in U.S.\u2019 Ag economy besides beef cattle, which include soybeans and sorghum. Rice, wheat and hogs, on the other hand, join dairy at the bottom of the list. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
