Ground Beef Hits Record $6.67 As US Cattle Herd Shrinks To 1951 Levels

Ground beef prices have reached a record $6.67 per pound, up 20.5% annually, driven by a historic cattle shortage. U.S. cattle inventory has fallen to 85 million head—the lowest since 1951—constraining supply while demand remains strong. The USDA forecasts beef production will decline further in 2026, with cattle prices expected to average $240 per cwt, up 7% from 2025. New supply won't meaningfully reach markets until 2028 due to biological production lags.
