Thanks for joining me today, three days before Christmas and nine days to a new year. Let’s start with looking at beef this week.
Beef production last week was down to 629 thousand head harvested compared to the previous week 652 head. Production will be holiday shortened even more the next couple weeks and I do expect January to start out at lower weekly slaughter levels. Next week is it for high prices on ribeyes and tenderloins, squeeze out as much profit as possible before the big down turn come January. Expect steady increase now on strip loins, chucks, rounds and grinds to make up for those lower middle meat prices.
