Beef Price Cycles explains how inventories, feed costs, and packer power shape farm-to-retail beef prices.

This accessible report examines the 1990s cattle cycle and compares it with previous cycles to uncover what changed and why. It questions common beliefs about market concentration and shows how price movements across farm, wholesale, and retail levels interact. This edition presents clear findings from multiple analyses, including an asymmetric model of price movements. It explores whether the 1990s cycle was unusually severe, and it offers perspective on how cattle cycles and price spreads relate to market structure. The work is grounded in historical data and practical implications for producers, policymakers, and industry observers.

How cattle cycles develop and how key variables like inventories and feed costs interact with prices.
What price spreads reveal about the farm, wholesale, and retail beef markets.
Evidence on the impact of packer concentration on producer prices.
How an asymmetric modeling approach helps explain price movements across market levels.

Ideal for readers of market analysis and policy discussions, this book provides a data-driven view of cattle cycles, price spreads, and industry structure. It helps farmers, researchers, and industry stakeholders understand past cycles to better gauge future market dynamics.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex world of the U.S. beef industry, exploring the cyclical nature of cattle inventories, the dynamics of price spreads, and the impact of packer concentration. The author sheds light on the challenges faced by cattle producers during the 1990s, a period marked by low cattle prices, widening farm-to-retail price spreads, and concerns about the market power of beef packers. Through meticulous analysis, this book compares the cattle cycle of the 1990s with previous cycles, revealing both similarities and differences. It examines the influence of various factors, including weather, grain exports, government programs, and changes in beef industry structure, on cattle inventory fluctuations. The author provides insights into the historical evolution of packer concentration and its potential effects on cattle prices and price spreads. This book challenges the perception that the cattle cycle of the 1990s was exceptionally harsh on producers, highlighting that previous cycles, particularly the one in the 1970s, presented even greater challenges. It delves into the complexities of price spreads, explaining the reasons behind the widening gap between farm and retail prices and the declining farm value share of the retail beef dollar. The author concludes by offering a nuanced perspective on the impact of packer concentration, suggesting that its effects on cattle markets may not be as significant as often perceived.
