Long Term Projections
Summary• Peak prices in 2014.• Expected prices to slowly decline beginning in
2015;– However, October 2015 through April 2016 was very
problematic.– Beef market continues to work itself out of this
• Feed (corn & hay) should be plentiful.• Beef demand continues to be strong• Beef exports being hampered by strength of the
US dollar, but may be changing.• Longer term, expect lower prices for the next
three years; question is where is the bottom?
