Will rising beef prices ever come down? Here's what experts say [View all]

NEXSTAR) – Beef prices are going to remain high and likely climb even higher before consumers can expect to see any relief in the coming years, experts say.

“There’s nothing anybody can do about it in the short run,” Dr. Derrell Peel, a professor of agriculture economics and the extension specialist for livestock marketing at Oklahoma State University, told Nexstar. “We don’t have enough cattle, and it takes an extended amount of time to produce more. So we’re in it for the foreseeable future.”

The high price of beef has prompted finger-pointing from politicians within the Trump administration and beyond. In separate interviews with Fox Business this past week, Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent blamed the Biden administration for at least some of the problems with supply.

But Democrats have argued that prices of several staple grocery items have only skyrocketed under President Trump, and that his tariffs on beef imports (which he finally said he’d scrap earlier this month) have done nothing but exacerbate the problem.
