Tight U.S. cattle supplies, with the national herd at a 75-year low of 86.2 million head as of January 2026, continue to underpin elevated ground beef prices amid ongoing herd contraction. Retail prices reached approximately $6.90 per pound in April 2026, up sharply year-over-year, as beef production forecasts for 2026 were trimmed to 25.547 billion pounds on slower slaughter rates. Strong consumer demand, limited lean-trim availability, and higher imports of processing beef have supported values, while USDA projections anticipate further 5-12% gains in beef and veal prices for the year. Slow herd rebuilding, driven by prior drought impacts and elevated input costs, points to sustained supply tightness through mid-2026 before any meaningful expansion.

The St. Louis Fed bases its numbers for ground beef prices on the BLS's CPI release. This market will immediately resolve to "Yes" upon a qualifying update of the St. Louis Fed's chart. If no data for any month of 2026 is released by the scheduled date for the January 2027 CPI release, this market will resolve according to the data for 2026 already available at that time.
The resolution source for this market measures prices to the third decimal place. Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
