Tight cattle supplies remain the dominant driver of ground beef prices in 2026, with the U.S. herd at a 75-year low of 86.2 million head as of January and beef production forecasts revised lower to 25.5 billion pounds amid ongoing liquidation effects from prior droughts and elevated feed costs. Retail ground beef averaged near $6.70 per pound in March, up sharply year-over-year, while USDA projections point to continued 10%+ price gains for the year as fed and non-fed slaughter stays constrained. Strong consumer demand and increased lean-beef imports are providing partial offsets but have not eased the overall tightness, with meaningful herd rebuilding and production relief not expected until 2028.

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.
