# Beef steadily gathering price strength in the United States - Selina Wamucii | Food & Agriculture News

> US beef retail prices kept climbing into early 2025, with sirloin reaching $11.97 per pound in January, a record. Ground beef averaged $5.55 per pound in March. The reopening of Mexican cattle imports had not cooled prices, as US cattle inventories are at one of their lowest levels in seven decades.

## Why it matters

Persistently strong retail beef prices reflect tight cattle supplies and support fed and feeder cattle values. Reopened Mexican imports so far are too small to ease the supply shortage.
