Oklahoma State and Texas A&M economists expect cattle prices to rise on average in 2025, supported by tight supply after a small cattle industry at the start of 2024. Fed beef production rose and cow slaughter fell sharply in 2024, and retail beef demand stayed strong.
They warn that volatility will stay high and that risk management will be important.
