The USDA Economic Research Service published its March 2021 Livestock, Dairy, and Poultry Outlook, analyzing month-to-month changes in the WASDE report for beef, pork, lamb, poultry, eggs and dairy. The page also lists releases dated 2026, indicating it is a generic index page rather than new analysis.
The outlook reflects USDA's view of livestock and dairy balance sheets, which feed into price expectations for meat and dairy markets.
