# International demand keeps Texas beef prices stable - Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association

> Texas economists say beef prices should hold steady in 2019 as strong export demand absorbs rising domestic supply, with no major rally expected. Cattle numbers are projected to decline in 2020, which could support prices later.

## Why it matters

Sideways cattle prices and strong export absorption keep feeder demand steady for feed buyers in the near term. A herd decline in 2020 would tighten supply and could lift cattle values later.
