Bad winter weather in the Midwest had big effects on beef production. Two major packers idled plants completely and several were only running one shift. This will tighten availability. If you need middle meats, buy what you need. Other cuts will be better to buy sooner than later.
Chicken production was up slightly. Wings, breasts, and tenders are moving higher but chicken is still a good protein buy. Ten new cases of Avian Flu were reported affecting 1.6 million birds.
Pork bellies closed over $100 this week. With production slightly up and headcount slightly down, plenty of pork is still available at a good value.
There is plenty of corn for food, feed, and fuel. Soy demand is lacking, driving prices lower.
