Brazilian processor Marfrig Global Foods SA warned the US cattle herd will continue shrinking through the midpoint of the decade. Less supplies will pressure meatpackers and keep the prices of steak and hamburgers at elevated levels.
During a conference call, Tim Klein, the head of Marfrig's North American operation, explained the availability of fattened animals for meatpackers to slaughter and process should trough between 2025 and 2026. He said this is because ranchers have not yet started keeping cows for breeding.
As we've noted, years of drought and high feed costs forced ranchers across the Midwest to send the cows to slaughterhouses, leading to a sharp reduction in the nation's overall herd size. In January, the beef cow herd size was the smallest since 1962.
Also, US beef exports are forecasted to slide 14% this year from 2022 to 3 billion pounds, the lowest since the early days of the Covid pandemic when plant closures crushed meatpackers. The USDA warned US beef production is expected to decline further next year.
Last week, Pete Bonds, a Texas-based cattle producer, told Reuters, "The future of this industry is not here in the United States."
Tips to get more protein
The best way to combat a protein deficiency? Work on getting more protein in your meals. Romito offers up the following advice:
Include protein at every meal. Romito doesn’t recommend trying to cram all your protein into one meal. Instead, she says it’s best to split it up throughout the day. “If you get protein at every meal, it makes it easier to hit your total by the end of the day.”

Most people think success is about adding more.
More projects. More contacts. More noise.
In reality, the breakthroughs often come from subtraction.
Removing the one offer that drains you.
Declining the meeting that adds no value.
Letting go of the client who doesn’t respect your work.
If you feel stuck, ask yourself:
What can I remove to make everything else work better?

In 2007, ‘locavore’ – a person who only eats food grown or produced within a 100-mile (161km) radius – was the Oxford Word of the Year. Now, 15 years later, University of Sydney researchers urge it to trend once more . They have found that 19 percent of global food system greenhouse gas emissions are caused by transportation.
This is up to seven times higher than previously estimated, and far exceeds the transport emissions of other commodities. For example, transport accounts for only seven percent of industry and utilities emissions.
