The latest number for demand of U.S. produced beef is looking good for the cattle industry. Kansas State University Livestock Economist Glynn Tonsor says beef demand is trending upwards ending 2021 and starting 2022.

Tonsor says while the numbers for the domestic demand of beef were very good the export demand was even stronger.  Tonsor says seeing the high demand for beef coupled with the lack of supply it's no surprise we are seeing higher beef prices.
