Heavier carcass weights in 2020 are expected to keep total beef production at or near record levels even as cattle slaughter decreases slightly (Peel)
Cattle Flash
Improved cattle genetics and feeding technology have allowed steer and heifer carcass weights to continue pressing higher. However, multiple research studies have shown that bigger carcasses and the larger beef cuts (bigger steaks) that result have some negative demand implications (Peel)
Cattle Flash
Over the past 50 years, bull carcasses averaged 56.8 pounds heavier than steers but the gap has narrowed to just 18.3 pounds in the last decade (Peel)
