CAB Insider
Christmas Plans in August
Early August in the beef market generally sees lackluster fed cattle prices and the final throes of the summer slump in boxed beef values. However, in the modern retail grocery business, it’s high time that end users make their plans for fourth-quarter holiday beef features.

With fed cattle carcass weights now set to steadily increase into at least October, carcass quality grades typically decline beginning in early August.
