Beef industry is complicated to understand. Several year drought in parts of the country forced cow calf herd liguidation. Many guy that got out are not going back in. High feed costs contributed. Weather is getting better some restorcking occuring. The heifer cow ratio is getting higher. Indicates cow calf herd is building to some degree. Beef cattle restocking can not turn on a dime. Have to think past the putting in a microwave for a minute mentality.
Exports continue to increase as Japanese, Europeans pay twice the price we do for retail beef.
Bottom line beef prices go in cycles. This herd is now the smallest since 1950. Dry weather, high commodity are easing up. Given enough time the American Farmer will drive beef on the hoof to at or below the cost of production. This cycle is justing going to take longer to see a drop in prices.
Packers, wholesalers, and retailers I have no idea how they will adjust their prices
