Abstract

Concern has been expressed by many people, from producers to consumers, regarding the adequacy and accuracy of reported wholesale carcass beef prices and their use in pricing slaughter cattle and beef. The controversy has generated numerous government investigations and lawsuits beginning at least as early as the mid-1960s (General Accounting Office, 1977, 1978; National Commission on Food Marketing). Despite the decade and a half of criticisms about cattle and beef pricing and price reporting, and the importance of the carcass beef market to the cattle and beef subsector, agricultural economists have devoted surprisingly few resources to analyzing carcass beef market performance.
