The retail price of 100% ground beef in the United States has risen significantly in the last two decades. In 2018, a pound of ground beef cost 3.73 U.S. dollars, up from 2.41 U.S. dollars in 2008. The price of ground beef peaked in 2014 at 4.16 U.S. dollars per pound and has since decreased.
Cattle and beef production in the U.S.
In 2017, there were over 30 million beef cows in the United States. Compared to sheep, pigs, and chickens, cows are very expensive to raise and require much more water, feed, and land per calorie generated. Though beef production fluctuates from year to year, there has been a positive trend in beef production in the last several years in the United States.
