Description: US beef prices have reached record levels, adding pressure on families already struggling with inflation. Ground beef costs four times more than it did 25 years ago, while steak prices are up 10 percent this year. Fewer ranchers, smaller herds and a supply chain vulnerable to drought or disease have contributed, with cattle numbers at a 75-year low.
