# Beef prices climb nationwide as supply tightens, Indiana stable

National shortage impact: A 1% drop in the U.S. beef cow herd and reduced slaughter rates are contributing to higher prices in most states. Indiana’s unique position: Favorable weather and diversified farms have kept Indiana’s beef supply steady and prices relatively stable. Restructuring ripple effects: Tyson Foods is closing three plants but expanding in Texas, as drought and border closures squeeze supply.
