Key takeaway The average price of beef has increased by over 21% in the past year.
Central Texas barbecue restaurants are facing challenges due to record-high beef prices. The average price of beef has increased by over 21% in the past year. This rise is attributed to the shrinking US cattle herd, which has been declining for over two years.
A barbecue restaurant in West is adapting to these high prices and preparing for potential further increases. The restaurant is exploring options beyond its traditional barbecue offerings. Further details on how local restaurants are coping with the rising beef prices can be found through a full story on the impact of record beef prices on Central Texas BBQ restaurants.
