No may analysis did not leave that. You are so inept that you do not even understand what I wrote. The question was did beef demand improve or not. The answer is YES. If total demand for all meats improves, which it did at varying rates, that is even better. But that is so far over your head you will never understand that. I have truly forgotten more about this subject then you will ever know. That is a fact of life unfortunately for you.

Ironically the price gains in 2004 were mostly supply drive, the second largest decline in annual domestic beef production on record. I have stated this many times of these forums.

Go back an read my entire comment. I talked about the period from 1999-2005 that is inclusive of 2004-get it. The result stands. The bulk of the price gains in beef during the 1999-2005 period are the result of improved beef demand. In fact I checked my data in real prices this PM and per capita supply/consumption this year is virtually unchanged from 1998. Yet retail beef prices adjusted for inflation are $.70 per pound above 1998. During the same period if I recall correctly fed cattle prices averaged $21.38/cwt more than in 1998 with virtually no change in per capita supply. Now when I took econ if you sold the same quantity of goods at a substantially higher price that was representative of an upward shift in the demand curve. I know now that you never got that far with you econ education.

From your prior post you stated "if supply does not go down prices cannot go up". I replied you did not know what demand was and you just made the dumbest statement I have heard. You exposed for all to see how little you really know about supply/demand analysis. Do you remember that post? Well the market proved you wrong, I am just the messenger. Prices did advance while supply was virtually unchanged when comparing 2005 to 1998. The bulk of that gain has gone to produces in the form of higher prices they are getting today.

Don't waste my time on a subject that I know and everyone else has figured out you know nothing about.
