Texas drought has rendered many Houstonians bankrupt. Many are even forced to sell out their last herds of cattle. Houston news informed that despite the current changes in the weather and a spell of rain did not work to eliminate total chances of drought in Texas. This will have a direct impact on the meats and food resources. The wildfires of 2011 still remain clear in the minds of the victims and more than 80% of the rangeland is experiencing poor condition.

The Houston weather news indicates that the coming year may see similar or even worse situation. The supply of feeder and live cattles has gone down considerably down. The trading cost is around $130 and $120 per hundred weights of these cattles.

The economists indicate that forward contracts and even the advance sales are being dealt at very high prices of all times. Houston news indicates that this trend may continue in the year ahead. As such the meat is exported to areas that are ready to pay high for the products.

There are grocery stores and the restaurants are reaping the benefits of this change of cost in the meat products. Higher grade of meat is not easily available in Houston. As per the officials and the industry reports seen in Houston local news, there is no chance the prices can be avoided. Cost goes up and there are rare days when they go down.

There are many large restaurants that are not clearing the air about the increasing beef cost and their plans to handle it as per the Houston daily news. The scenario is only about to get bad in 2013 as per the President of Market Vision, John Barone.
