The wide variation in the wholesale price of various cuts from the same side of beef is caused largely by demand for the so-called choicer cuts.
The others are, of course, just as wholesome. It seems as though more people than ever are demanding choicer cuts, and their demand sets the price If few people ask for the forequarter cuts, the price of forequarters will automatically drop to a figure low. enough to induce people to buy because of cheapness, Even though certain cuts sell for relatively high prices, other cuts, due to lack of demand, sell so low that our profit from all sources over a period of five years averaged only a fraction of a cent a pound. It is competition between consumers for the choice cuts that keeps prices for those cuts relatively high; an equalizing demand for all parts of the carcass would benefit producer, packer, retailer and consumer. Our average wholesale selling price of all products has fallen about 40 per cent since September 1920.
