DOJ Announces Antitrust Probe of Major Meatpackers Over Beef Prices

In 1977, just 24% of the beef market was controlled by four major meatpackers; by 1992, this had surged to 71%, and today it stands at an astounding 85%. These four firms now own over 70 subsidiary companies collectively. This consolidation has significantly weakened cattle ranchers' negotiating power and limited their options for selling livestock. With fewer buyers available, meatpackers can exert more control over prices, posing a threat to both American agriculture and national security.
