Yet her refrigerator and freezer has plenty of it. Considering the price of beef these days, the Caysons are faring better than most. Ground beef is averaging $6.89 per pound nationally, up about 9% over the past year. That's about 10 cents lower than the record set in April. The high prices are driven by a combination of factors including tight domestic cattle supply, high input costs and steady consumer demand. × This page requires Javascript.
