By Walt Hickey Beef In the week ending March 15 Americans spent $890.6 million on fresh beef, which is $376 million higher than the same week of 2019, a 73.1 percent bump. That includes a doubling in sales of ground beef, which accounts for about 40 percent of U.S. beef sales. Turns out that the virus news that rattled the country led to a pretty significant run on meat of all kinds. The nation’s grocers sold $422.1 million in chicken (up $183 million over the comparable week of 2019), $186.5 million in pork (up $87.9 million), and $155.1 million in deli meat (which was up 40 percent). Given that the week following was when there was a serious run on supermarkets, those figures are bound to pop higher still.
