      abstract = {This study estimates demand during the 1980-90 period for  wholesale beef cuts by season and by trend.  A data set  containing monthly nominal prices for wholesale cuts and  average choice boxed beef from January 1980 to December  1990 was collected from multiple sources.  The approach  expressed the change in demand for wholesale cuts as the  change in the price ratio of individual cuts relative to  the price of boxed beef.  This approach shows changes in  amount by season and over time relative to the average  wholesale cut.  Brisket, Armbone Chuck, Bottom Gooseneck,  and Knuckle showed the strongest demand in winter and  lowest in summer.  Top (Inside) Round had a clear downward  trend in demand, but the seasonal pattern was less  pronounced and more erratic than the lower-priced cuts.   Top Sirloin Butt had its highest demand in spring and  summer with November-December being the lowest period.   Strip Loin had the strongest warm season demand during the  period which contains Memorial Day.  Ribeye experienced a  seasonal demand highest in November-December and lowest in  January to April.  Full Tenderloin was the most expensive  wholesale beef cut analyzed in the study, and its demand  was highest in November-December.  The study clearly showed  that a change in seasonal demand was responsible for the  major part of price ratio fluctuations for individual  wholesale cuts.},
