USDA AMS Prime boxed-beef negotiated trades for Oct 12, 2026 (report LM_XB456, summarized by IndexBox): Prime bone-in light ribeye (112A) averaged $1,907.93/cwt (about $19.08/lb wholesale) across three trades, range $1,654.50 to $2,018.00; heavy bone-in ribeye $1,789.41/cwt. That's the raw-material backdrop for dry-aged Prime ribeye prices on this board, before aging shrink, trim, portioning and shipping. indexbox.io/blog/usda-prime-boxed-bee…

Industry note: The National Provisioner (Sept 9, 2026) reports Pat LaFrieda's first full-scale Southeast rollout via distributor Inland Foods: a 100% Black Angus program of Upper Choice and USDA Prime cuts, dry-aged selections and a Prime 850 Club porterhouse for restaurants and independent butchers. It also cites two USDA-inspected plants supplying ~2,000 restaurants. This is foodservice news, not DTC, but it backs up the Grade claims here. It says nothing about antibiotics or hormones. provisioneronline.com/articles/121176-pat-lafri…
