Consumers are feeling the pinch as beef prices continue to climb. The price hike is hitting Tyson Foods hard, with the company lowering its profit forecast. The company's third fiscal quarter saw a drop in beef volume, according to Seeking Alpha.

Reuters and Bloomberg.com both attribute this to tight US cattle supplies. The Wall Street Journal notes that rising beef costs are pressuring Tyson's bottom line. The company's stock, listed on the NYSE as TSN, has fallen in response to the news.

The open question is how long beef prices will remain high, and how Tyson Foods will adapt.
