Meat prices change every week. With one supplier, you never know if you are overpaying.
Send us the spec of the cuts you buy most, and we bring back same-spec quotes from 2–3 licensed wholesalers — shown against the USDA benchmark, so you can see exactly where your price stands. No need to switch suppliers, and no cost if you don't buy. We hold no inventory, pad no credit, and sell no rankings.
How it works
One closed loop, from order to reconciliation.
Latest verified market anchor
Wholesale meat prices move daily. Every MeatFirm quote is anchored to the public USDA benchmark, not a sales rep's say-so. The table below shows the most recent benchmark values we have verified; it is updated only when a new USDA report is verified, never silently backfilled.
| Benchmark (USDA AMS) | Value | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Choice boxed beef cutout | $360.26 /cwt | 2026-11-11 |
| Select boxed beef cutout | $347.47 /cwt | 2026-11-11 |
| Pork carcass cutout | $69.34 /cwt | 2026-11-11 |

For Restaurants
- One point of contact for all your meat buying — hot pot, BBQ, and high-volume kitchens first.
- Comparable quotes in hours, in your language, with the benchmark shown.
- No new credit risk games: clear terms before you confirm, pay the supplier directly.
- Your current prices stay private. Your budget is never shown to suppliers.
For Suppliers
- Licensed wholesalers and USDA-inspected processors only. Qualification is separate from payment — you cannot buy placement.
- Receive structured, spec-complete requests instead of messy phone orders.
- Your floor price is never shown to buyers. Quotes are compared on value, not only price.
- Buyers are credit-screened before their first order reaches you.
Our principles
- No inventory. No trucks. No padded credit. We move information, not carcasses.
- No paid rankings, ever. Suppliers buy software and growth, not placement.
- Specs are never guessed. Food safety disputes are settled on delivery evidence, not opinions.
- A wholesale desk, run lean: deep category range, prices checked against the benchmark, deliveries that land on time.
FAQ
Is MeatFirm a wholesaler?
No. MeatFirm never takes title to meat, stores it, or transports it. Meat moves directly between licensed suppliers and your kitchen; we coordinate quotes, orders, delivery and reconciliation.
What does it cost?
Pilot terms are set in the pilot agreement before trading starts — a membership and/or a small transaction fee, taken from verified savings, not from hidden markups. There is no charge to register interest.
Which areas and products first?
Southern California first (Orange County and LA), starting with standardized frozen products for hot pot and BBQ restaurants, then fresh meat and more categories.
