Brad shares two studies He presented at the American Dairy Science Association annual meeting. First, he examines records from more than 150,000 lactations to compare genetic predictions for somatic cell score and clinical mastitis. The results suggest that PTA for somatic cell score is more useful for predicting and ranking cows by observed somatic cell count than PTA for mastitis.He also discusses a study comparing Holstein and crossbred heifers for feed intake, methane emissions, rumination, and feeding behavior. Although methane produced per kilogram of feed was similar across breed groups, smaller crossbred heifers consumed four to five pounds less dry matter per day. The findings highlight how genetics, breed, sensors, and precision feeding data could help producers improve herd health and heifer management.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

Why more farmers are opening their gates to the public - all week we're looking at agri-tourism.Scientists across the world are investigating ways to reduce the climate change gas methane produced by livestock, using feed supplements made of synthetic chemicals, tannins, fats and even seaweed. Asparagopsis is a red seaweed that reacts with enzymes in the final stages of digestion and stops methane from being produced. The cost of abattoir inspections is proving contentious in Scotland where Food Standards Scotland is the body responsible for these.Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

Futures lower; cash generally quiet; boxed beef mixed on light volume; cash feeders higher; solid export sales; Cattle-on-Feed viewed as bearish front months, supportive to back months.

Join Jeff Tigger Erhardt, Rebecca Wanner AKA BEC and their crew as they hear the current state of the cattle business, from feeder calf sales, to heifer retention, to packer margins.  Plus we have the latest news, market recaps and lots more of the cow stuff wrapped into this all-new episode of the Ranch It Up Radio Show.  Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. Cattle Industry News JBS USA has announced plans to close two facilities as part of an effort to improve efficiency and focus on future growth. The company will shut down its beef production plant in Pennsylvania, and its value-added processing facility in Memphis, Tennessee. JBS says the move is part of a larger strategy to modernize operations, improve efficiency, and expand production of value-added food products. The company says production from the two facilities will be shifted to other JBS operations, and customers should not see any disruption in supply.  The announcement comes after JBS invested in facilities in Texas, Georgia, and Iowa to expand  prepared foods production, modernize plants, and improve efficiency. Earlier this year, the company also combined its beef and case-ready businesses to create a more streamlined operation. The JBS CEO says JBS continues to invest heavily in the United States and the future of food production, while making sure its operations remain competitive and efficient. The company says consumer demand for protein remains strong and believes these changes will help position JBS for long-term growth. Last fall, Tyson Foods permanently closed its beef processing facility in Lexington, Nebraska, eliminating approximately 3,200 jobs and removing nearly 5% of total U.S. beef slaughter capacity. More recently, labor disputes have emerged at several major processing facilities. Approximately 1,700 workers at Cargill's beef processing plant in Fort Morgan, Colorado, were locked out after contract negotiations between the company and union representatives failed to produce a ratified agreement. The Fort Morgan facility accounts for nearly 5% of total U.S. beef production. JBS also faced labor challenges earlier this year when nearly 4,000 workers at its Greeley, Colorado, beef plant participated in a strike before ultimately approving a new labor contract.   REFERENCE: https://meatingplace.com/jbs-to-close-beef-plant-value-added-facility/?utm_source=omeda&utm_medium=email&utm_cid=1103020073&utm_campaign=MTGMCD260614015&utm_date=20260615-0300   https://www.northernag.net/jbs-announces-closure-of-beef-production-plant-and-value-added-facility/ New World Screwworm Update Here's the latest on New World Screwworm.  As of Monday, June 15th, the total number of domestic cases is now at 12, 11 are considered active and 1 inactive with 0 active wildlife and feral cases.  Counties in Texas include Sutton, an inactive case discovered in a sheep.  Edwards county with cases discovered in cattle and goats.  Tom Green County, a case in cattle.  Zavala County, cases in cattle.  Gillespie (guh-LES-pee) County, a case in goats.  And La Salle County, cases in cattle.  In New Mexico, Lea County had that case in a dog.  Livestock and pet owners, wildlife game farms, producers, land users, remember to check stock often for open wounds and lethargic animals.  Report anything unusual and head to screwworm.gov for the latest confirmation maps, current status, treatment and U.S. readiness plans. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says the USDA is closely monitoring the New World screwworm situation and what it could mean for the current ban on live cattle imports from Mexico. Speaking at a press conference in Texas, Rollins was asked whether the U.S. could reopen the border to Mexican cattle imports now that New World screwworm has been detected in Texas. Rollins responded that the issue is "not lost on me" and that USDA will continue to watch the data very closely. The comments come after USDA confirmed several New World screwworm cases in Texas, including cases found in cattle, sheep, goats and a dog. Federal officials say surveillance, quarantines, treatment efforts, and sterile fly releases are being used to contain and eliminate the pest. The U.S. suspended imports of live cattle, horses, and bison from Mexico in May of 2025 because of the northward spread of New World screwworm in Mexico. Before the border closure, the United States imported about 1.25 million head of cattle from Mexico each year, most of them feeder cattle headed to U.S. feedlots. Some livestock industry groups have questioned whether the ban remains effective, noting that  screwworm can spread through wildlife, pets, and other animals—not just cattle. Producers and feedlot operators have also said the closure has tightened cattle supplies and increased costs. Rollins did not provide any timeline for reopening the border but said USDA will continue evaluating the situation. Meanwhile, USDA's eradication efforts include expanded trapping programs, movement controls, and the release of sterile flies from facilities in Texas, Mexico, and Panama.

Through the first four months of 2026, U.S. beef exports totaled just over 365,000 metric tons, down 11 percent from a year ago. Export value fell 7 percent to $3.13 billion, as tight cattle supplies and record-high global beef prices continue to impact trade. There is some positive news. Following a summit between President Trump and the Chinese President, China renewed export licenses for most U.S. beef plants in May. The U.S. beef industry had been largely shut out of China since March of 2025 during the early stages of the trade dispute. However, industry leaders say it remains unclear how quickly beef shipments to China will recover. Additional trade barriers still need to be resolved before exports can fully rebound. U.S. Meat Export Federation President Dan Halstrom says the renewed plant registrations are encouraging, but more obstacles must be addressed before U.S. beef regains its position in the Chinese market. Outside of China, demand for U.S. beef remains steady. Export volume to the rest of the world is roughly unchanged from a year ago, while export value is up 7 percent. Major buyers including South Korea, Japan, and Canada have purchased less U.S. beef this year. Mexico, however, continues to be a strong customer, with purchases holding steady and demand for variety meats increasing. Several markets are showing strong growth, including Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Dominican Republic, the Bahamas, Peru, Colombia, and Guatemala. Halstrom says global demand for U.S. beef remains resilient despite high prices and limited supplies. He notes challenges remain, including weak foreign currencies and higher energy costs that are affecting consumer spending in many countries.

This week on Talk Dirt To Me, we're joined in studio by Nick Patterson, President of the Tennessee Cattlemen's Association, and Dale Parker, Vice President of the Tennessee Cattlemen's Association, for a wide-ranging conversation about the future of Tennessee's cattle industry. We dive into Nick and Dale's backgrounds as cattle producers, how they became involved with the TCA, and their vision for strengthening the voice of Tennessee cattlemen across the state. From industry advocacy to producer education, we discuss what they hope to accomplish and why organizations like the Tennessee Cattlemen's Association matter now more than ever. We also tackle some of the biggest issues facing livestock producers today, including the growing concern over the New World Screwworm, Lone Star ticks, and Asian longhorned ticks. Nick and Dale share practical prevention strategies, what producers should be watching for, and how these threats could impact cattle operations across the region. The conversation doesn't stop there. We discuss the widening gap between farmers and consumers, why agricultural producers must do a better job telling their stories, and how misinformation can shape public perception of modern agriculture. We also address a question many cattlemen have asked: Is the Tennessee Cattlemen's Association beholden to the NCBA? We examine the relationship between the TCA and the National Cattlemen's Beef Association and discuss who the NCBA ultimately represents. To wrap things up, Nick and Dale answer listener-submitted questions covering a variety of topics affecting cattle producers and rural communities. Whether you're a cattle producer in Tennessee or beyond, farmer, rancher, agricultural advocate, or simply interested in where your food comes from, this is an episode packed with insight, honest discussion, and practical information you won't want to miss.

The June 18, 2026, Commodity Week panel analyzed current agricultural market fundamentals, prioritizing export demand, domestic crop conditions, and macroeconomic shifts. China recently purchased 4.8 million bushels of U.S. soybeans, yet long-term fulfillment of their 25-million-metric-ton commitment remains uncertain pending tariff adjustments and sustained export competition from Brazil. Domestically, the market is bracing for upcoming USDA acreage and grain stocks reports, with analysts anticipating slight increases in soybean acreage and noting discrepancies in feed and residual data driven by heavier cattle slaughter weights. The recent Cattle on Feed report indicated a 102% year-over-year inventory, though overall beef production projections remain inexplicably low according to the panel. Furthermore, U.S. corn crop conditions vary drastically based on planting dates, with early-planted corn thriving while late-planted fields struggle against excessive moisture. Finally, macroeconomic volatility is expected to persist as the new Federal Reserve leadership implements a strictly data-driven policy approach, strengthening the U.S. dollar and emphasizing the need for producers to actively execute pricing orders amidst shifting fundamentals.Panelists - Jim McCormick, AgMarket.net - Garrett Toay, AgTraderTalk.com - Mike Zuzolo, GlobalCommResearch.com ★ Support this podcast ★

Futures push higher; cash firms up; boxed beef higher on light volume; cash feeders lower; weekly cash summary; more NWS cases show up.

Strong boxed beef prices have given traders confidence in consumer demand for beef, leading to a strong rally through today's close. Lower crude oil prices have boosted equities, which has also helped to support cattle futures. Cash trade is expected to be higher for the week, but will likely wait until after Thursday's Cattle on Feed report. Ross Baldwin with John Stewart & Associates recaps today's trade.

*More sterile flies are coming to fight the screwworm.  *The nation's first bale of cotton has been harvested.  *The outlook for fall feeder cattle prices may be positive. *How are screwworms affecting Texas High Plains feedlots?*New cuts of beef and better value have reshaped the meat case.  *New legislation would add penalties for Mexico failing to comply with the 1944 water treaty.  *Recent rains have fallen on the Southern Plains of Texas.  *The old methods of treating parasites in horses do not work anymore.  

Brad discusses what he learned about high oleic soybeans at the Four State Dairy Management and Nutrition Conference in La Crosse, Wisconsin. High oleic soybeans are gaining attention in dairy nutrition because they can provide both rumen undegradable protein and a more rumen-friendly fat source, potentially reducing the need for purchased protein and fat supplements.The episode covers how high oleic beans differ from conventional soybeans, why roasting quality matters, and how measures like protein dispersibility index help determine whether beans are under- or over-processed. Brad also reviews feeding rates, farm case studies showing milk fat and energy-corrected milk responses, possible cost savings, and the pros and cons of adopting high oleic beans on dairy farms.Overall, high oleic soybeans are not a silver bullet, but they may offer dairy producers another tool for improving ration economics, milk components, and on-farm feed production when managed carefully.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory 

Cattle futures bounced higher Monday, buoyed by positive outside markets and falling Crude Oil futures, in response to the announced resolution to the U.S.-Iran war. Keep in mind that Juneteenth on Friday shortens the trading week and that the monthly Cattle on Feed report will be published Thursday. Toward the close, Live Cattle futures [...]

Futures and cash mixed for the week; boxed beef lower; cash feeders steady.

Negotiated cash fed cattle trade was mostly inactive on light demand in Kansas through Friday afternoon, according to the Agricultural Marketing Service. Elsewhere, trade was limited on moderate demand. Although too few transactions to trend in those regions, there were some FOB live trades at $256/cwt. in the Texas Panhandle, $255 in Nebraska and [...]

This morning, we're taking a look at screwworms — little flies that'll essentially eat an animal alive if untreated. When cases started spreading in Mexico in late 2024, the U.S. mostly banned the import of live animals. Now, Mexico is responding in kind, with the most visible impact being to the horse industry. Later in the show, “Marketplace Morning Report” host Kimberly Adams will unpack how, in Alabama, rural communities and healthcare systems are taking funding issues into their own hands.

What if EVERYTHING we know about reality is missing a deeper operating system?In this episode of Mayim Bialik's Breakdown, Dr. Brian Keating (professor of physics, experimental cosmologist, and host of the Into the Impossible podcast) dives into the biggest unanswered questions in science, consciousness, God, the Big Bang, extraterrestrial life, simulation theory, and the hidden limits of human knowledge.Dr. Keating breaks down:- Why humanity NEEDS a Grand Unified Theory before we can ever reach a true “Theory of Everything”, and how scientists are trying to uncover the operating system of reality itself- “A telescope is a time machine”: How looking into deep space is literally looking backward through time toward the origins of existence- Shocking scientific and philosophical implications of the Big Bang, and the terrifying question: What was BEFORE time?- Could another universe have collapsed to create ours?- Why studying space-time itself may unlock secrets hidden before the beginning of the universe- Why the Big Bang explains the expanding universe, and where modern cosmology still breaks down- How Dr. Keating reconciles being both a scientist & a person of faith- Can God & science coexist? How God may tie into the creation of the universe through a scientific lens- Why God's existence should not be subjected to scientific testing- Hidden limits of both religion AND scientific data- Where consciousness may actually come from according to modern physics- Why the role of scientists is not to “prove” things- Why even world-famous scientists secretly struggle with imposter syndrome- Deistic implications of the Simulation Hypothesis, and whether reality itself could be engineered- Search for extraterrestrial life: why we still have ZERO confirmed evidence despite viral claims- Debunking alleged “signs of life” on Mars and separating science from speculation- His take on the mysterious deaths and disappearances of U.S. scientists connected to nuclear & aerospace research- Could unexplained events be connected to UAPs, nonhuman intelligence, or classified technology?- Cattle mutilations, alleged energy weapons, and why unexplained phenomena always breed suspicion- Why uncertainty is one of the most dangerous (and fascinating) forces in human civilizationThis episode explores the edge where cosmology, philosophy, consciousness, religion, and the unknown collide.If you're fascinated by the Big Bang, aliens, simulation theory, UAPs, consciousness, physics, God, or the future of humanity, this conversation will completely change how you think about reality itself!Substack newsletter & transcript: https://briankeating.substack.com//mbbMayim's viewers only — win a real 4.3-billion-year-old meteorite: https://briankeating.com/mbbDr. Brian Keating's podcast, Into the Impossible: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJGKdZD30K_9rVCDAdRSwoJLi5ls6JN-qDr. Brian Keating's books: https://briankeating.com/books/Follow us on Substack for Exclusive Bonus Content: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bialikbreakdown.substack.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠BialikBreakdown.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube.com/mayimbialik⁠⁠⁠See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
