Australia has lifted restrictions on the import of beef from the United States in a decision critics say was made to appease U-S President Donald Trump. While the government says this was not the case, the removal of restrictions is raising concerns over health, biosecurity, and the impact on Australian cattle farmers. - Inalis na ng Australia ang mga limitasyon sa pag-aangkat ng karneng baka mula sa Estados Unidos. Nababahala ngayon ang ilan sa posibleng epekto nito sa kalusugan, biosecurity, at sa kabuhayan ng mga lokal na magsasaka sa Australia.
On this week's American Family Farmer, Doug Stephan takes on some of the week's biggest agricultural stories. He begins with Brooke Rollins' surprising success at the USDA despite her lack of ag experience, especially in supporting disaster-hit farmers.Doug also dives into new findings on the dangers of ultra-processed foods vs. traditional whole grains and whole milk.Corn season is underway — and so is destruction from the corn earworm, worsened by extreme weather.Plus, a lighthearted look at the “cow decor” craze, and a serious note on why only real milk from mammals should be called milk.Website: AmericanFamilyFarmerShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

And with more than 5 million cattle on feed and a 96% customer retention rate, producers are clearly seeing value.We also dig into Cattle Krush, a real-time market insights app that pulls data from the Chicago Board of Trade to help producers make informed buying and selling decisions. Tools like Auction Advisor, My Lots, and Profit Alerts show exactly where a producer stands—down to the head—on profitability and breakevens.The team shares how they identified this massive need in the industry, how user-friendly the platforms really are, and where they see the cattle industry heading as technology and data play a growing role in profitability.

Beef Cattle News Beef Market Uncertainty Fueled By Tight Supplies & High Prices According to Texas A&M Agricultural Economist David Anderson, the beef sector is entering a prolonged period of tight supplies and sustained high prices, and any meaningful herd expansion remains elusive. Anderson said that calf prices have reached record levels, with 500- to 600-pound steers in the Southern Plains averaging $4 per pound, but instead of retaining heifers to grow the herd, producers are largely “taking the money and running.” The shift toward expansion, when it happens, could lead to a temporary sharp decline in beef production, as fewer heifers are sent to feedlots. Anderson pointed to the upcoming Cattle on Feed report, which will include a quarterly update on heifers versus steers on feed, as a key signal. Another headwind for beef production is the ongoing closure of the U.S.-Mexico border to imported feeder cattle due to screw worm concerns. Anderson said the loss of 26,000 head per week is equivalent to 4% of the U.S. calf crop and about 18% of feeder placements in the Southwest, with significant regional impacts. The effects of that shortfall are already being seen, Anderson said, as steer and heifer slaughter continue to fall below year-ago levels. While heavier carcass weights have helped offset declining numbers in recent years, Anderson expects weights to dip below 2024 levels due to shorter feeding periods and fewer days on feed. Anderson said that dynamic of fewer cattle and lower weights will continue to tighten beef supplies and support high prices. Prices for 50% lean trimmings have reached record highs amid strong demand for ground beef. While retail prices typically dip after summer highs, Anderson said overall price levels will remain elevated. He forecast quarterly declines in beef production through 2026, citing fewer calves, a smaller cow herd and the absence of imported feeders. Even if herd expansion begins now, Anderson said, the biology of the cattle cycle means any supply increases are years away. “We're already talking four years out before you even see increases in beef production,” he said.

Corn posted modest gains on Wednesday, supported by fresh export sales and limited farmer selling. But soybeans faded once again on weak demand and continued meal pressure. Kansas City wheat showed relative strength, while global weather stories—from 100-degree heat in Ukraine to strong spring wheat yields—added complexity to the trade. In the livestock markets, feeder cattle saw sharp losses and live cattle also pulled back, as traders position ahead of Friday's Cattle Inventory and Cattle on Feed reports. Lean hogs held steady, with some attention turning to reports of production losses in China and a shift in feed usage. Mike Zuzolo of Global Commodity Analytics joins the Channel Final Bell to break down:

A farm in Dannevirke was targeted by cattle rustlers and 65 hand reared calves were stolen. Federated Farmers Dairy Industry Group chairperson Karl Dean spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
Cattle futures gapped higher Wednesday, supported by outside markets and perhaps some early positioning ahead of the monthly Cattle on Feed and semiannual Cattle inventory reports due out Friday. Toward the close, Live cattle futures were an average of $2.25 higher. Feeder Cattle futures were an average of $4.39 higher. Negotiated cash fed cattle [...]
This episode was recorded at the 2025 Western Dairy Management Conference in Reno, Nevada.Dr. Kononoff begins with some renewable fuels history. Since the renewable fuels standard in 2007, corn production for ethanol has increased to around 50% of the crop going to ethanol production. With the subsequent increase in fuel has come an increase in distillers grains and the industry has learned how to use them to feed cattle better. Later, the government created additional policy for next-stage renewable fuels, which has spurred biodiesel production. Currently, just under 50% of the soybean crop goes to fuel production. Soybean meal availability has increased and costs have decreased over the past few years. Most of the soybean oil is solvent-extracted. (5:57)Dr. Lock talks about increased acres of high-oleic soybeans in dairy-soybean crossover states. He summarizes some of the work his group has done on feeding high-oleic roasted whole soybeans as a replacement for soybean meal in the diet, citing the benefits of the oil in the diet as well as increased bypass protein. (15:41)The panel discusses whether canola meal, which is fairly high in oleic acid, would show similar benefits to feeding whole roasted soybeans. They also talk about how tariffs may or may not impact canola meal and canola oil prices. (24:26)Over time, the dairy industry has moved away from alfalfa as a protein source and toward soybean meal. The panel discusses the pros and cons of this change. (26:46)Dr. Kononoff gives his perspective on just how much soybean meal can be fed in dairy cow diets. Nitrogen excretion is an important consideration. He reminds the audience that renewable fuels policy is the reason behind many of the feed ingredient changes we've observed in the past 15-20 years, and that policy can change very rapidly. He emphasizes the industry needs to remain nimble and prepared to adapt. The panel also touches on pricing of feed ingredients in different parts of the country and how distillers grains are currently used in dairy diets. (31:08)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.
