Podcasts about cattle industry convention

Clint Berry (Superior Livestock) joins us for our annual Cattle Market Outlook following the latest projections presented at Cattle Industry Convention by CattleFax. As we head into 2026, we evaluate where we are in the cattle cycle — have we truly stopped liquidation, or simply slowed it? We discuss heifer retention trends and projected prices across the board, including fed steers, 550-weight calves, cull cows, bred females, and the strengthening bull market. We also examine the impact of the Mexico border closure on supply and industry infrastructure, along with the strong consumer demand that continues to support beef prices despite historically tight cattle numbers. If you're a cow-calf producer, stocker operator, cattle feeder, or anyone involved in the beef industry, this episode provides perspective to help you think through risk, opportunity, and profitability heading into 2026. #WorkingRanchRadio #WorkingRanchMagazine #CattleMarket #CattleOutlook #CattlePrices #CattleCycle #FedCattle #FeederCattle #CullCows #BredCows #BullMarket #BeefDemand #CowCalf #RanchEconomics #AgPodcast
