The 2025 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show took place February 4th through 6th in sunny San Antonio, and by all accounts it was an event where ranchers came together to celebrate a good year in the beef industry, and to put their heads together about what might be ahead. DTN Senior Livestock Editor Jennifer Carrico attended the show, and joins us today with the latest updates from the meetings that ran the gamut from policy to trade to pest topics. Jenn will talk through what she heard from producers about the new administration's tariff policies, about adapting to the electronic ID tag rule, and about the weather situation across the country. Then, we'll dig into NCBA's topline policy priorities, including discussions on estate tax priorities, unfolding discussions about regulation, and the latest on the New World Screwworm fly outbreak that's raising concerns in Mexico. Finally, we'll hear the latest updates on technology, and where Jenn will be headed next.
