Beef Industry News Tyson Announced The Closing Of Beef Plant In Nebraska The beef business has been a buzz this past week when Tyson, one of the Nation's largest meat packing companies, announced plans to close a large beef plant in Lexington, Nebraska.   The news of the possible closing comes just weeks after President Donald Trump claimed the four largest companies are driving up the prices on purpose, to keep meat prices high for the consumer. On November 7, Trump took to social media to call for a DOJ investigation into the price fixing claims by saying “I have asked the DOJ to immediately begin an investigation into the Meat Packing Companies who are driving up the price of Beef through Illicit Collusion, Price Fixing, and Price Manipulation. We will always protect our American Ranchers, and they are being blamed for what is being done by Majority Foreign Owned Meat Packers, who artificially inflate prices, and jeopardize the security of our Nation's food supply.” Back in October, Tyson and Cargill agreed to pay more than $87.5 million to settle a federal lawsuit for "inflating" beef prices by limiting the supply to the public. Trump's most recent claims earlier in November call out the foreign owned meat packers, as well as the American-owned ones, like Tyson. The White House website also posted about how much influence the top four meat companies have over the price of beef saying "The “Big Four” meat packers — JBS (Brazil), Cargill, Tyson Foods, and National Beef — currently dominate 85% of the U.S. beef processing market, up from just 36% in 1980. Two of these companies, including the largest meat packer in the world, are either foreign-owned or have significant foreign ownership and control." References: https://thenationaldesk.com/news/nation-world/report-tyson-to-close-large-meat-plant-just-weeks-after-trumps-collusion-claims Price Fixing In The Beef Industry According to agricultural economists and the National News Desk, beef prices at the grocery store aren't expected to budge, even after Tyson Foods announced it will close one beef plant and scale back another. Texas A&M economist David Anderson says government investigations into meat-packer collusion are also unlikely to lower prices. He notes that cattle prices are at record highs, and even the big processors are losing money. “If they had real market power, they wouldn't be losing money,” Anderson says. Right now, ground beef averages $6.33 a pound, up more than 11% from last year. The core issue, Anderson says, is tight cattle supply—the smallest U.S. beef-cow herd since the early 1960s. Anderson explains that every beef-packing plant, not just Tyson, is operating in the red because live cattle prices are rising faster than wholesale beef prices—a normal pattern when herds are low. When cattle are plentiful, the roles reverse: ranchers lose money and packers profit. Despite concerns about the dominance of a few large meatpackers, Anderson says there's little evidence they can artificially inflate grocery store prices. “To push prices higher, you have to control supply,” he says. “And packers don't own the cattle or the feedlots.” So what is driving today's high beef prices? A shrinking cattle herd, shaped by years of drought, rising costs, and previously low prices. And rebuilding that herd takes time. A calf born last spring won't have its first calf until 2027, and that next generation won't reach market weight until late 2029. “It's hard to beat biology,” Anderson says. “We can't speed that up.” Until then, experts say beef prices at the grocery store will likely stay high—no matter what happens in the packing plants.

As of November 24, the EDCC has confirmed 29 EHV-1 cases associated with the event. The cases are located in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Colorado, New Mexico, Washington, Arizona, and South Dakota. Herpesvirus is highly contagious among horses and can cause a variety of ailments. In many horses, the first or only sign of EHV-1 infection is fever, which can go undetected. In addition to fever, other common signs of EHV-1 infection in young horses include cough, decreased appetite, depression, and a nasal discharge. Pregnant mares typically show no signs of infection before they abort, and abortions usually occur late in gestation (around eight months) but can be earlier. Abortions can occur anywhere from two weeks to several months following infection with EHV-1. Herpesvirus is easily spread by nose-to-nose or close contact with an infectious horse; sharing contaminated equipment including bits, buckets, and towels; or clothing, hands, or equipment of people who have recently had contact with an infectious horse. Routine biosecurity measures, including hygiene and basic cleaning and disinfection practices, should be in place at all times to help prevent disease spread. Already, some equine events have been cancelled or postponed due to EHV-1, while others have been put on high alert, including the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo.  If your horses show any  concerning signs or abnormalities, especially a fever or neurological symptoms, contact your veterinarian immediately.

Thomas, 62, of Onida, South Dakota, passed away on August 19, 2025. Born December 13, 1962, in Brookings, S.D., Troy was raised in a ranching family and developed a lifelong passion for cattle. He attended South Dakota State University before returning to his family's fourth-generation Thomas Ranch, where he devoted his life to raising registered Angus, Simmental, Red Angus, and Charolais cattle. Throughout his career, Troy amassed significant acclaim in the Western and cattle show world. He won three American Royal titles, was named Charolais Herdsman of the Year, and judged major cattle shows across North America, including in Mexico and Canada. Troy married VeaBea Bourk in 1985. They shared two daughters, Taylor and Cally; sadly, Taylor predeceased him. He is survived by his wife VeaBea, daughter Cally (and her husband Clint Kindred), grandchildren Tee and Tyler, his parents Harry and Kay Thomas, his sister Tracy, and a large extended family.

Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. Season 5, EPISODE 263 Common Ground Coalition Seeks To Preserve America's Food Security By Uniting Livestock Producers   Agriculture is not optional. America's food chain is only as strong as our family farms and ranches. Our livestock industry is better together and must unify with one voice. As dedicated stakeholders in the livestock industry, we call upon our fellow livestock producers and all of agriculture to join us and stand united. The time has come to prove that our industry can and will align to drive meaningful and lasting change, safeguarding the future of America's agricultural sector, rural communities and our nation's food independence. We need your help in giving America's livestock industry a common voice. The 5 Key Components Of The Common Ground Coalition 1. Achieve and Maintain Ag-Friendly Tax Policy Extend the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions that help agriculture beyond 2025, including: Preservation of federal transfer tax lifetime exemption amounts, indexed for inflation, and Retention of step-up in basis under § 1014, and Return to 100% bonus depreciation under § 168, and Continued expanded application of § 179, and Maintenance of the § 199A qualified business income deduction. Increase the aggregate limit allowed under § 2032A to $30 million, indexed for inflation. 2. Make Risk Management Tools More Effective Increase the Livestock Risk Protection subsidy level, and Allow Livestock Risk Protection coverage to start the day price risk is assumed, and Create or improve mechanisms for industry input and oversight of risk management tools that will make them more attractive to producers. 3. Improve Access To Labor Remove the seasonality component from H-2 programs, and Create an optimized and efficient process for workers in good standing to return to the same employer year after year, and Redefine “agricultural employer” to expand its scope for purposes of H-2A programs to include more employers essential to agricultural production in the United States. 4. Increase Flexibility For Livestock Haulers Exempt livestock haulers from Hours-of-Service rules, and Permanently exempt livestock haulers from the Electronic Logging Device mandate, and Support the state and federal adoption of increased load capacity limits. 5. Create Support For Young & Emerging Livestock Producers Reform USDA programs to raise limits on guaranteed loan programs, streamline the lending process, and expand eligibility criteria. Create tax credits or incentives for leasing or selling land to, and providing capital to, younger or emerging livestock producers, including elimination of capital gains, reduced financing costs, and access to loans. Create front-loaded tax relief for buyers purchasing land for use in livestock production. Establish programs and educational programming to cultivate interest in young people to pursue careers in livestock production. Incentivize livestock producers and others, including those in academia, business, and government, to mentor young or emerging livestock producers and support new entrants into the industry. Develop technologies targeted at increasing efficiency in livestock production.

Season 5, EPISODE 260 Cattle & Producer Groups React To Potential Imports of Argentine Beef   Last Sunday President Donald Trump said the United States could purchase Argentinian beef in an attempt to bring down prices for American consumers.  This sparked immediate reaction from our cattle associations and organizations. Reference: https://apnews.com/article/beef-argentina-us-consumers-prices-f7fadbe1b3fef4646f9c3623f901209a National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) Reaction To Argentine Beef NCBA's family farmers and ranchers have numerous concerns with importing more Argentinian beef to lower prices for consumers. This plan only creates chaos at a critical time of the year for American cattle producers, while doing nothing to lower grocery store prices," said NCBA CEO Colin Woodall. "Additionally, Argentina has a deeply unbalanced trade relationship with the U.S. In the past five years Argentina has sold more than $801 million of beef into the U.S. market. By comparison, the U.S. has sold just over $7 million worth of American beef to Argentina. Argentina also has a history of foot-and-mouth disease, which if brought to the United States, could decimate our domestic livestock production. REFERENCE: https://www.nationalbeefwire.com/ncba-argentinian-beef-import-plan-harms-u-s-cattle-producers United States Cattlemen's Association (USCA) Reaction To Argentine Beef The current price of beef on grocery store shelves reflects the true, inflation-adjusted cost of raising cattle in America today.  Already this year, the U.S. has imported more than 1.26 million metric tons of beef, primarily from Australia, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, and New Zealand. Increasing imports under current rules ultimately benefits foreign suppliers and multinational packers, while putting U.S. ranchers on the losing end and depriving American consumers of honest transparency at the meat counter. REFERENCE: https://www.nationalbeefwire.com/usca-comments-on-president-trump-s-remarks-regarding-beef-prices-and-proposed-imports-from-argentina R-Calf USA Reaction To Argentine Beef Global packers are importing beef from about 20 different countries, including Argentina, and because we do not have a mandatory country-of-origin labeling law for beef, the global packers do not need to reduce the price of imported product compared to domestic product. This negates any theoretical benefit of using more imports to drive down domestic beef prices. We urge the president to manage imports, restore mandatory country-of-origin labeling for beef, and put an end to the monopolistic control that packers and retailers have over our beef supply chain. Doing so will incentivize America's ranchers to rebuild and expand the U.S. herd to meet our national security needs and ensure that consumer beef prices are determined by competitive market forces. REFERENCE: https://www.nationalbeefwire.com/statement-on-plan-to-increase-argentine-beef-imports Fall Bull Nutrition From Westway Feed Products Nutritional balance is a cornerstone of herd health and productivity. According to Dr. Kelly Sanders of Westway Feed Products, deficiencies often go unnoticed until performance suffers. Signs Of Nutritional Deficiencies In Cattle Poor Body Condition: Thin cows, visible ribs, or weak muscling. Reduced Fertility: Open cows, delayed cycling, or poor conception rates. Coat and Hoof Issues: Rough hair coats, brittle hooves, or slow shedding. Growth Challenges in Calves: Reduced weight gains or uneven growth patterns. How To Correct Deficiencies Forage Testing: Identify nutrient gaps in hay and pasture. Targeted Supplementation: Provide liquid or block supplements to balance protein, energy, and minerals. Management Adjustments: Ensure adequate feed availability during high-demand stages such as lactation and breeding. Dr. Sanders emphasizes that proactive nutrition not only boosts herd performance but also maximizes returns on investment in genetics.

Recognizing and Addressing Cowherd Nutritional Deficiences Nutritional balance is a cornerstone of herd health and productivity. According to Dr. Kelly Sanders of Westway Feed Products, deficiencies often go unnoticed until performance suffers. Signs Of Nutritional Deficiencies In Cattle Poor Body Condition: Thin cows, visible ribs, or weak muscling. Reduced Fertility: Open cows, delayed cycling, or poor conception rates. Coat and Hoof Issues: Rough hair coats, brittle hooves, or slow shedding. Growth Challenges in Calves: Reduced weight gains or uneven growth patterns. How To Correct Deficiencies Forage Testing: Identify nutrient gaps in hay and pasture. Targeted Supplementation: Provide liquid or block supplements to balance protein, energy, and minerals. Management Adjustments: Ensure adequate feed availability during high-demand stages such as lactation and breeding. Dr. Sanders emphasizes that proactive nutrition not only boosts herd performance but also maximizes returns on investment in genetics. Planning For Feeder Cattle Marketing In 2026 Looking ahead, market planning is critical for cattlemen aiming to maximize returns on their calf crop. Kurt Donsbach of StoneX Financial shares insights on what producers should prepare for in 2026. Key Marketing Considerations Market Volatility: Expect fluctuations tied to feed costs, beef demand, and global trade. Uniformity Matters: Buyers continue to pay premiums for uniform, weaned, and preconditioned cattle. Leverage Genetics: Aligning bull selection with market goals increases calf value. Forward Contracts & Risk Management: Explore tools like futures, options, and video sales to lock in profitability. Action Steps For Producers Evaluate herd performance and set marketing goals early.

Ep 228 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara dig into mangoes as currency, Western fashion controversy, and the differences between American and European food systems. First up: Florida's mango madness season where locals are trading mangoes for bread, ice cream, and cocktails. With mango trees producing up to 1,000 mangoes each, South Florida restaurants are capitalizing on backyard abundance by accepting fruit as payment. But are five mangoes really worth just one small ice cream? Next, Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid's Wyoming Western Vogue shoot is breaking the internet - but not for the reasons you'd think. While the hosts loved the prairie dress looks and truck shots, the comment section is brutal. Is this editorial genius or has Vogue completely missed the mark? Then, meet the Painter Land Sisters - fourth-generation Pennsylvania dairy farmers who saved their family farm by pivoting to premium Icelandic-style yogurt. With their feminine branding and direct-to-consumer approach, they just closed a seven-figure seed round and are now in Whole Foods nationwide. And finally, the age-old debate: why Americans refrigerate eggs while Europeans leave them on the counter. The answer involves mandatory chicken vaccines, washing protocols, and two completely different food safety philosophies. Plus, In-N-Out's secret Bible verses on packaging. BUT WAIT --- there's more!

Season 5, EPISODE 254 Source & Age Verification Program For Feeder Cattle Sired By Gelbvieh & Balancer Bulls What Is the Balancer® Edge Program? The Balancer® Edge program, developed by the American Gelbvieh Association (AGA), is designed to add value for cattle producers by verifying Gelbvieh and Balancer genetics in their herds. To qualify, at least 75% of sires must be registered Gelbvieh or Balancer bulls, with each bull carrying a minimum of 25% Gelbvieh genetics. Verification Requirements for Producers Participation in Balancer® Edge requires simple but essential documentation, including: First and last calf born dates Headcount support Registration papers of sires to confirm Gelbvieh genetics This verification process ensures genetic accuracy and builds buyer confidence in Gelbvieh and Balancer-influenced cattle. Market Value Through Source & Age Verification (SAV) Since its launch in 2004, Source and Age Verification (SAV) has been a proven tool for U.S. beef producers. Balancer® Edge automatically qualifies cattle for SAV, opening doors to value-added marketing programs such as: China Export Verification Program Non-Hormone Treated Cattle (NHTC) Program for the EU Verified Natural Beef GAP 5-Step Animal Welfare and others Additionally, Balancer® Edge documentation can: Establish cattle age at the processor Serve as proof of maturity for grading purposes Ensure cattle qualify as A maturity if under 30 months of age at harvest Third-Party Verification With IMI Global The AGA has partnered with IMI Global, an accredited, independent verification company. IMI Global evaluates livestock attributes, production practices, and compliance to ensure unbiased and trustworthy certification for Balancer® Edge participants. Cost & Tag Options for Producers Enrollment in Balancer® Edge is affordable and straightforward: $3.00 per head (includes tags + application processing) Producers may select from 982 or 840 EID tags (840 EID tags require a premise ID) Combo sets (visual tag + EID) available for an additional $1.25/head Standard turnaround time: approx. 2 weeks from order date Rush orders available for an extra fee Why Choose Balancer® Edge? By participating in the Balancer® Edge program, producers gain: Verified Gelbvieh and Balancer genetics Access to global and domestic value-added beef markets Documentation for age, source, and maturity verification Affordable verification backed by trusted third-party certification Find out more from the American Gelbvieh Association, and marketing programs by clicking HERE. Cattle Industry News Cattlemen's Beef Board Approves $38 Million Budget The Cattlemen's Beef Board (CBB) will invest approximately $38.1 million into programs of beef promotion, research, consumer information, industry information, foreign marketing, and producer communications during fiscal 2026, subject to USDA approval. In action at the end of its September 3-4 meeting in Denver, Colorado, the Beef Promotion Operating Committee (BPOC) approved Checkoff funding for a total of 14 "Authorization Requests" - or grant proposals - for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2025. The committee, which includes 10 producers and importers from the Cattlemen's Beef Board and 10 producers from the Federation of State Beef Councils, also recommended full Cattlemen's Beef Board approval of a budget amendment to reflect the split of funding between budget categories affected by their decisions. REFERENCES: https://www.nationalbeefwire.com/cattlemen-s-beef-board-approves-38-million-budget-lists-priorities-it-will-invest USDA OK's New Tech For Beef Grading USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is moving forward with the use of three new vision grading instruments to support the agency's beef grading program. AMS approved the use of new technologies that produce marbling scores for Prime, Choice and Select grades for beef, according to a statement announcing the tech updates. The three new vision grading instruments also will assist in the application of Yield Grades and measuring of the ribeye area that often is used in scores of Certified Beef Programs. These certifications are issued by a range of organizations and companies, including Certified Angus Beef, National Beef Certified Premium, Tyson's Chairman's Reserve Certified Premium Beef and Nolan Ryan's Tender Aged Beef, for example. The technology allows for consistent, uniform application of USDA beef grades, which drive payments for producers, help value determinations for packers and communicate quality to U.S. consumers.

REFERENCES: https://meatingplace.com/usda-oks-new-tech-for-beef-grading-procedures-programs/ Global Cattle Prices Continue To Rise While Exports To China Dwindle  Global export volumes of U.S. beef to China were down 19% in July compared to a year earlier and are down 8% through the first seven months of 2025, as the mainland China market withers in the trade war. China was the fourth largest destination for U.S. beef last year but President Donald Trump's tariffs on China starting in February soured trade relations. In March, China revoked export licenses for U.S. producers, leaving the beef industry with only a few eligible exporters. Compared to the first seven months of 2024, exports to China are down 46% and down 47% by value at $481 million. Among the top six destinations for U.S. beef, only South Korea booked a volume increase through July — up 9% by both volume and value. All the others, including Japan, Mexico, Canada and Taiwan, are off so far this year. However, according to a recent Rabo Research Report, global cattle prices continue to rise as global volumes are contracting.  Although, for example, beef imports from Brazil into the U.S. rose 25% compared to last year in the first half of 2025, higher tariffs will have a material impact on the trade between Brazil and the US, analysts assured. In Europe, the tight market is also attracting higher imports. The latest round of U.S. tariffs included an additional 40% on the already existing 10% global rate and 26.4% non-quota duty on Brazilian beef imports. Brazil supplied a record volume of beef into the U.S. in the first half of 2025, and RaboResearch believes this additional tariff will have a material impact on the trade between Brazil and the U.S. Nearly a month after the U.S. began applying further import tariffs on Brazilian beef, shipments remain strong in a year-over-year comparison, and shipments to the U.S. have remained relatively stable even after the tariffs have taken effect.

Season 5, EPISODE 253 Blue Roan Quarter Horses For Sale: Superior Bloodlines, Disposition, and Conformation For over 77 years, the Froelich Legacy Quarter Horse program has been dedicated to raising Quarter Horses with the kind of conformation, color, and disposition that make them stand out in any setting. From ranch work to the show pen, our horses are bred to perform with steady minds, strong builds, and eye-catching color. Breeding Legacy: Blue Roans Before They Were Cool Our roan program began with the AQHA stallion McKeag, whose influence established us as respected breeders of rare and beautiful Blue Roans. McKeag's legacy continues through his son FQHR McLovin, who has proven to pass on an even stronger disposition than his sire. Customers often remark that McLovin foals are “born broke” with a natural work ethic—colts and fillies that simply need to be taught the buttons.  Our Current Stallions FQHR McLovin – A direct McKeag son carrying forward his sire's stamp with even more disposition and trainability. His foals are known for their honest minds and ability to go straight to work. Siring horses that have excelled in versatility and having sired a 6-time world champion in roping.  FQHR Conagher – A younger stallion quickly making his mark. His foals show outstanding conformation, muscle definition, and personable, loving natures that make them a joy to raise. LHR Smart Sugar Boon – A powerful performance cross on foundation blood. His pedigree ties back to legends like Peptoboonsmal and Smart Little Lena, bringing athleticism and cow sense while maintaining the kind of mind we demand in our program. Our focus today is on producing horses with balanced conformation, proven genetics, and minds that fit any rider. Whether for ranch work, arena competition, or simply a trusted partner to ride, Froelich Legacy Quarter Horses are bred to handle the job and look good doing it. Annual Quarter Horse Production Sale: 3rd Saturday of September The Froelich Legacy Quarter Horses program proudly offers Blue Roan Quarter Horses for sale each year during the annual production sale, traditionally held on the third Saturday in September. These horses are more than just beautiful—they bring together the ideal combination of athletic ability, trainability, and color that discerning buyers want. The breeding philosophy is simple: breed Quarter Horses we love to ride—selecting bloodlines from the greats to produce horses with the perfect balance of cow sense, athletic ability, and a steady temperament. Whether pulling calves to the branding iron, roping in the arena, or enjoying a relaxed evening trail ride, these colorful Quarter Horses continually prove their versatility. Contact Froelich Legacy Quarter Horses For more information about the Froelich Legacy Quarter Horses program and to learn how disposition, color, and conformation are top priority, CONTACT US TODAY or visit our website HERE! Cattle Industry News Livestock Market Report & Outlook From Dr. Andrew Griffith The latest livestock comments from Livestock Marketing Specialist Dr. Andrew Griffith who said prices were strong for every class of animal offered on the market, which tends to bring optimism to all involved.  This optimism leads to thoughts of expanding herd sizes to capitalize on the strong market.   He continued by saying fed cattle traded unevenly steady last week.  To put this market into perspective he asked the question, how many finished cattle does it take to purchase a new pickup truck? Assuming a 1,400-pound steer and an $80,000 pickup truck, it would take 23 head to have equal value. Using similar elementary math, it would have taken 27 head to purchase a similar yet slightly lower-priced truck in 2024, and it would have taken 25 to 26 head to purchase a similar pickup truck in 2021. This comparison means absolutely nothing other than the value of a finished steer has increased more than a pickup truck in relative terms. However, it is a rather small increase, relatively speaking. He wrapped up by saying how these relative prices change over time is not all that important. What is important is if cattle feeders are making money or not. REFERENCES: https://www.nationalbeefwire.com/1971-livestock-comments-dr-andrew-griffith 2025 Cow Prices Forecast To Hit Record Highs Annual cow prices are projected to reach a new all-time high of $143/cwt in 2025, up $14 from 2024 and a sharp $41 increase from 2023. Monthly cow prices in 2025 have climbed steadily, rising from $126 in January to a record $157/cwt in July, highlighting a strong and consistent upward trend throughout the year. For perspective, prices were just $62 in 2019, meaning values have surged $81/cwt over six years or a 131% increase. Looking further back, cow prices were $43 in 2003, rising steadily over the next decade to peak at $107 in 2014 and $103 in 2015. That historic run was followed by a multi-year downturn before the current rally pushed prices to unprecedented levels.  REFERENCES: https://www.nationalbeefwire.com/u-s-cattle-report New World Screwworm Soaring In Mexico Mexico's official count shows that New World screwworm is continuing to spread rapidly in the country, keeping the U.S. border closed to cattle imports and redirecting production to the Mexican packing industry. According to Mexican government data viewed earlier and cited by the Reuters news agency, Authorities had a tally of 5,086 cases through August 17, 53% more than July's total. The infestations were mostly afflicting cattle, though cases were also reported in sheep, horses and dogs. USDA last month reinstated a ban on Mexican livestock imports — the third halt since late 2024 to imports of cattle to U.S. feedlots and packers. The agency announced a $750-million sterile fly production facility in Texas to combat the flesh-eating parasite, which had been eradicated in North America for decades before a rapid march northward starting two years ago in Panama. In Texas alone, USDA estimates a screwworm outbreak could cost the state $1.8 billion in livestock deaths and other costs.

Cattle Industry News Govt. confirms first US human case of New World Screwworm The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the CDC confirmed the first human case in the U.S. of New World screwworm. According to a Reuters report, the individual is a Maryland resident, and they contracted screwworm during a trip to El Salvador. The CDC confirmed the diagnosis on Aug. 4, as did the Maryland Department of Health.  In a statement to Reuters, HHS Spokesman Andrew G. Nixon said "The Risk to public health in the U.S. from this introduction is very low." In recent months, the U.S. government has taken considerable steps in protecting livestock from screwworm. Mid-July, USDA restarted its ban on Mexican livestock imports, and just last week, the agency announced a $750-million sterile fly production facility in Texas to combat the flesh-eating parasite's spread. In Texas alone, USDA estimates a screwworm outbreak could cost the state $1.8 billion in livestock deaths and other costs. Screwworms are parasitic flies whose females lay eggs in wounds on any warm-blooded animal. Once the eggs hatch, hundreds of screwworm larvae use their sharp mouths to burrow through living flesh, eventually killing their host if left untreated. Livestock traders and beef producers have been on edge about the potential for cases in cattle as prices have already hit record highs because the U.S. cattle herd is at its smallest size in seven decades.

It's The Ranch It Up Radio Show! Join Jeff Tigger Erhardt, Rebecca Wanner AKA BEC and their crew as they go through the Angus Access program for marketing those red angus feeder calves.  Plus reports from the Video Royale Sale from Superior Livestock Auction on 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. Season 5, EPISODE 249 Red Angus Association Rebrands Feeder Calf Certification Program As Angus Access The Red Angus Association of America (RAAA) has officially rebranded its longstanding Feeder Calf Certification Program (FCCP) to Angus Access. This change reflects more than just a name update — it marks a strategic evolution in how Red Angus cattle are marketed, verified, and positioned within the beef industry. What Is Angus Access Angus Access is the beef industry's first genetic, age, and source verification program, now modernized for today's traceability and quality assurance demands. USDA-approved and trusted by Red Angus producers for over 30 years, the program now better aligns with both consumer expectations and industry trends like case-ready beef and private label branding. Why Red Angus? Premium Quality, Recognized Value Red Angus cattle consistently produce premium Angus beef, a product category in high demand with consumers seeking quality and consistency. The new name, Angus Access, emphasizes the breed's place within Angus-branded beef programs, helping Red Angus producers gain the recognition — and market share — they deserve. A Legacy Of Verification & Market Access Originally launched in 1995, the Feeder Calf Certification Program was developed to help Red Angus calves compete with black-hided counterparts and gain access to value-based marketing opportunities. Through USDA-backed verification and the program's iconic yellow tags, Red Angus calves earned industry-wide recognition for: Feedlot performance Carcass consistency High-quality beef production Today, over 3.5 million calves have been enrolled in FCCP and its crossbred counterpart, Allied Access. Both programs have helped commercial producers nationwide capture added value through verified genetics and transparent sourcing. Transition To 840 Tags By 2026 RAAA is ensuring a smooth transition for current users. While existing FCCP tags remain valid through July 1, 2027, starting January 1, 2026, only 840 EID (Electronic Identification) tags will be issued for both Angus Access and Allied Access programs. Benefits of 840 EID tags include: Improved traceability Automated data collection Reduced tag loss Enhanced animal-level tracking (e.g., birthweight, health protocols, genetics) Better compliance with domestic and export regulations Optional visual tags with the Angus Access and Allied Access logos will still be available for producers who value visual ID. EID Technology Supports The Future Of Beef Production As vertically integrated supply chains become the norm, EID-based verification systems are now expected by many beef processors, including sustainability-driven companies like Sustainable Beef. Research shows that beef products linked to transparent, verified production practices increase consumer trust by over 80%, driving repeat purchases and stronger brand loyalty. Angus Access:  Driving The Future Of Verified Red Angus Beef The Angus Access rebrand is more than a marketing change — it's a powerful statement of RAAA's commitment to innovation, data integrity, and producer success. As consumer preferences and retailer demands evolve, Angus Access ensures that Red Angus genetics and the cattlemen behind them are ready to lead the way in transparent, value-driven beef production.

Week In The Rockies Superior Livestock Auction Sale Report A tremendous cattle market for the Week In The Rockies Sale by Superior Livestock Auction.  Few complete Sale Reports HERE. 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.

Top Reasons To Use Drones For Spraying Pastures & Weeds  Agri Drones can seed and spray chemicals when fields are not ready for equipment and it is more precise than other aerial seeding options. Plus a drone can avoid obstacles and pinpoint certain areas.  You can find out more about who we used to control our noxious weeds by clicking Pro Ag Solutions. 1. Precision Application Targeted spraying of individual weed patches instead of blanket applications Reduces herbicide waste and chemical drift GPS-guided flight paths ensure consistent coverage and record-keeping 2. Access Hard-to-Reach Areas Drones can easily reach: Steep terrain Wet ground or boggy spots Brushy fence lines and ravines Eliminates the need to risk equipment damage or operator safety in difficult terrain 3. Reduced Soil Compaction No heavy tractor tires driving over sensitive ground Helps preserve soil structure and forage health 4. Time & Labor Savings Faster setup and application time compared to manual or vehicle-based sprayers Reduces labor requirements — one operator can manage several acres per hour Perfect for small patches or spot treatments that aren't worth dragging out a boom sprayer 5. Ideal for Sensitive Areas Less impact on: Native grasses Wildlife habitat Waterways (when used with precision nozzles and appropriate buffers) 6. Data Collection & Monitoring Many drones are equipped to map weed infestations before spraying Enables before-and-after analysis, recordkeeping, and adaptive management 7. Cost-Effective for Small & Mid-Sized Pastures Great return on investment for: Pastures under 200 acres Rotational grazing systems Landowners or ranchers who want more control over timing and application Cattle News Cattlemen's Groups React to “The One, Big, Beautiful Bill” The U.S. Cattlemen's Association (USCA) and the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) commented on the successful passage of "The One, Big, Beautiful Bill", which includes several provisions critical to the U.S. livestock industry and wins for America's family farmers and ranchers. A few of the highlights include: Livestock Indemnity Program  Establishes a payment rate for losses due to predation at 100% of the market value and losses due to adverse weather or disease at 75% of the market value.  Introduces additional payments for unborn livestock death losses incurred on or after January 1, 2024, at a rate determined by the Secretary, not exceeding 85% of the payment rate for the lowest weight class of livestock.  Livestock Forage Disaster Program  Allows for two monthly payments and specifying eligibility criteria based on grazing periods and expands the program by allowing it to kick in after 4 consecutive weeks of drought, rather than the previous 8 consecutive weeks Emergency Assistance  Provides emergency assistance for cattle with specific payment rates and eligibility criteria.  Death Tax  The bill increases the Death Tax exemption to $15 million per individual or $30 million per couple, adjusted annually for inflation. This means if the value of your farm or ranch plus equipment, cattle, and other assets are less than $15 million individually or $30 million as a couple Foreign Animal Disease Prevention  Specifies funding allocations for foreign animal disease prevention programs.  REFERENCES:  https://www.nationalbeefwire.com/usca-comments-on-legislative-passage-of-the-one-big-beautiful-bill https://www.nationalbeefwire.com/national-cattlemen-s-beef-association-comments-on-the-one-big-beautiful-bill https://www.nationalbeefwire.com/congress-passes-megabill-with-significant-farm-program-funding U.S Beef & Pork Exports To China Drop Sharply As Tariffs Climb Skyrocketing Tariffs Crush U.S. Meat Trade with China U.S. beef and pork exports to China plunged in late April and early May, driven by steep tariffs reaching 147% on beef and 172% on pork, according to the USDA Economic Research Service. A temporary 90-day tariff cut — down to 32% for beef and 57% for pork — failed to revive U.S. meat shipments to levels seen in May 2024. Trade Challenges Mount Ahead of August Deadline Compounding the issue, China declined to renew registrations for multiple U.S. beef plants and cold storage facilities in February, further restricting exports, says the U.S. Meat Export Federation (USMEF). “The need for progress in trade talks is urgent,” said USMEF President Dan Halstrom, warning that tariffs could spike again on August 12. Exporters are already reconsidering their plans for the Chinese market.
