## Resource

On today’s episode of the podcast, Lauren is joined by Samantha Cozza-Wright for another cattle market update as volatility continues to dominate the conversation across cattle country. The two break down softer feeder cattle prices, uncertainty in the futures market, drought-driven calf movement, consumer beef demand, and the big question many producers are asking right now: are we actually expanding the U.S. cattle herd or simply maintaining it? Samantha also shares her thoughts on beef demand, market risk, and why producers need to be thinking strategically about protecting profitability in one of the most volatile cattle markets in history.
