Summary
The cattle industry has had no shortage of headlines, and on today’s episode of the Cattle USA Daily Podcast , Lauren Moylan welcomes back Travis Mulliniks to break down what producers are facing right now. From Tyson plant closures, drought and wildfires to the return of Mexican cattle, changing beef policies, high cattle prices and questions surrounding herd rebuilding, Travis shares his perspective on the many moving pieces shaping the industry. The conversation also looks at processing capacity, cattle supply, long-term ranch planning, investing in the operation, and why producers should focus on what they can control rather than trying to predict the market.
