In this episode of Cattle USA Daily, Lauren Moylan and Samantha Cozza-Wright break down what is driving the downturn, from rising grain prices and returning Mexican feeder cattle to increasing beef imports, weaker exports and shrinking slaughter capacity. Samantha explains why producers need to look beyond the latest headlines and pay attention to how these factors are coming together over the long term. They also discuss government intervention, herd rebuilding, beef-on-dairy cattle, retained yearlings and what could happen when a large fall calf run meets a market that is already under pressure.
