Summary
Cattle ranchers are reeling this year as drought, soaring costs, and a stubborn screwworm outbreak tighten supplies—now compounded by whispers of lower beef prices that only deepen their anxiety. While the administration pushes back with an executive order to aid small meatpackers and temporarily suspends import tariffs, experts argue it doesn’t touch the core issues: record-low herds and sky-high production costs. Even cheaper imports won’t ease the burden when domestic raising stays expensive. Ranchers like Joshua Eilers say this is one of the toughest years they’ve faced, with long-term survival hanging in the balance—and uncertainty looms as tariffs return in November.
