In this episode, John Haskell sits down with Ryan Noble and Wally Olson to break down the critical difference between inflation, deflation, appreciation, and depreciation, and why confusing these forces can lead to costly missteps, even in the best markets. As cattle values have surged over the past several years, many producers have seen their balance sheets grow without realizing how much of that gain is driven by external market forces. The conversation highlights how depreciation still quietly works against you, why relative value matters more than price, and how failing to actively manage herd inventory and replacement decisions can leave significant money on the table, especially when the market eventually turns.
