Episode Details

The cattle market keeps pushing higher even when just about every indicator says it shouldn’t. In this episode, Lauren is joined by Dan and Samantha to break down a week of strong, resilient markets and the chaos that came with it. From headline driven volatility to shifting beef demand and a market that refuses to break, this conversation covers what’s happening right now and what producers should be watching moving forward, with a little humor along the way.
