318: Use the Rally or Risk It? A Producer Friendly Market... For Now with Dan and Samantha
Description
The cattle market is on a run, but how long does it last, and what should producers be doing right now?
Lauren is joined by Dan and Samantha today to break down a rapid rally in the live and feeder cattle markets, strong consumer demand heading into grilling season, and why this current environment is as producer-friendly as it gets, at least for now.
They discuss aggressive packer behavior, tightening cattle supplies, and how quickly things have shifted as the market pushes into record territory. But alongside the optimism, there’s still plenty of uncertainty. From extreme weather across the country to rising corn prices and cost of gain concerns, this episode highlights the factors that could impact what comes next and why risk management matters more than ever in a volatile market.
If you’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to make decisions, this might be it.
