Check out the ERS topic pages for "Cattle & Beef". The sections of Sector at a Glance and Statistics and Information were revised and updated.

Ugh, screwworm... I can't say that forecasting has been easy but it's certainly been fascinating since I started this job nearly 10 yrs ago. I hope that these "challenges" facing the beef and cattle markets result in some structural change with long term benefits.

The ineffectiveness of administration officials addressing this issue is not lost on me.

I didn't know it was possible to include so many underlying themes in one 30 minute video on truck stops.

A buffalo resembling Trump has been transferred to Bangladesh’s national zoo, where it is now being treated properly.

If not for the public outcry, the animal would likely have been killed already.

@Cclift52 @SecRollins Yes, Mexico should be banned from having their own beef industry. Just letting their cattle run amuk down there should be a violation against the Geneva Convention.

*The rage from MAHA has been building all year, but it feels like we hit a new level this week. Just nonstop betrayal.

This week, the Trump admin:

-nixed some limits on PFAS in drinking water
-ruled atrazine is fine to keep using
-took out MAHA hero @RepThomasMassie
-MAGA Inc. reportedly took $5M from Big Tobacco days before FDA changed vaping policy

This isn’t even a complete list of what they're mad about.

@pemarchand @N5Pennies @KINGS1973 It doesn't have to end there. Generally speaking, just shoot an email (because we don't have phones anymore), and we'll try our best to answer your questions. I can always call you and we can BS our way to an answer.

It’s dry.. real dry. But if you have the feed there is a lot of good pairs that wouldn’t be coming to town otherwise. Selling Friday at Crawford Livestock, NE
