    Friggin’ Farm & Ranch Report — Weekly Wrap | April 10, 2026
    Apr 11 2026
    This week’s Weekly Wrap is a full barn. JBS Greeley’s workers are back on the line with no contract, diesel jumps another 24 cents to $5.64, and USDA’s April WASDE reminds everybody there still aren’t enough cattle and there’s too much wheat. We break down live and feeder cattle, cash trade, slaughter pace, boxed beef, and what a below-capacity kill floor means for your fats and your calves. On the sale barn side, we run the Sale Barn Double-Shot with cattle runs across the West plus a firm using-horse market, and we tip the hat to sponsors Lone Star Stockyards in Texas and Atkinson Livestock Market “The Old Reliable” up on Highway 20 in Nebraska. Then it’s grains, inputs, and pain: range-bound corn and beans, wheat trading a war-and-drought risk premium, diesel screaming higher, fertilizer stubbornly expensive, and interest rates that refuse to back off. We hit drought maps, Washington State’s fourth straight drought emergency, and what that means for grass, hay, and stocking rates. War Reel covers the Iran front, Hormuz and Red Sea shipping risk, and the Black Sea grain corridor – not because we like it, but because it’s why your fuel bill and fertilizer freight won’t calm down. We wrap with Forest Service HQ moving west, the Farm Bridge deadline, sports shenanigans, and an “On This Day” run from the Titanic to a Florida Porsche joyride. Sponsored by: Lone Star Stockyards (Wildorado, TX) – https://www.lonestarstockyards.com Atkinson Livestock Market “The Old Reliable” (Atkinson, NE) – https://www.atkinsonlivestock.com Markets, war, drought, and bad decisions – all tied back to what it means for your cows, your crops, and your fuel bill.

  • Man About a Horse — Friggin’ Farm & Ranch Report (4/9/26)

    Man About a Horse — Friggin’ Farm & Ranch Report (4/9/26)
    Apr 10 2026
    Today's Friggin' Farm & Ranch Report is a "don't screw up" kind of market. Live cattle in the high 240s, feeders still stout, May corn in the mid-$4s taking some pressure off the bunk. Cash rundown from OKC West, Clovis, Billings, and a horse market with starch back in the cull floor. Inputs: diesel at $5.643/gal, WTI near $98, DAP/urea still painful. Drought hammering the southern Plains and Southwest. War reel: Ukraine grinding, Israel-Hezbollah trading shots, Hormuz still a choke point. Policy risk meter at 48/100. Freedom Framework overall: 41/100 — defensive. Watch your inputs.

  • War Premium Off, Cattle Still Tight — Friggin' Farm & Ranch Report (4/8/26)

    War Premium Off, Cattle Still Tight — Friggin' Farm & Ranch Report (4/8/26)
    Apr 9 2026
    War, ceasefire, and a cattle market that refuses to roll over. In this Friggin' Farm & Ranch Report for Wednesday, April 8, 2026, Matt walks through a wild 24 hours where Trump's Pakistan-brokered two-week truce with Iran knocked crude down as much as 18%, only for the whole deal to start cracking before the ink was dry. We talk Hormuz, Lebanon, OSINT, and what a "ceasefire" actually means when tankers, missiles, and diesel bills are all tied together. From there, it's one clean after-close market segment: - Live cattle holding in the high 240s with tight supply still doing its job - Feeders clawing back earlier weakness on cheaper corn and snug calves - Corn/beans/wheat leaking lower into the bell as war and weather premium come out - Metals ripping on a late fear bid while stocks puke into the close in a classic risk-off flush Fence Post Politics hits the Farm Bill, environmental lawfare, and the AI data-center land war that's chewing up irrigated acres, water, and cheap power. Drought and herd numbers get their due, with tight beef cows and tight grass still the main story in the West. We close with On This Day, some sports, and a reminder that local zoning boards might be the last line of defense between your cows and a server farm. If you're trying to make sense of war headlines, diesel receipts, and a cattle market that won't quit, this one will get you caught up enough to make decisions without flinching.
