Mid-Week Cattle Market Update

In this week’s Mid-Week Market Check, Brock and Jim break down a sharp forecast jump in 500–549 lb feeder steers, contrast rising futures with sluggish cash bids, and unpack what President Trump’s newly announced tariff rollback on beef could mean for U.S. cow-calf producers. They also dig into the fresh DOJ investigation into the Big Four packers, share firsthand stories from past trade shocks, and look at how tightening fed cattle supplies are shaping packer margins heading into December.

From global trade drama to packer pressure to quiet leverage for producers, this episode helps ranchers cut through the noise and make sense of a volatile market. Saddle up — there’s a lot moving in the cattle world this week, and the Guys have you covered.
