 Market analysts warn of critical supply constraints as the latest Cattle on Feed report reveals a stark 3% drop in on-feed inventory from January 2025, now sitting at 11.45 million head. With placements hitting decade-low levels and limited heifer retention, industry experts Brock and Jim compare current conditions to the transformative market of 1996. The tight supply situation, combined with severe winter weather impacts, has pushed futures higher despite cash market softness.In this week's comprehensive market wrap-up, hosts Brock and Jim analyze three major factors shaping the cattle markets: historically tight supply conditions, international trade dynamics, and the impact of severe winter weather across key cattle regions. The episode breaks down current feeder steer prices, with 500-549 pound cattle trading at $439.98 per hundredweight and 600-649 pound feeders at $390.78, both showing slight declines from previous weeks.The hosts examine how global trade developments are affecting domestic prices, including China's recent suspension of Irish beef imports and its potential implications for U.S. producers. Detailed analysis covers how international market access continues to influence local sale barn prices and overall industry profitability.The discussion concludes with an in-depth look at how current winter weather conditions are disrupting weight gain, feeding schedules, and transportation logistics across major cattle regions. Drawing from decades of experience, Brock and Jim offer practical insights for producers managing through challenging winter conditions while maintaining profitability in a volatile market environment.
