EPISODE 97 DETAILS Brazil Positioned To Overtake The U.S. In Beef Production For The First Time Brazil On Track To Produce More Beef Than The U.S. According to the USDA's August WASDE report, U.S. beef production in 2025 is projected at 25.992 billion pounds, reflecting a decline due to reduced fed and non-fed cattle slaughter and lighter dressed weights. If realized, this would mark the lowest annual beef production for the U.S. since 2016. Meanwhile, Brazil is forecast to produce 26.23 billion pounds of beef in 2025, slightly exceeding its record output from 2024. If this projection holds, Brazil will produce 243 million pounds more beef than the United States—a historic first. This milestone marks a dramatic shift in global beef production dynamics. In 2000, the U.S. outproduced Brazil by more than 12.7 billion pounds, but that gap has steadily narrowed. While U.S. production has declined by 4.1% since 2000, Brazil’s output has surged by over 82% during the same period. Brazil first surpassed 20 billion pounds of beef production in 2007 and has steadily expanded each year since. The 2025 forecast reflects the culmination of this long-term growth trajectory, positioning Brazil as the world’s top beef producer for the first time on record.

Cattle Industry News Govt. confirms first US human case of New World Screwworm The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the CDC confirmed the first human case in the U.S. of New World screwworm. According to a Reuters report, the individual is a Maryland resident, and they contracted screwworm during a trip to El Salvador. The CDC confirmed the diagnosis on Aug. 4, as did the Maryland Department of Health. In a statement to Reuters, HHS Spokesman Andrew G. Nixon said "The Risk to public health in the U.S. from this introduction is very low." In recent months, the U.S. government has taken considerable steps in protecting livestock from screwworm. Mid-July, USDA restarted its ban on Mexican livestock imports, and just last week, the agency announced a $750-million sterile fly production facility in Texas to combat the flesh-eating parasite's spread. In Texas alone, USDA estimates a screwworm outbreak could cost the state $1.8 billion in livestock deaths and other costs. Screwworms are parasitic flies whose females lay eggs in wounds on any warm-blooded animal. Once the eggs hatch, hundreds of screwworm larvae use their sharp mouths to burrow through living flesh, eventually killing their host if left untreated. Livestock traders and beef producers have been on edge about the potential for cases in cattle as prices have already hit record highs because the U.S. cattle herd is at its smallest size in seven decades.

EPISODE 95 DETAILS Beyond Meat Rumored To File Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Plant-Based Beyond Meat Rumored Bankruptcy, They Deny According to TheStreet.Com, Beyond Meat, the plant-based meat company has reported falling sales and dwindling cash. Beyond Meat recently hired a corporate restructuring expert and has let go of 44 employees in North America (6% of its global workforce). Sales in the second quarter dropped by nearly 20% year-over-year. Beyond Meat pushed back against rumors that it has filed bankruptcy, calling recent media reports "unequivocally false.” The statement comes amid a highly publicized and difficult financial period for Beyond Meat. The company, which played a key role in establishing the market for hyper-realistic meat analogues when it launched in 2009, has seen sales stagnate as the market becomes more competitive and consumers move away from “ultra-processed” alternative proteins.

Season 5, EPISODE 249 Red Angus Association Rebrands Feeder Calf Certification Program As Angus Access The Red Angus Association of America (RAAA) has officially rebranded its longstanding Feeder Calf Certification Program (FCCP) to Angus Access. This change reflects more than just a name update — it marks a strategic evolution in how Red Angus cattle are marketed, verified, and positioned within the beef industry. What Is Angus Access Angus Access is the beef industry’s first genetic, age, and source verification program, now modernized for today’s traceability and quality assurance demands. USDA-approved and trusted by Red Angus producers for over 30 years, the program now better aligns with both consumer expectations and industry trends like case-ready beef and private label branding. Why Red Angus? Premium Quality, Recognized Value Red Angus cattle consistently produce premium Angus beef, a product category in high demand with consumers seeking quality and consistency. The new name, Angus Access, emphasizes the breed’s place within Angus-branded beef programs, helping Red Angus producers gain the recognition — and market share — they deserve. A Legacy Of Verification & Market Access Originally launched in 1995, the Feeder Calf Certification Program was developed to help Red Angus calves compete with black-hided counterparts and gain access to value-based marketing opportunities. Through USDA-backed verification and the program’s iconic yellow tags, Red Angus calves earned industry-wide recognition for: Today, over 3.5 million calves have been enrolled in FCCP and its crossbred counterpart, Allied Access. Both programs have helped commercial producers nationwide capture added value through verified genetics and transparent sourcing. Transition To 840 Tags By 2026 RAAA is ensuring a smooth transition for current users. While existing FCCP tags remain valid through July 1, 2027, starting January 1, 2026, only 840 EID (Electronic Identification) tags will be issued for both Angus Access and Allied Access programs. Benefits of 840 EID tags include: Optional visual tags with the Angus Access and Allied Access logos will still be available for producers who value visual ID. EID Technology Supports The Future Of Beef Production As vertically integrated supply chains become the norm, EID-based verification systems are now expected by many beef processors, including sustainability-driven companies like Sustainable Beef. Research shows that beef products linked to transparent, verified production practices increase consumer trust by over 80%, driving repeat purchases and stronger brand loyalty. Angus Access: Driving The Future Of Verified Red Angus Beef The Angus Access rebrand is more than a marketing change — it’s a powerful statement of RAAA’s commitment to innovation, data integrity, and producer success. As consumer preferences and retailer demands evolve, Angus Access ensures that Red Angus genetics and the cattlemen behind them are ready to lead the way in transparent, value-driven beef production.

EPISODE 93 DETAILS Cow Prices Double & Screwworm Threatens Texas Weigh Up Cow Prices Are Up Weigh-up cow prices have increased dramatically over the last two years and are now currently at prices that are close to double the average price of what they were just 3 years ago in 2022. To put this in perspective, the average annual weigh-up cow prices per CWT were $60.05 in 2020, $65.40 in 2021 and $76.12 in 2022, as reported by USDA Market News at the Joplin Regional Stockyards in Missouri. For folks who are marketing home raised cows that are more than two years of age, make sure that the income from these cows is identified as capital gains income when it is being reported for tax purposes. This is especially important this year because many cow-calf producers will also have excellent income from the sale of weaned calves and yearlings. Capital gains income is not subject to self-employment tax, and the federal capital gains tax rate will be lower than the ordinary income tax rate for the same level of earnings. Make sure you consult with your tax professional on all income tax law and liabilities. REFERENCE: https://www.nationalbeefwire.com/weigh-up-cow-prices-are-up-way-up Screwworm Closer To U.S. Border Threatening Texas Cattle Industry The deadly parasitic New World screwworm has been spotted less than 400 miles from the Southwest border and is threatening Texas cattle, lawmakers say. The screwworm was first reported in Mexico in November and has steadily made its way north since then. The most northern recent reported case was in the state of Veracruz, Mexico, which is about 370 miles south of McAllen, Texas, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, says the screwworm flies could devastate the state’s cattle industry if it crosses onto U.S. soil. Cornyn says an outbreak could cost Texas livestock producers approximately $1 billion and cost the general economy $3.7 billion. Last week, 175 groups sent a letter to Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins and the U.S. House and Senate in support of building a sterile fly facility in the U.S. Among the national groups that signed the letter were the American Farm Bureau, Livestock Marketing Association, National Beef Cattlemen’s Association and the National Milk Producers Association.

Join Jeff 'Tigger' Erhardt, the Boss Lady Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC' by subscribing on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA), along with numerous state cattle associations, is urging lawmakers to support the Hauling Exemptions for Livestock Protection (HELP) Act, introduced by Representative Jeff Hurd (R-CO). This critical legislation would provide long-overdue relief for livestock haulers, protecting them from the burdensome Hours of Service (HOS) and Electronic Logging Device (ELD) mandates. HELP Act Would Reinstate Vital Exemptions for Livestock Transportation The HELP Act seeks to permanently codify HOS and ELD exemptions that were temporarily granted by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) during the COVID-19 pandemic. These exemptions allowed livestock truck drivers to safely transport live animals without being restricted by rigid federal mandates. For nearly two years, these waivers gave haulers the flexibility to adapt to weather, traffic, and the unique demands of transporting live animals—ensuring animal welfare and supply chain efficiency. However, once the exemptions expired, livestock haulers once again faced regulations that threaten both. By reinstating these exemptions, the HELP Act would ensure drivers can continue safely and humanely transporting livestock across the country without unnecessary delays or stress to animals. Speed Limiter Rule Dropped, But More Relief Is Needed In a recent win for the livestock industry, FMCSA and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced the withdrawal of a proposed rule to require speed limiters on commercial trucks. While this was welcomed by livestock haulers, HOS and ELD mandates remain a pressing concern. Unlike other freight, cattle and other livestock cannot be easily stopped, unloaded, or left idle during transport. Delays can cause undue stress or injury to animals, making flexible transportation rules essential. NCBA Thanks Rep. Jeff Hurd and Urges Congressional Action The NCBA has voiced strong support for the HELP Act and applauds Rep. Jeff Hurd for introducing this livestock-friendly legislation. By passing the HELP Act, Congress can ensure that haulers have the tools and flexibility needed to protect animal welfare, support ranchers, and strengthen the food supply chain.

Beef Cattle News Beef Market Uncertainty Fueled By Tight Supplies & High Prices According to Texas A&M Agricultural Economist David Anderson, the beef sector is entering a prolonged period of tight supplies and sustained high prices, and any meaningful herd expansion remains elusive. Anderson said that calf prices have reached record levels, with 500- to 600-pound steers in the Southern Plains averaging $4 per pound, but instead of retaining heifers to grow the herd, producers are largely “taking the money and running.” The shift toward expansion, when it happens, could lead to a temporary sharp decline in beef production, as fewer heifers are sent to feedlots. Anderson pointed to the upcoming Cattle on Feed report, which will include a quarterly update on heifers versus steers on feed, as a key signal. Another headwind for beef production is the ongoing closure of the U.S.-Mexico border to imported feeder cattle due to screw worm concerns. Anderson said the loss of 26,000 head per week is equivalent to 4% of the U.S. calf crop and about 18% of feeder placements in the Southwest, with significant regional impacts. The effects of that shortfall are already being seen, Anderson said, as steer and heifer slaughter continue to fall below year-ago levels. While heavier carcass weights have helped offset declining numbers in...

Beaver County Shatters Records with Top 10 All-Time Highs for 9-Weight Steers The national feeder cattle market remained red hot on Tuesday, especially for heavier weight classes, with all-time record highs set for the weighted average prices in the 800–899, 900–999, and 1,000–1,099 lb categories. Prices reached $325.79 for 8-weights, $319.39 for 9-weights, and $305.53 for 10-weights—levels once thought nearly unattainable. Records were set across the country, reflecting exceptional strength and broad-based demand in the heavyweight feeder market. Beaver County Stockyards (Beaver, OK) blew the top off the record books on Tuesday, setting an incredible 30 new barn records across multiple weight classes, including all-time highs for 4-, 7-, 8-, 9-, and 10-weight steers—marking one of the most dominant single-day market performances in the barn’s history. Highlights included 18 head at 748 lbs bringing $364.00/cwt, the highest 7-weight price on Tuesday and one of the Top 5 all-time; 18 head at 829 lbs at $333.50/cwt, a new all-time high for 8-weights and one of six new Top 10 sales in that class; and 15 head at 1,031 lbs bringing $312.00/cwt, the highest 10-weight ever sold at the barn. But the biggest headline came from the 9-weights, where all 10 of the top 10 highest-priced sales in Beaver County history were set in a single day, led by 49 head at 900 lbs selling for a record $327.00/cwt.

Beef Cattle News Border Closed To Mexican Livestock Imports Just days after reopening southern U.S. ports for Mexican livestock imports, the USDA has shut them down again due to a new case of New World Screwworm (NWS) in Veracruz, Mexico—just 370 miles from the U.S. border. This follows earlier cases in May that prompted the initial closure. The USDA's phased reopening plan is now on hold, citing the need for stronger containment efforts in Mexico. The halt threatens U.S. beef supply chains, especially in Texas. To respond, the USDA is pushing for stricter controls in Mexico and fast-tracking a U.S.-based sterile fly production facility to fight the pest.

Episode 90 1000 Pound Steers Bring All Time High Prices Last week marked a historic milestone as 10-weight steers broke the $300.00 barrier for the first time ever—an achievement once thought out of reach. Incredibly, all Top 10 all-time high sales for 10-wt steers have now been set within the last 48 hours, redefining the upper limits of this weight class. From Bassett to Hub City to Kimball and Stockmen’s, barns across the Northern Plains have fueled this surge with massive, high-quality strings commanding record-setting bids. It’s been a two-day stretch unlike anything the feeder market has ever seen—48 hours of pure fire in 10-weight history.

Top Reasons To Use Drones For Spraying Pastures & Weeds Agri Drones can seed and spray chemicals when fields are not ready for equipment and it is more precise than other aerial seeding options. Plus a drone can avoid obstacles and pinpoint certain areas. You can find out more about who we used to control our noxious weeds by clicking Pro Ag Solutions. 1. Precision Application Targeted spraying of individual weed patches instead of blanket applications Reduces herbicide waste and chemical drift GPS-guided flight paths ensure consistent coverage and record-keeping 2. Access Hard-to-Reach Areas Drones can easily reach: Steep terrain Wet ground or boggy spots Brushy fence lines and ravines Eliminates the need to risk equipment damage or operator safety in difficult terrain 3. Reduced Soil Compaction No heavy tractor tires driving over sensitive ground Helps preserve soil structure and forage health 4. Time & Labor Savings Faster setup and application time compared to manual or vehicle-based sprayers Reduces labor requirements — one operator can manage several acres per hour Perfect for small patches or spot treatments that aren't worth dragging out a boom sprayer 5. Ideal for Sensitive Areas Less impact on: Native grasses Wildlife habitat Waterways (when used with precision nozzles and appropriate buffers) 6. Data Collection & Monitoring Many drones are equipped to map weed infestations before spraying Enables before-and-after analysis, recordkeeping, and adaptive management 7. Cost-Effective for Small & Mid-Sized Pastures Great return on investment for: Pastures under 200 acres Rotational grazing systems Landowners or ranchers who want more control over timing and application Cattle News Cattlemen’s Groups React to “The One, Big, Beautiful Bill” The U.S. Cattlemen's Association (USCA) and the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) commented on the successful passage of "The One, Big, Beautiful Bill", which includes several provisions critical to the U.S. livestock industry and wins for America's family farmers and ranchers. A few of the highlights include: Livestock Indemnity Program Establishes a payment rate for losses due to predation at 100% of the market value and losses due to adverse weather or disease at 75% of the market value. Introduces additional payments for unborn livestock death losses incurred on or after January 1, 2024, at a rate determined by the Secretary, not exceeding 85% of the payment rate for the lowest weight class of livestock. Livestock Forage Disaster Program Allows for two monthly payments and specifying eligibility criteria based on grazing periods and expands the program by allowing it to kick in after 4 consecutive weeks of drought, rather than the previous 8 consecutive weeks Emergency Assistance Provides emergency assistance for cattle with specific payment rates and eligibility criteria. Death Tax The bill increases the Death Tax exemption to $15 million per individual or $30 million per couple, adjusted annually for inflation. This means if the value of your farm or ranch plus equipment, cattle, and other assets are less than $15 million individually or $30 million as a couple Foreign Animal Disease Prevention Specifies funding allocations for foreign animal disease prevention...

State & National Records Broken For Feeder Cattle Green City Livestock Marketing hosted its Annual Beef BBQ Customer Appreciation event with a powerhouse two-day sale that drew intense buyer demand and showcased top-tier cattle. Widely regarded as one of the most exceptional sales in the barn’s history, the event shattered records at every level—posting 35 all-time barn records, 13 new Missouri state highs, and 4 national benchmarks. The results speak to both the superior quality of the offering and the underlying strength of the current feeder market. New highs were set across multiple weight classes, with several standout drafts making national headlines. On July 2, 2025, 11 head at 615 lbs sold for $425.00/cwt, marking the highest 6-weight steer price ever recorded in the U.S. That same day, 39 head at 705 lbs brought $369.00, the third-highest price nationally for 7-weight steers. Other highlights included 21 head at 433 lbs fetching $462.50 (4-weights) and 17 head at 846 lbs bringing $329.50 (8-weights), both setting new highs. The momentum began on June 30 with two heavyweight drafts: 63 head at 906 lbs sold for $315.25 (4th all-time nationally) and 67 head at 902 lbs brought $313.75 (10th all-time), both breaking barn and Missouri state records for 9-weight steers.

USDA to Reopen Livestock Trade with Mexico in Phases The USDA has announced a phased reopening of U.S. ports to cattle, bison, and equines from Mexico starting July 7, 2025, beginning with the Douglas, Arizona port. This follows significant progress in Mexico’s New World Screwworm (NWS) response, including expanded surveillance, increased sterile fly dispersal (over 100 million per week), and no recent signs of northward NWS spread. USDA officials conducted on-site evaluations and determined that conditions now support limited trade resumption. Further port reopenings in New Mexico and potentially Texas will depend on continued improvements, case monitoring, and enhanced animal health protocols. Port Reopening Timeline *After each reopening USDA will evaluate to ensure no adverse effects arise* REFERENCE: https://www.nationalbeefwire.com/u-s-cattle-report Walmart Launches First In-House Case-Ready Beef Facility in Kansas Walmart announced the grand opening of its first-ever owned and operated case-ready beef facility in Olathe, Kansas. This milestone reinforces Walmart’s commitment to building a more resilient, transparent and efficient supply chain for Angus beef — helping Walmart provide quality beef options that meet demand and bring tremendous value to customers across the Midwest. In 2022, Walmart made an equity investment in Sustainable Beef LLC in North Platte, Nebraska, as part of its continued efforts in creating an end-to-end supply chain for Angus beef. Sustainable Beef’s majority ownership is local and producer-centric, with cattle sourced from no more than a 250-mile radius to the plant in a region that has exceptionally high-quality cattle. Now, the newly opened, 300,000+ square-foot, state-of-the-art facility will package and distribute Angus cuts sourced directly from Sustainable Beef LLC to stores across the Midwest, bringing even greater transparency to customers seeking quality beef options at Walmart stores in the region.
