Managing Cattle & Grass In A Drought
It is that time of year that many producers are moving cattle to summer grazing.  But drought is plaguing many and it continues to worsen.  According to drought.gov, as of May 5th, 60.92% of the country is experiencing moderate to exceptional drought, largely concentrated in the Southeast, High Plains, and West. There are strategies for managing drought, or I should say how we manage grass and forage uptake in the cowherd to get through drought.  Trevor Burian from Killdeer North Dakota joins us today.  Trevor has been a student of grazing, plant management, regenerative ag, and cattle efficiency and profitability his entire life.

Tyson’s Multi-Million-Dollar Beef Settlement
A federal judge granted preliminary approval to a proposed $47 million class action settlement between Tyson Foods and commercial and institutional indirect purchaser plaintiffs in the ongoing cattle and beef antitrust litigation.
An order filed in the middle of last week approved preliminary certification of a settlement class covering entities in the United States that indirectly purchased certain raw beef products sold by defendants between Jan. 1, 2015, and May 6, 2026, for use in commercial food preparation. 
The settlement involves Tyson Foods Inc. and Tyson Fresh Meats Inc. Tyson did not oppose the motion for preliminary approval.
The plaintiffs in the case include restaurants, catering companies and other foodservice operators alleging anticompetitive conduct in the fed cattle and beef markets.
The approval comes on the heels of the DOJ’s doubling down on an ongoing investigation into Tyson, JBS, National Beef and Cargill. The DOJ and USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins accused the “Big Four” of colluding to artificially raise beef prices.

Beef Exports
U.S. beef exports declined in March as shipments to China remained largely stalled, though strong variety meat demand helped push export value for those products to a record high, according to data released by USDA and compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation.
March beef exports were down 11% from a year ago, while export value fell 8%. Shipments increased year-over-year to Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean and Indonesia, while exports to South Korea and Taiwan were steady. However, exports to China remained minimal and shipments also trailed year-ago levels to Japan and the Middle East.
Excluding China, March beef export volume increased 4% from a year ago while value climbed 8%.

Market Restrictions Due To Pseudorabies
Mexico is blocking certain US pork products due to pseudorabies concerns, the USDA said in an advisory note in the FSIS Export Library. The moves by Mexico, the largest market for US pork exports, come a week after the discovery of pseudorabies in a small commercial pig operation in Iowa and a farm in Texas where the infected animals originated, and other trade partners appear to be responding as well.
The confirmation of pseudorabies at a small swine facility in Iowa was the first commercial outbreak since 2004, when the US deemed the virus eradicated from the commercial swine industry. The virus can, however, still be found in some feral swine populations, and there is occasional spillover of infection to outdoor herds where contact with feral swine is possible. USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service said initial traceback from the Iowa herd indicated that affected boars came from an outdoor facility in Texas.

President Trump Delays Beef Imports
Earlier in the week, President Donald Trump delayed the planned signing of executive orders ‌to allow increased beef imports into the U.S. and to support renewal of the U.S. cattle herd in an effort to address high beef prices.  
Last October, Trump ordered a quadrupling of beef imports from Argentina, and a month later removed his 40% punitive tariff on Brazilian beef and coffee.
The moves did little to reverse beef prices, which were up 12.1% year-over-year in April, according to the Labor Department's Consumer Price Index. 
Beef ‌is more ⁠than 16% more expensive than when Trump returned to office in January 2025. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has projected that the country will import a record 5.8 billion pounds of beef this year, up about 6% from 2025 and ⁠25% from 2024.

Cattle Industry News
Florida Restricts Animal Imports From Texas
A dangerous livestock pest that hasn’t been seen in the United States for years is raising new concerns—this time along the southern border.
The New World screwworm is a parasitic fly whose larvae feed on the living flesh of animals, most often cattle. While infections in humans are rare, they can be serious—and in extreme cases, even fatal.
Right now, there are no confirmed cases in the U.S. But Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller says a case has been detected just across the border about 60 miles south of Texas.
That proximity is enough to trigger action more than a thousand miles away.
Florida officials are now tightening restrictions on livestock coming from six counties in South Texas: Zapata, Jim Hogg, Starr, Hidalgo, Webb, and Brooks counties. Any animals brought in from those areas must undergo additional veterinary inspections and, if needed, treatment before entering the state.
Florida Agriculture Commissioner Wilton Simpson says the state is taking no chances.
He warned that if the screwworm takes hold, it could have serious economic and animal health consequences. He’s also urging ranchers, veterinarians, and animal health workers to stay alert and report anything unusual right away.
Here’s how the pest works: adult flies lay eggs in open wounds or natural openings on an animal’s body. When those eggs hatch, the larvae—commonly known as maggots—burrow into the tissue and begin feeding. According to the CDC, the infestation can worsen quickly if not treated.
Texas officials say Florida’s response makes sense. The state dealt with a screwworm outbreak in the past, and the memory of that damage still lingers.
Meanwhile, as a precaution, the U.S. has shut down livestock trade through ports of entry along the southern border.
There are also long-term plans in motion to stop the pest before it spreads. The U.S. Department of Agriculture is building a sterile fly production facility at Moore Air Base in Edinburg, Texas. The idea is to release sterilized male flies into the wild. Since female screwworms mate only once, this strategy helps prevent reproduction and gradually reduces the population.
That facility is expected to be up and running by November of 2027.
For now, officials say vigilance is key. Even without confirmed cases in the U.S., the threat is close enough to be taken seriously.

FAIR Labels Act Ensures Transparent Alt Protein Labeling
Representatives from Missouri, Texas, Nebraska, Idaho and Wisconsin, reintroduced the Fair and Accurate Ingredient Representation on Labels (FAIR Labels) Act in the House to add transparency in food labeling for alternative protein products. 
The legislation will provide consumers with clear and accurate information about plant-based and cell-cultivated protein products when making purchasing decisions.
Sens. Pete Ricketts (R-Neb.) and John Fetterman (D-Pa.) sponsored the Senate version of the bill.
The FAIR Labels Act:
Defines "cell-cultivated" and "plant-based alternative" protein products to help consumers easily identify these products.
Provides a clear definition of cell-cultivated protein products to ensure labels accurately reflect lab-grown food sources.
Requires product labels to use terms like "cell cultivated" or "plant based" and to bear a clear disclaimer if the product does not contain meat or poultry or was not derived from a live animal.
Directs the U.S. Department of Agriculture to oversee the labeling of these products, working alongside the Food & Drug Administration to maintain product inspection standards.
Confirms the shared jurisdiction of FDA and USDA in overseeing cell-cultivated protein products, and requires the secretaries of agriculture and health and human services to jointly revise their 2019 current memorandum of understanding.
NCBA President and Virginia cattle producer Gene Copenhaver said that currently, there is no federal statute for labeling cell-cultivated protein products in the marketplace. For far too long, lab-grown protein companies have exploited the use of terms like ‘meat’ and ‘beef’ to describe their products, creating the potential for consumer confusion through misleading marketing.  He went on to say that “The FAIR Labels Act will establish a federal guideline for labeling cell-cultivated and plant-based alternative protein products, ensuring consumers can easily differentiate these products from real beef products produced by U.S. cattlemen and cattlewomen.”

Pseudorabies In Iowa & Texas
For the first time since being eradicated in the U.S. Commercial swine herds in 2004, pseudorabies (PRV) have been confirmed in herds in Iowa and Texas (Shike, 2026).
A small commercial swine facility in Iowa was confirmed to have positive cases of PRV by the USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) and the National Veterinary Services Laboratories during routine testing. Officials at APHIS, in collaboration with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and the Texas Animal Health Commission, revealed that five affected boars in the Iowa facility originated from an outdoor production site in Texas (Shike, 2026). It is believed that the initial infection on the outdoor production site in Texas may have been a result of unintentional contact with feral swine.
Pseudorabies virus was eradicated from the U.S. commercial swine herd in 2004. However, it is critically important to remember that PRV is endemic in the feral swine populations around the U.S. An APHIS release stated, “Pseudorabies is still found in wild or feral swine populations, which remain a potential threat of exposure for domestic pigs.”

Early Signals Of Herd Rebuilding Emerge
USDA Economist Justin Benavidez says the cattle cycle remains a reliable guidepost, even as producers debate what’s really happening on the ground. “The cattle profitability is all based on the cycle… looking back over over 100 years, the U.S. cattle cycle is a very well-documented phenomenon.”
He said that while opinions vary widely, he points to gradual trends in the data as the clearest indicator. “What the data is telling us in that pattern over time, is that we’re seeing the earliest indicators of a herd rebuild… a slight retention in heifer uptick year over year.”
Even so, he acknowledges uncertainty remains. He said he hears how people are very passionate on both sides of whether we're not retaining heifers, or we are retaining heifers, and USDA data, he says… is not telling the full story.” Even so, he continued that year-over-year trends still offer the best directional signal for where the industry is headed.

Cattle Industry News
Cattle Herd Rebuilding & Drought
These are the best of times for cow-calf producers, at least on paper. The CME feeder cattle index, which tracks the price of feeder cattle at various auctions, is currently 28% higher than a year ago. Even when adjusting for inflation, current feeder cattle prices are almost 20% higher than the previous cyclical peak in 2014. 
However, the dramatic increase in cow-calf returns has not caused producers to retain more heifers for cow herd replacement. The sharp jump in returns in 2014 resulted in a 7% increase in beef cow replacement heifers to start the new year.  Last year may have been the best on record for producer returns, but replacement heifers increased just 0.4%, with the beef cow replacements up less than 1%.
The Livestock Market Information Center or LMIC expects cow-calf producer returns to be even better in 2026 and 2027. The surge in futures has caused LMIC to raise calculated returns for 2026 by 32% vs. October, while returns for 2027 are now 54% higher than estimated six months ago, at nearly $1,100/cow. There is certainly interest on the part of producers to invest in their operations, but there are several critical hurdles. The main one is drought. We do not yet have a full reading of pasture conditions, but expectations are that conditions are far worse than last year. 
According to USDA, about 45% of US cattle are now in areas experiencing severe or more intense drought. Producers with hay stocks are working through them as they wait for spring weather to green up pastures, but that is not guaranteed. Producers may have the best intentions to breed more heifers, but if feed is not there, they may opt to replace older cows rather than expand the herd.
The other challenge is uncertainty about beef demand, not today or tomorrow, but in 2027, 2028, and beyond. The economy is on solid footing, and combined with a growing consumer appetite for protein, this has helped push beef demand to the highest point in 30+ years. Consumers are fickle and tastes change. After many years of battling drought, packers, and changing consumer diets, for some producers this is a golden opportunity to cash out.

Canada’s Beef Traceability Rules On Hold
Changes to Canada’s beef traceability regulations were set to take effect in spring 2026 under Part 15 of the Health of Animals Regulations, but the Canadian Food Inspection Agency has paused publication of the proposed amendments after significant pushback from cattle producers.
The complexity of the regulatory package has fuelled misunderstanding across the industry, and opposition has been vocal — including a petition launched Jan. 8 that has drawn nearly 30,000 signatures.
Traceability efforts began before the 2003 BSE crisis, as the disease spread across Europe and Canada prepared for its arrival. The system was built to identify where infected animals came from and where they went, so the Canadian market could reopen as quickly as possible. 
Rick Wright of the Livestock Markets Association of Canada said   without  industry being at the table from day one, we may have been slapped with something that’s closer to what Europe is than what we’ve got today.
Producers have raised concerns about several elements of the proposed changes: the requirement to use premises identification numbers to purchase identification tags, the seven-day movement reporting window and the expanded role of the Canadian Livestock Tracking system. —  particularly for those without reliable internet access.
Other concerns include government overreach, the administrative burden on producers who move and sell cattle frequently, and what many see as insufficient communication from both the CFIA and producer organizations. Some producers have said publicly they do not intend to comply.

Vet Shortage Challenges Livestock Producers
Access to large animal veterinary care continues to be a growing concern, as livestock producers in Wyoming, Nebraska and Colorado face ongoing shortages in rural veterinary services.
Much of the region has been identified as underserved through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Veterinary Medicine Loan Repayment Program, which designates areas lacking sufficient veterinary coverage and offers incentives to attract practitioners. These designations underscore a widespread challenge in maintaining adequate care for livestock-heavy states.
In these states, livestock operations are often spread across large geographic areas, meaning  veterinarians cover extensive territories. Even a small decline in available practitioners can have significant impacts, leading to longer response times, increased travel distances and limited availability during critical periods.
For producers, access to timely veterinary care is essential for herd health, productivity and regulatory compliance, especially during high-demand seasons such as calving.
Federal and state programs across the Northern Plains show a growing recognition of the issue, but also highlight the scale of the challenge.
Incentive-based programs in states like Nebraska aim to recruit veterinarians into rural practice, while proposed federal legislation seeks to strengthen those efforts. Wyoming’s investments, meanwhile, support the broader animal health systems that depend on veterinary capacity.
Even with these efforts, the shortage of large animal veterinarians remains a long-term concern. Sustained focus on education, recruitment and retention will be critical to ensuring livestock producers across Wyoming, Nebraska and Colorado have access to the veterinary care they depend on.

McDonald’s Big Arch
McDonald’s efforts to balance prices and value in the face of more expensive inputs and inflation-stressed consumers is leading the chain to upgrade burgers even as chicken takes up more menu space, according to CEO Chris Kempczinski.
He went viral recently in a video promoting McDonald’s newly introduced Big Arch, drawing social media ridicule for taking a dainty bite. Bosses from competing chains made videos chowing down on their own sandwiches, but the hoopla ultimately dramatically raised awareness of the new burger.
Kempczinski said in a recent video interview with the Wall Street Journal that there's a group of consumers out there who want a really big burger that’s a half pound of beef in the Big Arch.
He went on to say as you look at what consumers were buying, and perhaps other places; fast casual restaurants or or even fine dining or full dining, there’s a desire to have sort of an elevated burger experience. And I think what we’ve done with the Big Arch, the bun, sauces that we have with it, the crispy onions, all those things. That was for us, a way to offer that more elevated burger experience.”
Kempczinski said there’s been quite a bit of cost inflation, both on the input side, so food and packaging, those costs are up pretty significantly,” Burgers and beef … has probably been one of the most hard-hit areas, and then you also had quite a bit of labor inflation that’s happened.”
McDonald’s has been steadily adding chicken items to its menu for years, in part to manage input costs. Its expansion this year of value menu items has also been chicken-centric.

April Was A Record Setting Month For Feeder Cattle Sales
April wrapped up the month with tremendous action for many weight classes.  7 weight steers in particular surged in the month of April posting the second highest weighted average in US history at $399.87 - just shy of the $404.68 mark set earlier in the month.  The all time top ten 7 weight steer weighted averages continue to be dominated by recent trade.  April alone accounted for 7 of those top averages, with February holding the other three.  That kind of concentration shows how quickly this market has accelerated through the spring, with multiple sessions pushing into record territory in only a matter of weeks. 
Atkinson Livestock Market (Atkinson, NE) hosted a Special Feeder Calf Auction on Tuesday, April 28th that delivered exceptional results, setting 17 steer records and establishing new all-time highs across multiple weight classes. A group of 40 head averaging 335 lbs brought $702.50, marking a new barn record for 3 weights and the first 10-head-plus sale ever over $700. In the 4-weight category, 28 head at 408 lbs sold for $611.00, a new record and only the second sale over $600 in barn history. Six-weight steers also set new highs, with 600–602 lb cattle bringing $497.00 and $482.50.
The momentum continued with 40 head of 716 lb steers at $453.00, a new barn record and the third highest 7-weight price in U.S. history. Heavier cattle followed suit, as 54 head of 904 lb steers sold for $364.50, the first 9-weight sale over $360 and a new barn record, while 1,015 lb steers reached $326.00, the third highest 10-weight price in barn history and the highest since October. It was a standout day in Atkinson, Nebraska.

Strategic Trace Mineral Supplementation For Cattle Health & Reproduction With MultiMin 90 From Axiota Animal Health
Keeping cattle healthy and productive requires the right balance of nutrients—especially trace minerals like zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium. These nutrients play a key role in reproduction, immunity, and overall performance.
Multimin® 90 is an injectable trace mineral supplement designed to quickly support cattle when they need it most.
Why Trace Minerals Matter
When cattle don’t get enough trace minerals, it can lead to:
Weaker immune systems
Lower fertility rates
Slower growth
Even with good feed programs, cattle may still fall short because:
Minerals in feed and water can be blocked and not absorbed
Some animals consume less than others
Stressful events increase mineral needs quickly
Key Benefits of Strategic Supplementation
Better Breeding Results
Providing trace minerals at the right time can improve fertility and help produce more calves in a shorter period.
Healthier Calves
Supplementing cows late in pregnancy supports nutrient transfer to the calf and improves colostrum quality.
Stronger Immunity
Trace minerals help cattle respond better to vaccines and fight off disease.
How Multimin® 90 Works
Multimin® 90 is given by injection, allowing minerals to:
Enter the bloodstream quickly (within 8–10 hours)
Bypass digestion issues in the rumen
Be stored in the liver for later use
This ensures every animal gets the minerals it needs—right when it needs them.
When to Use It
Cows & Heifers
Last trimester of pregnancy
About 30 days before breeding
Bulls
At weaning
45–60 days before breeding season
Calves (2+ months)
At first vaccination
At weaning
Stockers
During processing
How to Use
Always consult your veterinarian
Follow label directions carefully
Dose based on animal weight and age
Do not exceed 7 mL per injection site

DOJ Proceeds With Packer Investigation
After a relatively quiet start to 2026, attention has sharply returned to the U.S. meat industry as new details emerge about a federal investigation targeting the nation’s largest processors.
The probe gained traction following a Nov. 7 directive from President Donald Trump, with then–Attorney General Pam Bondi and Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins quickly confirming the effort. Until recently, however, little had been disclosed about its status. A new report from the Wall Street Journal offers the first substantive glimpse into the investigation’s progress this year.
According to the report, the Department of Justice is investigating Tyson Foods, Cargill, JBS, and National Beef for potential criminal anticompetitive practices. At the center of the inquiry is how these companies purchase cattle from ranchers—an issue that has long drawn scrutiny from producers and policymakers alike.
Rollins previously signaled this focus in a January interview, highlighting what she described as widespread concern among ranchers. Many, she said, have raised persistent alarms about consolidation in the meatpacking industry and its potential impact on pricing. That consolidation, in the view of the administration, may be contributing to market conditions that disadvantage independent producers.
“It’s something the president—and many in our administration—believe could be resulting in unfair pricing,” Rollins noted, emphasizing that the DOJ’s review is intended to address those concerns.
She also framed the issue more broadly, describing it as a matter of national security. Over the past two decades, increased foreign investment in U.S. agricultural production and processing has reshaped the industry. According to Rollins, the administration is taking a closer look to ensure those shifts serve the interests of American farmers, ranchers, and consumers.
This is not the first federal investigation into the meatpacking sector. During Trump’s first term, a similar probe was launched in June 2020, but it produced little public information. Reports later revealed that the Justice Department closed that investigation last fall—just weeks before the president called for renewed action—without filing any charges.
Now, with fresh scrutiny and new details coming to light, the industry appears to be entering a more consequential phase of oversight.

New World Screwworm Close To The United States
Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller today is warning of a serious and immediate threat to the state’s livestock industry.
The northern-most detection of the New World screwworm has now been confirmed in Nuevo León, Mexico — just 90 miles from the U.S. border.
Miller says this is no distant concern.
MILLER:“The New World screwworm is a direct and imminent threat to Texas, and we are treating it that way. This is a high-stakes situation for our ranchers, our livestock industry, and our food supply.”
While federal agencies have responded, Miller says the pest’s spread has not yet been contained — and that raises concern.
MILLER:“That’s exactly why Texas must be proactive. We are fully engaged and prepared to use every available tool to stop this threat.”
He’s urging all Texas producers to act now.
MILLER:“Be on high alert. Check your animals. Know the signs. If you see anything unusual, report it immediately. Early detection is the difference between containment and a full-blown crisis.”
State leaders say they’re coordinating with federal, state, and local partners — but more action is needed at the source.
MILLER:“Texas has defeated screwworm before, and we will do it again — but it takes urgency and immediate action.”
For more information on detection, prevention, and reporting, visit Screwworm dot gov.
