In today’s episode of the Ranchonomics podcast, host John Haskell welcomes back Wally Olson to discuss the concept of relative value and the current market in the cattle industry. We dive into the importance of understanding which cattle to buy and which to sell in order to create opportunities for profitability as well as why we should be looking at price comparison instead of absolute price when making decisions. Wally also explains the significance of making informed decisions by continuously doing the math, how market volatility creates opportunities, and why you shouldn't rely solely on market predictions.
