IAS Market Talk | Cattle Market Update – March 25, 2026

This week on IAS Market Talk, Dave Rueber breaks down recent volatility in the cattle markets and what it means for your operation.

After a strong run in boxed beef prices, the market saw a sharper-than-expected pullback, creating some uncertainty heading into the Easter demand window. Dave shares what’s driving the shift, how futures reacted, and what to watch in the days ahead.

He also covers:
 • Cash cattle trends and regional pricing strength
 • Feeder cattle supply tightening and rising input costs
 • Feed and hay market considerations
 • Cost of gain and break-even pressures
 • Key management decisions as margins tighten

As always, it’s a practical, boots-on-the-ground update designed to help you make informed decisions in a changing market.

Because when it comes to your operation, the best insights come from the people you know.

Tune in for straight talk, local insight, and the information you need from people you know.
