IAS Market Talk with David Rueber – 12/10/25
Beef Market Talk – December 10 with David Rueber
In this week’s Market Talk episode, IAS Beef Production Specialist David Rueber unpacks one of the wildest stretches we’ve seen in the cattle markets yet — a sharp rebound that’s stacked $17–$20 back onto the market in barely two weeks. With cash trade surging, feeders roaring higher, and cost-of-gain pressure building, David cuts through the noise with a clear, grounded breakdown of what’s driving the momentum.
He covers:
• Cash cattle jumping $10–$12 last week — and why early bids signal more strength
• Weather-related challenges tightening supplies and lifting the market
• Feeder cattle gaining back most of the fall drop
• Rising feed and hay costs pushing break-evens higher
• Limited hedging opportunities during this rally
• What to expect as packers finish holiday buying
• Why boxed beef prices could determine how long this run lasts
“Crazy up, crazy down, crazy back up again — what a ride this month has been.”
Take a few minutes to stay grounded, stay informed, and stay ahead as we head into the holidays.
