Beef Market Talk – December 3 with David Rueber

In this week’s market commentary, IAS Beef Production Specialist David Reuber breaks down another turbulent stretch in the cattle markets — a wild swing higher just days after prices found their recent low. With fat cattle gaining back ground and feeders roaring forward, David brings clear insight into what’s driving the rebound and what producers should be watching next. 


He covers:
 • Stronger bids and where cash cattle could land this week
 • Why thinner trade volumes add fuel to volatility
 • Break-even outlook as prices lift
 • Feeder calf momentum returning to near fall highs
 • Futures market swings — and how fast sentiment can shift
 • Cold-weather management tips to protect performance and intakes
 • What all this means heading into the holidays


“Catch the market on the right side, and you feel pretty good at the end of the week — miss it, and you’re probably reaching for a drink on Friday night.” 


Take a few minutes to stay grounded, stay informed, and stay ahead — even when the markets keep you guessing.


Stay tuned for what you need to know, from the people you know — timely insights to help Northeast Iowa and Southwest Wisconsin producers make confident marketing decisions.
