Trump beef prices 2025, Argentina beef imports, and U.S. cattle market news are dominating the news— and this deep-dive episode digs into all of it.
President Donald Trump just said he’ll “work with Argentina to fix U.S. beef prices.” But will that lower prices, lower grocery bills — or sacrifice American ranchers? In this powerful episode of the Dust’er Mud Podcast, Rich & Shelley McGlamory unpack the record-high beef prices, the shrinking U.S. herd (86.7 million head – lowest since 1951), and the politics behind importing foreign beef.

America can feed America — fix the structure, don’t import the fix.

Inside the episode:
• Intro – Trump’s “Beef Price Fix?” announcement and why it matters now
• Segment 1 – The Market Today: what record prices mean for consumers ($6–$8/lb beef)
• Segment 2 – How We Got Here: drought, feed costs, and the Tyson/Cargill price-fixing settlement ($87.5 M)
• Segment 3 – Market Motion: explaining CME feeder cattle moves without the Wall Street jargon
• Segment 4 – Argentina Import Plan: short-term band-aid vs long-term damage
• Sidebar – Brazilian Beef: tariff cuts?
• Segment 5 – Solutions: break up Big 4 packers, help to keep heifers, subsidize US beef
• Segment 6 – Reality for our farm & Call to Action
