Cattle are holding—but the pressure underneath is building faster than most people realize.

In today’s Boots & Bushels, we break down the real risk developing inside the cattle market right now. From growing screwworm concerns near the Texas border to tightening margins and an active weather pattern, multiple pressure points are stacking at the same time.

At the same time, grains are split, energy just made a major move lower, and global risk is shifting again.

We walk through:

* What a potential screwworm outbreak could mean for cattle movement and markets
* Why feeder cattle weakness matters more than price strength
* How weather this week could disrupt planting and early crop progress
* What falling crude oil prices mean for farm margins
* And where the real pressure is building next across ag markets

This isn’t just about today’s prices—this is about what could move the market next.
