Friday's Cattle report confirmed two years of declines. This is the smallest beef cow herd in five years. Heifer retention was larger than expected but even so, likely another one or two years left of declining cow numbers.

Day 2 of some tomfoolery in the pre-open of the cattle.
I do feel good however about the conversation NCBA Marketing Committee had with CME. Market reg is watching and will hopefully do something. More important, proposed changes to pre-open are in the works!
