376: Is the Cattle Market Finally Bottoming Out? with Samantha Cozza-Wright

After weeks of steep declines in both the feeder and live cattle markets, producers are asking some questions. In today's episode of the Cattle USA Daily Podcast, Lauren is joined by Samantha Cozza-Wright once again to break down the latest market rally, discuss whether this week's bounce signals a true turning point or simply a temporary pause, and examine the forces continuing to pressure the cattle complex. They dive into packer leverage, slowing chain speeds, weakening consumer demand, record beef imports, export opportunities, and what producers should be watching as the industry heads toward the fall marketing season.
