Feeder cattle markets are showing remarkable momentum in early 2026, with medium and large frame steers seeing nearly $9-11 jumps per hundredweight in just one week. The surge mirrors patterns last seen in 2011, suggesting a potentially strong start to the year for cattle producers. While futures took a slight breather after reaching October highs, market forecasts remain optimistic through January, pointing to sustained strength in the feeder segment.

In this mid-week market update, hosts Brock and Jim analyze the current state of cattle markets, including detailed price movements across weight classes and what recent futures activity means for producers. The discussion covers significant developments in global trade, particularly the new EU-Mercosur agreement and its potential ripple effects on U.S. beef exports.

The episode delves into critical feed cost implications following the latest WASDE report, which showed increased corn ending stocks and additional harvested acres. This bearish news for feed costs could provide welcome relief for feeders managing tight margins, though Brock and Jim emphasize the importance of careful risk management in the current environment.

Of particular concern is a developing biosecurity situation, with New World screwworm cases reported within 200 miles of the U.S.-Mexico border. Drawing from historical experience with similar outbreaks, the hosts provide practical guidance for producers on monitoring and protecting their herds, especially during calving season. The episode concludes with market forecasts and strategic considerations for producers navigating early 2026 market conditions.
