IN THE NEWS
📈 Cull Cow Price Outlook
FJ
📈 Cull Cow Price Outlook - Cull cow prices may see upward pressure this year as tight cattle supplies and firm beef demand continue. That could mean better dollars for cows you’ve decided to market. For producers, watching how regional markets respond will be key to timing sales.
🦟 Screwworm Cases Near Border - New World screwworm cases have been detected closer to the Texas border in Mexico, though none have been found in the United States. Producers are being encouraged to stay alert and watch cattle closely for signs of infestation. Early detection and quick response can help protect herds if the threat moves north.
🐄 Pregnancy Loss Clues - Understanding pregnancy loss means watching when it happens and what might be causing it so you can make adjustments on your ranch. Nutrition, trace minerals and environmental stress all play a role in keeping pregnancies on track. Paying attention to patterns helps you improve herd fertility over time.
🐂 Bull Lease Costs 2026 - Leasing bulls for 2026 comes with a range of costs that reflect changing market conditions, genetics and availability. Understanding what’s typical helps producers budget and decide whether leasing or buying makes more sense this season. Knowing the expenses up front gives you confidence when planning your breeding program.
💉 Winter Vaccination Wins - Optimizing cow-calf vaccinations during winter sets your herd up for a stronger spring by helping protect against common health challenges. Getting shots timed right, paired with proper nutrition and handling, keeps immunity where it needs to be. Ranchers who plan their vaccination schedule now often see fewer setbacks once turnout begins.
