It is truly remarkable how steady beef demand has been, despite prices at grocery stores and restaurants reaching all-time highs. This is a relatively new phenomenon, because it wasn’t all that long ago that when beef became expensive relative to the other proteins, consumers would opt for chicken or pork. So what has changed? Why do today’s consumers prefer beef over the other meats, despite it’s higher price? The only possible explanation is that the consumer still sees value here, and that they really enjoy the dining experience. That experience is a direct reflection on the work that producers have done. As an industry, we have become better at raising cattle, producing a better animal in a more uniform herd, which gives the consumer a better, more consistent experience. It is certainly a good time to be in the cow/calf segment of the industry… and there are no signs that things will slow down any time soon. Forecasted prices for calves and feeders in 2026 have been recently revised higher. It also sounds like the southern border will remain closed to cattle from Mexico for the time being, which further tightens the feeder supply. Everything is heading in the right direction. But let’s not lose sight of how we, as an industry, got here. We’re here because we have been doing things the right way, and by making smart genetic selections. And when it comes to being smart and working hard, there are no shortcuts. We are grateful that you have chosen us to be your genetics supplier, and for your confidence in our program. Welcome to the Ranch.
