Episode Description from the Publisher

On today’s episode of the podcast, Lauren is joined once again by Samantha Cozza-Wright to break down last week’s volatile cattle market selloff and answer the question many producers are asking right now: Is the cattle market crashing? The conversation dives into feeder cattle volatility, the recent Cargill labor situation, drought-driven placements, cash cattle fundamentals, and why Samantha believes the cattle market still has strong long-term support despite recent fear and headline-driven trading. Lauren and Samantha also discuss consumer beef demand, cattle market resilience, New World Screwworm concerns, and what producers should realistically expect heading into summer.Connect with Samantha:Email - samantha@cattleusainsurance.com Phone - 785-940-5533Links:Nominate or request to be a guest - forms.gle/fRkvzRenh7mqkDXV7 CattleUSA Insurance - https://info.cattleusainsurance.com/l...⁠CattleUSA Website - https://www.cattleusa.com/Facebook -   / cattleusamedia  Instagram -   / cattleusa.media  Subscribe to our newsletter - https://www.cattleusa.shop/products/c...CattleUSA Media - https://www.cattleusamedia.com/Lauren’s Instagram -   / _laurenmoylan  Lauren’s Youtube -    / @showboatmediaco  The Next Generation Podcast Website - https://www.thenextgenag.com/Key Takeaways:Last week’s cattle market selloff was heavily influenced by fear and headlinesLabor disruptions at the Cargill Fort Morgan plant added pressure to the marketMany processing plants are still operating below full slaughter capacityFutures market volatility continues increasing as prices remain historicall
