“In 2015, when the market fell—it took 6 months, and it was in half. That’s why you need a game plan now: figure out your breakeven, how you’ll market your calves, and what sets you apart. Late July is usually the best time to sell.” Karoline Rose-Bohannan
 
Karoline breaks down the latest in the cattle market—from the Mexico import ban and screw worm concerns, to what the April cattle market report predicts. She shares insights on beef demand, bull longevity, and the rise in heifer retention. 
 
In this episode we cover: 

What the Mexico cattle import ban really means for the U.S. cattle industry
The impact of the screw worm and the sterilization efforts underway
Shifting trends in bull longevity and why it might be time to adapt
Observations around bred heifers and fall cattle expectations
