The cattle industry is facing a combination of high cattle prices, tight cattle supplies, and concerns over livestock diseases like screwworm.
Do you believe beef prices will continue rising over the next 2 years?
Why or why not?
Let's hear from producers, consumers, and industry professionals.
Would you rather have:
100 acres and 20 cows
OR
20 acres and a direct-to-consumer beef business?
Explain your answer.
100 acres and 20 cows, you can grow a direct-to-consumer beef business with the land and cows.
The New World Screwworm has now been confirmed in multiple cases in Texas and New Mexico, putting livestock producers across the country on alert. Officials are increasing monitoring, quarantines, and control efforts as concerns grow about potential impacts on cattle, sheep, goats, wildlife, and the broader livestock industry.

✅ Yes, current efforts are enough
