Cattle were high before Trump was president.

Only 3 more loooooooong years and then you can blame a different one that fiddles with commodities.

With any luck we will get a conservative president for the first time in my life.

At least we finally have a President that understands business. The US Gubmint is the biggest business in the world.

I appreciate his immigration policy and sinking cartel boats. He's far better than Kamala, he's not conservative though and he's currently on the warpath with the few Republicans that are which may actually turn out to be a good thing for Conservatives.

How can Trump affect the beef market?

paraphrasing Trump said "Beef prices are to high, were working on that, I think we have a deal"

I'm assuming/hoping he comes out Monday and clarifies his comments because right now the market is wondering what the heck is going on.

I am thinking prices in Iowa have been different than in Northern WI then. While higher over the past four years they have doubled in the past year plus. In puts over that time were high as well so the profit margin was still small. As I stated previously Trump is not the reason for high beef prices. Supply is low and not going to rebound quickly, drought, retirements, screw worm in mexico.

Trump has sure had an effect on the soybean market.

Good lord. $6 or $7 a pound for hamburger is getting a bit ridiculous.
