Past profits are not necessarily indicative of future results/profits.</a></p> <p>We walk through the week’s biggest cattle market drivers, from JBS plant closures to Iran-related macro moves that shift energy prices and market mood. Then we zoom into the on-the-ground fundamentals: screwworm surveillance, changing feedlot placements, record-slow marketings, and the risks that come with record-heavy carcass weights.&nbsp;<br>• JBS Pennsylvania closure and where slaughter cattle get rerouted&nbsp;<br>• Memphis value-added plant closure and what “value-added” really means&nbsp;<br>• Iran developments, crude oil reaction, and why cattle markets care&nbsp;<br>• New World screwworm case count, geography, and why the spread matters&nbsp;<br>• USDA response: surveillance, sterile flies, and limited movement restrictions&nbsp;<br>• No food safety risk and why that matters for consumer demand&nbsp;<br>• May feedlot placements outlook ahead of the Cattle on Feed report&nbsp;<br>• Drought signals, heifer decisions, and cattle moved earlier than normal&nbsp;<br>• Record-slow marketings and the shrinking window to manage weights&nbsp;<br>• Feedlot inventories above last year and what that implies for fed supplies&nbsp;<br>• Front-end supply over 180 days, summer heat, and death loss risk&nbsp;<br>I think it’s pretty important to tune in because I think we have unique things each week that we bring to the table.&nbsp;<br><br></p> <p>Tommy's Premium Subscription: <a href="http://www.agbull.com/" rel="nofollow">www.agbull.com</a></p> <p>AgBull Audio and Video Links</p> <p><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ag-bull/id1596548171" rel="nofollow">Apple Music</a></p> <p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/2BXdVJVVm2H7tUwCA9MzZK?si=Zt2H4s24QYKf7mFMsXrMoQ&amp;nd=1&amp;dlsi=01601a77d2ab4f3f" rel="nofollow">Spotify</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/@agbullmedia" rel="nofollow">YouTube</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@agbullmedia" rel="nofollow">TikTok</a></p> <p>Futures and options trading involve risk and are not suited for everyone.</p> <p><br><br></p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p>Futures Trading involves risk of loss and is not suitable for everyone.
