They dig into the powerful economic ties between U.S. and Canadian beef markets, showing how trade impacts ranchers on both sides of the border. Jeff also warns about rising apathy among stock growers and explains how real change only happens when members stay active and engaged. Another major challenge is the loss of grazing acres, which is hurting cattle numbers, shrinking yields, and threatening the long-term health of the beef industry. To top it off, Jeff highlights Canada’s strict cattle movement restrictions, which make operating in the industry even more difficult.
