This week’s Weekly Grill podcast features Beef Central’s regular US-based columnist Steve Kay, publisher of US Cattle Buyers Weekly, on recent tariff developments between the US and major trading partners.
While the fast-moving nature of the topic means there’s been developments on a couple of points since this item was recorded, much of the general sentiment remains.Topics discussed include:
• President Trump’s delayed announcement of Tariffs
• What the tariffs could mean for Mexico and Canada… and repercussions for Australia
• How are US meat packers dealing with reduced supply?
• The prospect of Aussie feeder cattle going to the US?
• Any sign of the herd rebuilding?
• Carcase weights. Are they too big?
• More dry conditions forecast.
• Have US export numbers dropped?
• Predictions for 2025
The Weekly Grill is brought to readers and listeners by Rhinogard by Zoetis.
