Industry notes cattle herd growth tied to high producer prices, while inflation remains the key factor shaping future beef supplies. Meanwhile Emil and Alvin Meyer of Lone Tree enter the national Polled Hereford show and sale in Atlanta December 11 to 13.

He notes soy exports could fall to near last year’s 997 million bushels, while grain exports lag on record supplies.
