Abstract
Weather, cattle supplies, beef demand, prospects of herd expansion (or the lack thereof), and similar issues currently dominate many industry conversations. Some clarity and signals for the future may appear in the closely watched January Cattle report, released February 1. However, the future of the cattle industry can best be understood when considered against the backdrop of the unique beef cattle market situation that has developed.
