    442: Market is High but Are Cattle Producers Actually Making Money? with Samantha Cozza-Wright

    Today on the Cattle USA Daily Podcast, Samantha Cozza-Wright is back to break down the latest cattle market trends and what they mean for producers’ bottom lines. While cattle prices have rebounded and beef demand remains strong, high diesel prices, feed costs, freight expenses and other economic pressures raise an important question: Are producers actually making money? Samantha discusses the factors influencing the market heading into the 2026 midterm elections, why tight beef supplies could continue supporting prices, and how a single packing plant closure could quickly change the outlook.

    438: Your Cattle Dewormer May Not Be Working Anymore with Dr. Leonor Sicalo Gianechini

    Parasite resistance is becoming a growing challenge for cattle producers, and the dewormers that once worked reliably may no longer be delivering the results you expect. In this episode, Lauren Moylan visits with Dr. Leonor Sicalo Gianechini about her research into cattle parasites, drug resistance and the future of parasite management. She explains how parasites develop resistance, why switching between products may not solve the problem, and how producers can determine which treatments are actually working on their operations.

Gastrointestinal parasites can reduce appetite, cause diarrhea and anemia, slow weight gains, and hurt overall cattle performance. Drug resistance develops through natural selection as resistant parasites survive treatment and pass those traits to future generations. Switching between dewormers in the same drug class may not solve resistance because products can share the same mechanism of action. Fecal egg count reduction testing helps producers evaluate treatment effectiveness, while additional testing can help identify which parasites are surviving treatment. Underdosing creates selection pressure that can encourage resistance, making accurate animal weights and appropriate dosing essential.

    Today on the Cattle USA Daily Podcast, Samantha Cozza-Wright returns to break down the latest cattle market trends and what producers should watch as the fall calf run gets underway. With strong calf prices, tight cattle supplies and beef demand holding up, there are plenty of reasons for optimism but how long can the market maintain its momentum?
