An article from the Wyoming Livestock Roundup argues that with stable domestic beef demand, any herd expansion would oversupply the U.S. market. It says ranchers and feedlots may need verification programs to meet export requirements.
Expected herd growth with flat domestic demand is bearish for cattle prices unless export access expands, which depends on verification programs.
