Ep 244: 2026 Weather Outlook w/ Don Day

What will 2026 bring — and how much hinges on the timing of El Niño? Meteorologist Don Day joins us for our Extended Weather Outlook as we look at the remainder of winter, the setup for spring moisture, and what a building — but potentially “Goldilocks” — El Niño could mean for summer grass, storm tracks, and monsoon development. From snowpack concerns to regional precipitation trends, we walk through what producers across the country should be watching in the months ahead. Plus, technology that promises to change how cow-calf producers measure feed intake, reproductive efficiency, and stocking rate decisions — all through a wearable device delivering real-time data. Then, the Captain shares an update on U.S. beef exports — why China remains the wildcard in global demand, and how market access could influence price strength moving forward. #WorkingRanchRadio #WorkingRanchMagazine #AgPodcast #Ranching #RanchLife #CowCalf #BeefCattle #CattleManagement #RanchProfitability #RanchEconomics #AgWeather #Weather #ElNino #Monsoon #ForageManagement #CattleCon #CattleTechnology #PrecisionAg #BeefExports #ChinaMarket #RuralAmerica #DayWeather
