from Burnin’ Daylight · host Matt McKinley
Howdy there, I'm Matt McKinley and we're Burnin' Daylight. Today's Friggin' Farm & Ranch Report for June 9, 2026 covers: 🐛 NEW WORLD SCREWWORM — What's really happening in South and West Texas. What the quarantine zones and border closures mean for cattle and trade. Why DC handed screwworm preparedness to a meat-packing and export power broker instead of a parasite nerd or a working cow-calf rep. 📡 VIRTUAL FENCING & SOFT CONTROL — GPS collars, NRCS money, and conservation maps that might save you some fence posts while they quietly write a surveillance log of everywhere your cows ever walked. 📊 MARKETS: BOARD VS BARN — Cash cattle still out-muscling the futures. Sale barns paying up for the right kind of calves. Grains sliding. Diesel camped out around $5.35 as policy and war premium keep squeezing margins. 📅 ON THIS DAY — D-Day, the Bill of Rights, the Antiquities Act, Orwell's 1984, and the USS Liberty incident.
