IAS Market Talk with David Rueber – 10/8/25

In this week’s episode of IAS Market Talk, Beef Production Specialist Dave Rueber breaks down the latest fed and feeder cattle market shifts. From box beef values rebounding $6–$7 after last week’s low to feeder cattle futures hitting new contract highs, Dave unpacks the signals producers should keep on their radar. He also shares insight into cash trade around the $230 range, cost of gain expectations, and how changing weather and seasonal pressures could shape the fat cattle market in the weeks ahead.“It feels like we’ve put in that seasonal low and are seeing some good signs of life in both the live and feeder markets,” says Rueber. “When boxes start working higher and futures push to contract highs, it’s a reminder to stay alert and look for opportunities.”Stay tuned for timely insights that help Northeast Iowa and Southwest Wisconsin producers navigate market shifts with confidence.https://www.innovativeag.com/Make a real impact!
