As the calendar turns, the cattle market isn't hitting reset. Heavy cattle and familiar headlines are carrying 2025 themes straight into the new year. The big question now—can cash feeders hold into 2026? Heavyweights are expected to remain a factor, and on this week's Cattle Chatter, Scott Varilek with Kooima Kooima Varilek explains why January is historically a tough month for fat cattle sales. He also digs into tightening cattle numbers in Brazil, the upcoming Tyson plant closure in Lexington, Nebraska, and what it all means moving forward. Plus, thoughts on heifer retention as the holdback quietly gets underway.
