IAS Market Talk | Cattle Market Update – February 18, 2026
Cattle markets are holding strong, but how long can the rally last?
In this week’s IAS Market Talk, Dave Rueber shares the latest beef market commentary for February 18, including:
• Limited negotiated trade and light local volume
• Southern markets trending higher than the North
• Pressure on packer margins
• Record-setting feeder cattle prices
• What grass season means for calf and yearling demand
• Cost of gain outlook and profitability considerations
Dave also opens with thoughts and prayers for wildfire victims impacting cow-calf and stocker operations in the Panhandle and western regions.
Feeder prices continue to set records, fed cattle are trending higher, and the board remains mixed. The big question now is sustainability and how long this strength can last.
Tune in for straight talk, local insight, and the information you need from people you know.
