2016 Beef Cattle Situation • Transition to larger beef supplies in 2016 has been challenging • Cow-calf: Converging toward long-term levels • Herd expansion slowed, stalled, or stopped? • Stocker: Varies widely across situations • Opportunities vs. risk of owning cattle and managing risk • Feedlot: Worst behind us (I think), still red ink • Structural concerns—excess capacity, price discovery, etc.

2016 Pork Situation • Processing capacity squeeze. 1998 Déjà vu??? • Demand is always an important driver. But we first need to understand supply dynamics. • Lower hog and pig prices have likely raised the red flag on further expansion, at least for now. • Longer-term additional expansion is quite possible • Low feed grain prices, packer competition • Revisions to H&P report complicate analysis
