IN today’s episode, host Kerry Lonergan sits down with regular market commentators Chris Howie and Matt Dalgleish from Ep3, to discuss the impact of recent rain on cattle supply, demand and price, and the prospects for beef heading towards 2027.
Matt Dalgleish and Chris Howie
The pair discuss the recent performance of store and slaughter cattle markets since October rain, export prospects for 2027 under the current tariff and quota regime, record and volatile lamb values, and growing feedlot expansion.
The conversation also examines export pressures — including Middle East disruption and a US sheep‑meat inquiry — biosecurity and weather uncertainty, and what these trends might mean for producers heading into 2027.
