Sorting Pen: The California Cattleman Podcast
Season 6, Episode 15
Erin Borror, Vice President of Economic Analysis for the U.S. Meat Export Federation, joins Sorting Pen to discuss the global beef market.
Erin, who also raises purebred and commercial cattle with her husband and sons at Tehama Angus Ranch in Northern California, shares the newest export numbers, why international markets remain critical even as U.S. beef production declines, and what the future could hold for U.S. beef in an increasingly competitive marketplace.
Katie and Erin also discuss what the eventual reopening of the Mexico border could mean for U.S. cattle supplies, competition from countries like Brazil and Mexico, beef access to China, opportunities through new trade agreements, and other USMEF efforts.
