Cost for WHAT.?
Supplemental feed, fertilizer if you're running enhanced pastures, other various chemicals to keep pastures working (cedar remediation is a BFD where we are), trucking costs, medicine for the herd, capex for drilling more water wells to try to fight off the drought, insurance, property taxes, etc. All of those have gone up steadily YoY.

I imagine the BF is either FOS or running a little hobby ranch on a couple hundred acres. No one running anything north of 20 head would make a statement that herd capacity is healthy and costs are fine.

trump chosing their beef over USA beef?
The US herd size is down, US beef production is down and our beef prices are up much more than other meat products. Nothing wrong with getting beef elsewhere while ranchers focus on building the herd back up.

The mental gymnastics to believe a yankee billionaire knows more about the cattle business than actual cattlemen.

Reduced cattle numbers and little signs of increased herd size until last
half of 2025 at the earliest
• Current projections put year-over-year calf prices at roughly 8 percent
higher in 2025 (Cull cow prices up roughly 7 percent)
• Based on USDA projections, prices in 2025:
• Calf prices (500 – 600 lb steers) - $2.80 - $2.90
• Cull Cows - $1.15 - $1.25
• Beyond 2025, prices should remain strong
• Lower feed and input costs should support feeder cattle prices and support
cow/calf profitability
• Unexpected market shocks look to be the only thing could impact current
positive view of cattle prices and cattle market

So if anyone supports Trump = sheep.
Can't the same be same for you? Anyone with as much hate as you have for Trump is also part of the TDS herd.

Weird, they are going against the prevailing opinion of most ranchers. I suspect they are cultists.

The downturn stems from limited access to China. In March, registrations expired for most U.S. beef plants and cold storage facilities. Since June, China has also suspended 11 additional plants.
As a result, July exports to China collapsed 92% to just 1,110 mt. Value fell even further, dropping 94% to under $8 million. For the first seven months of 2025, shipments to China slid 46% in volume and 47% in value.

Droughts, inflation and policy shifts have squeezed ranchers, who warn of a "national security threat" to food sovereignty.

Blindly, absolutely and they deserve ridicule.
Avoiding objective facts is the first clue.

Taken as a sole data point you'e right. And i wouldn't say they're lowered but have stabilized and projections say they're coming down.
But lets talk about why even lowered prices will not have a near term impact. Herds are younger than ever because of many reasons but mostly because of suppressed breeding caused by droughts in maybe of the high volume states in the early 2020s. Younger heards means you have to feed them longer and that increases costs.
So, even if prices come down drastically and nothing bad happens environmentally, we're 2ish years from being back to a normal cycle.
