CattleFax Industry Overview — Randy Blach at NCBA 2015

In this 1-minute highlight from the 2015 NCBA Convention, CattleFax CEO Randy Blach provides a concise snapshot of beef industry trends, market conditions, and producer opportunities.

In this short industry overview, Randy Blach, CEO of CattleFax, distills key insights on the state of the U.S. cattle and beef markets. Speaking to producers at the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) Convention, he emphasizes how shifts in supply, demand, and trade were shaping prices and profitability at the time.

Randy highlights the cyclical nature of the cattle market noting how herd rebuilding, feed costs, and consumer demand interact to influence producer margins. He stresses the importance of data-driven decision-making, urging ranchers and industry professionals to plan proactively rather than reactively in response to volatility.

Throughout the clip, Blach’s tone is pragmatic and optimistic, reinforcing that the future of the beef industry depends on innovation, discipline, and adaptability. He concludes with a call for producers to stay informed, use market intelligence, and make strategic choices that align with long-term sustainability.

In this 10-minute edition of The Angus Report, CattleFax CEO Randy Blach joins the conversation to discuss market outlook, beef demand, and the evolving dynamics shaping the U.S. cattle industry.

In this feature segment from The Angus Report, Randy Blach, CEO of CattleFax, provides an in-depth look at the factors influencing cattle and beef markets heading into 2018. The discussion centers on market cycles, global trade, and domestic demand, with Blach offering practical insights for producers and agri-business leaders navigating shifting economic conditions.

Randy emphasizes that consumer trust and beef quality remain key competitive advantages for U.S. producers.

Throughout the segment, Blach underscores the value of long-term perspective — encouraging producers to focus on operational efficiency, risk management, and margin optimization rather than reacting to short-term price swings.
