The median time a property spends on the market is 74 days. While that might sound standard, it actually represents a significant 33.93% drop in days on market from last month. Homes are getting snapped up much faster than they were just weeks ago!

Happy Father's Day y'all.

"When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years." โ€” Mark Twain

The 2025 calf crop came in at 32.9 million head โ€” a record low, and the second consecutive year that record has been broken. With fewer beef cows and a shrinking calf crop, the pipeline for future beef production is tighter than it's been in generations. USDA economists project that any meaningful expansion of the U.S. cattle herd won't happen before 2028, meaning elevated beef prices are locked in for the next several years regardless of what politicians promise.

Even if ranchers start retaining more heifers for breeding today โ€” which many can't afford to do โ€” those animals won't produce a calf until 2027, and that calf won't reach market weight until 2028 or later. The cattle cycle is biology, not a policy lever. No amount of import announcements or political pressure changes the fact that it takes years to rebuild a herd. Americans need to understand this isn't a price-gouging story. It's a supply story. And the supply problem was decades in the making.
