What began as a steady recovery has transformed into a generational expansion, marked by a relentless 16-month streak of production growth that has not been seen in more than a decade. As the industry looks toward the second half of 2026, the data suggests cow power is back in a big way, driven by a rare alignment of herd expansion, technological efficiency and regional shifts.
