That is not what your source states.

Here's a direct quote from the source:

> Many factors including drought and cattle prices have contributed to that decline. And now the emergence of a pesky parasite in Mexico and the prospect of widespread tariffs may further reduce supply and raise prices.

The word "climate" is not mentioned in either articles.

What the sources say is that beef prices are soaring, and ranchers have an incentive to sell off their cattle now to capture those soaring profits instead of holding onto it for breeding.

Also from the article:

> Nelson said that recently the drought has eased — allowing pasture conditions to improve — and grain prices are down thanks to the drop in export demand for corn because of the tariffs. Those factors, combined with the high cattle prices might persuade more ranchers to keep their cows and breed them to expand the size of their herds.
