Matt Arendt got his start in the cattle business as a teenager working on a cow-calf operation in Southern California. Matt learned of his love for the markets and the marketing business while working for the local sale barn during breaks in school and in the summer. After graduating high school, he attended Oklahoma State University and received a double major in Animal Science and Ag-Business while also competing on the rodeo team there. Upon graduation and in the first 4 years of his career, Matt has worked for both a regional packer and multinational packer, both stints in cattle procurement.

Matt’s passion is educating those in the business on weekly happenings in the markets and helping them apply that information on their individual operations.
