Frequently asked questions

HighLine has two ways in: the free weekly read, HighLine Insights, every Thursday, and the paid weekly, HighLine Insights Pro, every Tuesday. Bespoke advisory and executive education are by inbound conversation. The questions below cover what most readers ask before they subscribe or write.

Is HighLine Insights free?

Yes. HighLine Insights is the free weekly read. It lands every Thursday morning. Beef, pork, chicken, plus what the macro is doing to all three. Built for the buyer who needs the read before the noon meeting and a steadier hand for the week ahead. It stays free.

What is HighLine Insights Pro?

HighLine Insights Pro is the deeper weekly read, every Tuesday, starting June 23. It goes past what happened to the signals hidden in the data and how the week's moving parts connect: slaughter pace, the cutout, trade flows, weather, and the tariffs pulling on one another. Pro subscribers also read every quarterly special report 30 days before it goes public, starting with the Summer Report, and hold the key to the full paid archive. The free Thursday letter gives you the story. The Tuesday letter gives you the decision.

How much is HighLine Insights Pro?

$80 a month or $800 a year. The monthly price is $80 either way. The free Thursday newsletter is not changing and is not going behind a wall.

What is the difference between HighLine Insights and HighLine Insights Pro?

HighLine Insights is the free Thursday letter, the weekly Issues. HighLine Insights Pro is the paid Tuesday letter, the weekly Volumes, plus every quarterly special report 30 days early and the full paid archive. The free letter is the story. Pro is the decision.

Do you offer bespoke advisory or executive education?

Yes, by inbound conversation only. Bespoke advisory engagements and executive education programs are not on the homepage menu by design. Every engagement is shaped to the operator, the question, and the cycle. If your question is too specific for the newsletter and too recurring for a one-off project, write. The contact form goes straight to Michael.

How do advisory engagements work?

Most readers do not need a bespoke advisory engagement. They need a sharper read on the week. HighLine Insights covers that, free, every Thursday. HighLine Insights Pro goes deeper every Tuesday. Bespoke advisory and executive education sit outside that menu and start with an inbound conversation, not a service tier. If your question warrants a tailored engagement, we will tell you on the first call.

Is Michael a broker?

No. Michael does not broker, does not represent product, and does not take a position on either side of a trade. HighLine is a protein industry advisory firm. The work is the read. The product is the muscle memory you put next to your data.

Who reads HighLine?

Protein industry leaders. Buyers, sellers, category managers, supply chain heads, CFOs and presidents who own the number at the bottom of the page. Retail, foodservice, processors, growers, importers, exporters. People who have to make a call this week and want a steadier hand for the week ahead.

How do I subscribe?

For the free weekly, use the form on the homepage or at the bottom of any issue. For HighLine Insights Pro, go to the subscribe page and choose monthly or annual. The next issue is the next one you read.

Thursday morning. The read before the week's last calls.
