Ep 251: Keeping Ranchers on the Land: The Mission of the Noble Research Institute w/ Steven Rhines

Today we take a closer look at the mission behind the Noble Research Institute and what it means for the future of ranching in the United States. Steven Rhines, CEO and President of the Noble Research Institute, joins us to share the history of the organization, the vision that shaped it in the 1940s, and how that work continues today through a focus on soil health, grazing management, and keeping ranchers on the land. We discuss the challenges facing U.S. grazing lands, the loss of producers, and why the conversation has shifted from growth to preservation. Then, we break down four key deworming concepts designed to slow resistance and improve the effectiveness of your parasite control program—practical strategies every producer should be thinking about with Dr. Jody Wade (Boehringer Ingelheim). #workingranchmagazine #WorkingRanchRadio #ranchlife #ranching #beef #cattle #livestock #cowcalf #cattlemanagement #ranchprofitability #grazingmanagement #soilhealth #landstewardship #foragemanagement #ranchers #parasitecontrol #cattlehealth #deworming #Neogen #FlyControl #Altosid #Cargill #NoFence #CLS

Ep 250: Eminent Domain: What Landowners Need to Know w/ Tiffany Dowell Lashmet

Today we take a closer look at Eminent Domain and what it means for landowners. Tiffany Dowell Lashmet, agricultural law specialist with Texas A&M University, joins us to walk through the basics of eminent domain, where the authority comes from, some of the common truths and misconceptions, and the practical steps landowners should—and shouldn’t—take if they find themselves facing it. Plus, as we head into fly season, we shift gears to a challenge every producer deals with—horn flies. How much are they really costing your operation, and why does timing matter when it comes to control? We look at the economic impact and how to stay ahead of the problem before it shows up. #AltosidIGR #CentralLifeSciences #WorkingRanchRadio #ranching #cattle #beef #AgPodcast #EminentDomain #PropertyRights #AgLaw #FlyControl #HornFlies #CattleHealth

Ep 249: Making Kentucky 31 Fescue Work—and What It Teaches About Grazing Management w/ Dr. Harley Naumann

Kentucky 31 fescue—for some it’s tolerated, for others it’s hated. This week, Dr. Harley Naumann with the University of Missouri joins us to talk about how to manage Kentucky 31 fescue and make it work in a year-round grazing system. From avoiding toxicity to stocking rate, forage diversity, and matching cattle to available feed, the focus is on building a system that works—not just for ranchers in the fescue belt, but for operations everywhere. Plus, we look at the latest data on preconditioning calves and where it’s adding value in today’s market. #workingranchmagazine #WorkingRanchRadio #ranching #cattle #cowcalf #foragemanagement #ranchprofitability #grazingmanagement #rotationalgrazing #pasturemanagement #fescue #kentucky31 #stockingrate #foragediversity #preconditioning #cattlehealth #Cargill #Altosid #PrimeVac #Limousin #NoFence #TankToad #Gelbvieh

Ep 248: Does Grazing Under Pivots Pencil? w/ Race King

What does it look like to shift irrigated pivot ground from crop production to grazing livestock? On today’s episode, Race King with the Matador Ranch joins us to share how their operation approached that transition. With over 20 years of experience, we discuss what led them to explore grazing under pivots, the steps they took to implement it, and the results they’ve seen over time. From labor and infrastructure to soil health and long-term economics, we explore whether this approach can work in other parts of the country—and how it performs across different market conditions. Plus, we take a look at a different approach to fly control using a bolus-based delivery system that provides up to 195 days of coverage—reducing reliance on mineral intake and/or tags. #workingranchmagazine #WorkingRanchRadio #ranchlife #ranching #cattle #livestock #beef #cowcalf #cattlemanagement #foragemanagement #ranchprofitability #agriculture #agpodcast #pivotirrigation #grazingmanagement #soilhealth #regenerativeag #rotationalgrazing #stockercattle #flycontrol #cattlehealth #Limousin #Neogen #TankToad #NoFence #Gelbvieh

Ep 247: Transitioning from Crops to Cattle w/ Troy Hadrick

What do you do when farming no longer pencils out? Today, South Dakota rancher Troy Hadrick (Hadrick Ranch) joins us to talk about transitioning from dryland crop farming to a cattle-focused operation. We discuss what drove that shift, how direct-to-consumer beef sales created new opportunity, and what it really takes—from water and infrastructure to working with the right partners—to make a transition like this work on the ground. Plus, we look at the new pheromone-based product called, CattleZen, designed to help reduce stress in calves during key management periods. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #cattle #beef #livestock #WorkingRanchRadio #AgPodcast #CowCalf #BeefProduction #RanchProfitability #CattleManagement #DirectToConsumer #DirectBeef #RegenerativeAg #GrassToCattle #RanchTransition #CattleHealth #CattleZen #LowStressHandling

Ep 246: Why Calves Crash Three Weeks After Weaning or a Stress Event w/ Dr. Blaine Ellison

Why do calves often crash about three weeks after weaning or shipping? Today Dr. Blaine Ellison of Applied Bio Technologies, Inc joins us to explain the 21-day cortisol surge in cattle — a stress response that can suppress immune function, shut down weight gain, and increase sickness risk. In this episode we discuss: • Why cattle often stall out during the first 21–28 days after stress • The evolutionary biology behind the cortisol surge • How the immune system shifts metabolism during stress • Management decisions that may unintentionally make the problem worse • What producers might consider doing differently to reduce stress and improve performance Understanding what happens during this critical window could help producers improve health outcomes, performance, and profitability across the industry. #workingranchmagazine #WorkingRanchRadio #ranchlife #ranching #cattle #livestock #beef #BeefCattle #CowCalf #CattleManagement #CattleHealth #BeefProduction #RanchProfitability #Ranchers #AgPodcast #RuralAmerica #CattleHealth #AnimalHealth #BRD #CattleStress #FeedlotManagement #Preconditioning #Stockmanship #LivestockManagement

Ep 245: How Artificial Intelligence is Changing Embryo Transfer w/ Cara Wells & Jarred Wareham

Embryo transfer has long promised accelerated genetic progress, but with pregnancy rates sitting around 42%, producers are forced to ask hard questions about cost, risk, and return on investment. In this episode Cara Wells, founder and CEO of Emgenisys, shares how artificial intelligence is being used to analyze embryo viability before transfer. By capturing a brief video through a microscope and applying machine learning, embryologists can now receive a pregnancy probability score — helping improve decision-making, increase pregnancy rates, and better utilize valuable recipient females. Ag Tech Strategist Jarred Wareham explains why this may be one of the first truly practical applications of AI in the cattle industry — and how it could reshape embryo transfer programs for both registered and commercial producers. Later in the show, Terrell Miller of CattleMax joins us to discuss herd management software, record keeping, and why organizing your cattle data may be just as important as improving the genetics behind your herd.

Ep 244: 2026 Weather Outlook w/ Don Day

What will 2026 bring — and how much hinges on the timing of El Niño? Meteorologist Don Day joins us for our Extended Weather Outlook as we look at the remainder of winter, the setup for spring moisture, and what a building — but potentially “Goldilocks” — El Niño could mean for summer grass, storm tracks, and monsoon development. From snowpack concerns to regional precipitation trends, we walk through what producers across the country should be watching in the months ahead. Plus, technology that promises to change how cow-calf producers measure feed intake, reproductive efficiency, and stocking rate decisions — all through a wearable device delivering real-time data. Then, the Captain shares an update on U.S. beef exports — why China remains the wildcard in global demand, and how market access could influence price strength moving forward. #WorkingRanchRadio #WorkingRanchMagazine #AgPodcast #Ranching #RanchLife #CowCalf #BeefCattle #CattleManagement #RanchProfitability #RanchEconomics #AgWeather #Weather #ElNino #Monsoon #ForageManagement #CattleCon #CattleTechnology #PrecisionAg #BeefExports #ChinaMarket #RuralAmerica #DayWeather

Ep 243: 2026 Cattle Market Outlook w/ Clint Berry

Clint Berry (Superior Livestock) joins us for our annual Cattle Market Outlook following the latest projections presented at Cattle Industry Convention by CattleFax. As we head into 2026, we evaluate where we are in the cattle cycle — have we truly stopped liquidation, or simply slowed it? We discuss heifer retention trends and projected prices across the board, including fed steers, 550-weight calves, cull cows, bred females, and the strengthening bull market. We also examine the impact of the Mexico border closure on supply and industry infrastructure, along with the strong consumer demand that continues to support beef prices despite historically tight cattle numbers. If you’re a cow-calf producer, stocker operator, cattle feeder, or anyone involved in the beef industry, this episode provides perspective to help you think through risk, opportunity, and profitability heading into 2026. #WorkingRanchRadio #WorkingRanchMagazine #CattleMarket #CattleOutlook #CattlePrices #CattleCycle #FedCattle #FeederCattle #CullCows #BredCows #BullMarket #BeefDemand #CowCalf #RanchEconomics #AgPodcast

Ep 242: Are Big Cows Paying Their Way? w/ Dr. Kenny Burdine

This week we’re joined by University of Kentucky livestock economist Dr. Kenny Burdine for a timely conversation that starts with cow size and weaning weights — and quickly moves into the bigger picture of efficiency, consistency, and profitability in the cow-calf business. We discuss how mature cow size ties back to real costs, why consistency in the calf crop matters more than many producers realize, and how marketing dynamics like lot size can add — or leave — money on the table. We’ll also take a look at current market signals, herd retention, competing meats, and what ranchers should be thinking about as we head into 2026. Plus a discussion with Jeremy Martin & Chrisman of Stockmen's Source Bull Sale. #WorkingRanchRadio #RanchProfitability #CattleManagement #BeefCattle #Ranching

Ep 241: When Emotion Meets Discipline in the Cow Herd w/ John Maddux

Today we sit down with Nebraska rancher John Maddux of Maddux Cattle Company to talk about business decisions that often matter most — and are sometimes the hardest to make. John shares how a disciplined financial mindset has shaped their operation over generations, including how they evaluate cows as assets, balance emotion with economics, and make long-term decisions designed to keep the ranch viable. We also dig into replacement strategy, heifer development, and how managing appreciation and depreciation in the cow herd plays into overall profitability. It’s a thoughtful conversation on ranch management, financial focus, and what it takes to build an operation that lasts. Plus we'll talk about their upcoming "Maternalizer" Mature Bred Cow Herd Dispersal Sale. Then, a visit with Ted Perry (Purina) about how we need to evaluate our mineral program throughout the year. #WorkingRanchRadio #workingranchmagazine #ranching #ranchlife #CattleManagement #RanchProfitability

Ep 240: Are Your Replacement Genetics Holding Your Herd’s Profitability Hostage w/ Jared Boardman

Are we leaving money on the table with our breeding decisions? This week Wyoming rancher Jared Boardman (Wishbone Simmental) joins us for a business-minded conversation on cattle genetics and breeding decisions in today’s market. We step back and take a hard look at how many commercial producers select genetics based on the small percentage of replacement heifers they keep each year, while the majority of the calf crop is sold. Jared explains why that approach can leave money on the table and how thinking in terms of output, inputs, and profit can reshape breeding strategies. We also discuss terminal versus maternal focus, the technologies available in the industry that provide producers with more options, and how disciplined decision-making can help align genetics with how cattle operations actually make money. Also, a conversation with Dan Leo (Apex Cattle) on Heterosis and their upcoming Production Sale. #WorkingRanchRadio #WorkingRanchMagazine #Ranching #RanchLife #Cattle #BeefCattle #CowCalf #CattleManagement #CattleGenetics #BeefProduction #RanchProfitability #RanchEconomics #Cattlemen #Limousin #Gelbvieh #CalfCatcher #Ambrook #Schaff #SAV #Livestock #AgPodcast #Heterosis #APEX

Ep 239: 2026 @ the Ranch Level — Markets, Expansion, and Capital w/ Jared Wareham

We kick off 2026 with a forward-looking conversation on where the cattle industry is headed and how ranchers can position themselves for the year ahead. My guest is Jared Wareham, (website: Horizon Venture Management) a beef industry, ag-tech consultant and Southern Colorado rancher. We discuss cattle markets, herd rebuilding, cost of capital, and what may be holding expansion back — without simply rehashing the same talking points. Instead, we focus on the factors influencing real-world decisions at the ranch level and how we, as producers, can think about managing risk, operations, and long-term profitability as we plan for 2026. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #Neogen #IngentyBeef #TankToad #WorkingRanchRadio #BeefCattle #CowCalf #CattleManagement #RanchProfitability #RanchEconomics #HerdRebuilding #CattleMarkets #CostOfCapital

Ep 236: Cutting Through the Noise w/ Allan Crockett

As we start to wrap up the year, business coach and author Allan Crockett joins us to talk through something every producer is facing right now: noise. Whether it’s politics, market swings, social media, or industry in-fighting, it’s easy to get overwhelmed and drift off center. Allan breaks down how to separate what we can control from what we can’t, how our mindset and daily habits shape our decisions, and why unprocessed fear is often at the root of negativity. Together we look at practical ways to reset, think clearly, and step into 2026 with intention and focus.

Ep 233: Squint Real Hard… and You Might See a Rebuild w Lance Zimmerman

The conversation around herd rebuilding has been brewing all year — but is it actually happening? Senior Beef Industry Analyst Lance Zimmerman with Rabo Research (Rabobank) joins me to break down what the data really says about heifer retention and the pace of this rebuild. We’ll look at how recent market disruptions and global trade chatter have shaped producer confidence, what the numbers reveal about the strength of the cow herd, and how long this upcycle could last. Then, we’ll wrap with a bit of Mark Twain wisdom that reminds us to stay humble and intentional as we plan for the future — in both our markets and our ranches. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #Allflex #Neogen #IngentyBeef #TankToad #WorkingRanchRadio #BeefCattle #CowCalf #CattleManagement #Cattlemen #Livestock #BeefProduction #RanchProfitability #RanchEconomics #CattleHealth #Ranchers #AgPodcast #RuralAmerica #HeiferRetention #HerdRebuilding #BeefMarkets #CowHerdExpansion #LanceZimmerman #RaboResearch

Ep 232: Revisiting the Four Big Cattle Market Questions w Dr. Kenny Burdine

Earlier this year, Dr. Kenny Burdine from the University of Kentucky joined us to outline four key cattle-market questions for 2025. Now, as we close out the year, we circle back to see what’s been answered — from heifer retention and slaughter weights to competing proteins, trade, and tariffs. Then we shift gears to a question every rancher faces: whether to buy replacements or develop your own. Dr. Burdine walks us through the economics behind that decision and why using today’s strong market wisely can set the stage for the next decade of ranch profitability. Later, Dr. Elizabeth Backes-Belew (Purina Animal Nutrition) discuss with us tips for rebreeding success and setting cows up for their next calf crop.

Ep 231: Markets, Mandates, and Mortality w/ Dr. Nevil Speer

From cattle expansion to succession planning and the future of the beef business — this week we dig into the big picture of where our industry stands. Industry consultant Dr. Nevil Speer is our guest as we discuss what current cow numbers are telling us, why some producers may be choosing to retire, and how a lack of succession planning continues to erode family ranches across the country. And in the midst of it all, Speer reminds us why there’s still plenty of reason for optimism — and why there’s never been a better time to be in the cattle business. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #Allflex #Neogen #IngentyBeef #TankToad #WorkingRanchRadio #BeefCattle #CowCalf #RanchEconomics #RanchProfitability #CattleManagement #SuccessionPlanning #EstatePlanning #CattleMarket #BeefIndustry #DrNevilSpeer #AgPodcast #RuralAmerica

Ep 230: Rethinking Your Calving Window

When’s the right time to calve — and what’s it really costing you? Dr. Bob Larson with Kansas State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine joins us to talk through five key questions every rancher should ask when setting their calving window. From matching forage and labor to feed efficiency, to tightening up that calving period and improving breed-up rates — we dig into how timing affects everything from profitability to cow performance. Because in the end, it’s not just about raising calves… it’s about managing cows, costs, and profitability. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #Allflex #Neogen #IngentyBeef #TankToad #WorkingRanchRadio #BeefCattle #CowCalf #CalvingSeason #CattleManagement #Cattlemen #Livestock #BeefProduction #ForageManagement #RanchProfitability #DrBobLarson #KansasStateUniversity #RanchEconomics #CattleHealth #Ranchers #AgPodcast #RuralAmerica

Ep 229: A Legal Perspective on Estate Planning

Estate Planning... a big issue our family ranches must deal with but often avoided or do it incorrectly in trying to save money. This only creates bigger problems after Mom and Dad have passed. Attorney Dal Houston joins us today as we discuss topics like trusts versus a will. The difference between a revocable trust and an irrevocable trust, practical information on LLC’s, plus much more. You might be thinking this is a show Mom and Dad need to listen to, but if you ranch in any way, shape, or size, no matter your age… I’d advise you to listen in. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #Allflex #Neogen #IngentyBeef #Gelbvieh #TankToad #WorkingRanchRadio #estateplanning #ranchfamilies

Ep 222: The Future of the Fair: Why County and State Fairs Are at a Crossroads

State and county fairs have long been a bridge between rural and urban. But as our society drifts further from production agriculture, that bridge is under pressure — financially, culturally, and politically. From rising costs to volunteer burnout, lack of participation to being a political football… So how do we refocus? How do we, in the ag industry, protect these events that tell our story. Today, Jeremy Parsons from the Iowa State Fair and Taylor Pulfer with the State Fair of Texas join me as we discuss… What’s the future of our county and state fair?

The cattle market is at an all-time high which probably means for most of us we are seeing a pretty healthy profit this year. So, the question is, how should we strategically use the profit? Dallas Mount (Ranch Management Consultants) returns as we work through this question… starting first at debt.

Ep 215: From Ranch Management to Extended Summer Weather Outlook

Today on the Working Ranch Radio Show we are covering three things. First Dr. Rick Machen with the King Ranch Institute for Ranch Management joins us as we discuss some exciting modifications they’ve made to their Master’s Program in Ranch Management… especially for those current college students that will be getting an undergraduate degree with aspirations of a Master’s Degree in Ranch Management. Plus they have a Wildlife Management Seminar coming up in August for those interested in adding that type of enterprise to your operation. And while I have Rick on the line, I want to get his take on the Mexican Screw Worm situation. Then Meteorologist Don Day will join us as we take the second half of the show to get his extended weather outlook for the summer as we go region by region across the country. And finally, we haven’t heard from the Captain in a while, the Captain Tim O’Byrne drops in for a T2¢. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #screwworm #KRIRM #T2¢

Ep 214: Common Ground Summit: Real Dialogue or PR Play?

The Common Ground Summit… a meeting of 40 people across the country. These 40 represented various segments of the cattle industry. These 40 were comprised of what some might say would be small non-influential family operations to large influential registered operations, family feed yards, or sale barn owners. If these 40 where a herd of cows… the term Heinz 57 comes to mind. But their purpose was simple. Find common ground and unanimous consent on some industry issues in hopes of starting the ball rolling. The group came up with 6 issues that they all unanimously agreed on. So today, Renee Carrico and Joe Fischer… two of the participants join me as we discuss how the meeting went, how did they come to the list of six agreed upon issues, what about the big topics that have divided the industry, and was this just a onetime feel could kumbaya moment. Sure, there are some big topics that I hope will eventually be addressed, however in the meantime, and I don’t know about you, but I’ve become sick and tired of the continued divisiveness in the industry, the ego’s, the fear mongering, and attitudes of “my way or no way”. No matter your view on the outcome of this meeting… today’s show is for you. If you good with outcome of the meeting and what you perceive it doing for the industry… listen in. If you’re frustrated because you think the meeting was phony and didn’t address the issues you thought were important, then this show is for you as well. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #k-line #foodsecurity #unify #advocacy #collaboration #pathforward

Ep 213: Bovine Congestive Heart Failure… Are We Overlooking It’s Impacts?

Bovine Congestive Heart Failure. For me I’ve always assumed it was the same as High Altitude Disease or Brisket Disease, but in our cattle industry today where we see a push for performance and high growth, we are seeing it manifest itself at a point in time that is extremely costly to the feeder... right before slaughter. Dr. Kirk Ramsey and Dr. Paige Pratte with Neogen join me today as we discuss the concern of Bovine Congestive Heart Failure in our cattle industry. What is it. Where are we seeing it? And what do cow/calf producers need to understand about its applicability to your operation as well as the heritability of that trait in your herd. So, it leads us down the road of utilizing our DNA testing ability to know where our herd is at, but it not just to add another input cost the buyers are wanting the information as well. Bovine Congestive Heart Failure. Are we overlooking its impact to our herd… to our industry… while a solution is this available right there in that DNA sample. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #productivity #carcussweights #igenitybeef #DNA #BCHF #PAP #superiorlivestock #cattlefeeders #cow/calf

Ep 212: Maude Family: Charges Dropped. What’s Next and Why Did It Ever Get That Far?

The story of the Maude Family in Western South Dakota took center stage this past week as criminal charges against Charles and Heather Maude were dropped over a land issue in what many are saying was a rogue US Forest Service agent bringing charges of land theft over 25 acres of ground that have been fenced into the deeded ground for over 70 years. Today, Rachel Gabel, spokesperson for the Maude Family, returns as our guest as we talk about what’s happened in the past 14 months. Why was it falling on deaf ears in the previous administration, what’s next for Charles and Heather Maude and how do we view this situation as an industry moving forward. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #K-Line #purina #flycontrol #USDA

Ep 211: Are You Satisfied with Your Quality of Life w/ Allan Crockett

On a scale of 1-10 how would you rate your Quality of Life (QOL) right now? Today Allan Crockett returns as our guest as we rip the band aid off the question that may be bouncing off the walls of your mind, "Is this the Quality of Life that I want going forward? We take a three-leg'd approach as we start with looking at how we can generate "Time and Money" in one area of a QOL, then we discuss "Relationships" as a second leg and is our dedication to the business a higher priority than our relationships, and we end on "Purpose". If you're lying on your death bed, are you going to be happy with how you fulfilled your purpose in life? So again, I ask, how would you rate your quality of life? Do you have all the time and money you need, are your relationship healthy, and are you fulfilling your purpose in Life? If it’s all good, no need to listen on, but if one or more of those three areas are lacking… then listen in! #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #cowpunchercoffee #productivity #happyranching #legacy #parasite #Norbrook #Tauramox

Ep 210: Virtual Fencing – Can the Ends Justify The Means?

Virtual Fencing. It’s a topic that spurs intrigue for many of us, but often from a distance. Whether it’s the newness of the technology or the cost to implement. Today Matt Vermeesch with Nofence, joins as we explore the technology as a whole. Additionally, we’ll hear from Idaho rancher Tyson Coles with his perspective as a user. So, what are the factors to contemplate when considering an investment in virtual fencing? It’s truly an emerging technology that has very practical usefulness to a rancher and are we at a point where the Ends justify the means? #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #productivity #virtualfence #nofence #technology

Ep 207: AI Technology: Part2 – It's Here, How Do We Use it ... Is It Safe?

Like it or not, AI Technology is here and today we continue in our discussion with Mackenzie Burnett (Ambrook). Topics like how it could be used… for example to start the ball rolling on things like estate planning, enterprise analysis, or business negotiations. But then we also head down a line of questions about things like the morality of AI technology and is it safe? But AI is not a silver bullet. While it may serve as a great assistant for some tasks, in ranching, human intervention in many things are still going to be required. So what do we do about it? The first thing is to try and understand it... then you decide.

Ep 205: Bull Selection - Are We Asking the Right Questions?

When it comes to bull selection, before you even look at a bull or look at all the numbers… there are some questions you must ask yourself. Dr. Saulo Zoca (University of Tennessee) walks us through some of these critical questions. Then, we must understand that first and foremost, this bull needs to stay healthy and breed cows. Finally we start looking at numbers, keeping in mind that at the end of the day, is it really about how much you paid for the bull or that he's going to bring you a return on your investment.

My guest today is none other than Allan Savory. A man who once despised livestock and now a fierce believer in the role of livestock to our planet.

Ep 188: Johne’s Disease… the “Silent Thief of Productivity”!

It's called the "Silent Thief of Productivity"... we’re talking about Johne’s Disease. A disease that is highly contagious and fatal, because there is no cure for it. For most of us we assume it’s a disease that you see in the dairy industry, but now, we are starting to see it showing up in the beef herd. Dr. Susanne Hickley (Neogen) is back as my guest as we discuss what causes it Johne's Disease, the four stages, what kind of testing is available, what can we do to manage against it, and why it is considered to be the “Silent Thief of Productivity”. But a huge concern is that the first two stage of Johne’s is not visible, but they are contagious. So, once an animal reaches visible stages, how many more cattle in your herd are infected? If you’re in the cattle business, buying, selling, or leasing bulls or bred cattle… might want to listen in to today’s episode. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #cowpunchercoffee #gelbvieh #TankToad #BarnOwl #Zoetis #Inherit #NewGenerationFeeds #SmartLIC #SilentThief #Disease

Ep 186: The Benefits of Zinc Supplementation Prior To or After Transportation

Adding ZINC can reduce the impacts of muscle disease in cattle. Muscle Fatigue, which can be a precursor to animals not getting up and eating, thus leading to added stress, which leads to sickness. Dr. Stephanie Hansen, with Iowa State University (link to press release) has been leading the latest research on benefits of added zinc into the diet of the cattle. Today will review the results of two studies they have done that focuses on added zinc supplementation both after transportation and prior to transportation.

Ep 179: Overreach or Rogue Agent? The Maude Family Story

Today it’s the story of Charles and Heather Maude, a young ranch family in Southwest South Dakota that have found themselves indicted for theft of federal property over 25 acres of National Grass Lands that had been a part of this 5th generation ranch family since 1910. Rachel Gabel, spokesperson for the Maude family, is my guest as we unpack this story. In 55 days from a normal and civil meeting on May 1st with a Forest Service District Ranger and a US Forest Service special agent over decades old boundary discrepancies, the Maudes, out of the blue, found themselves summoned to appear in US District Court. They were separately indicted with a maximum sentence of up to 10 years in prison and fined up to $250,000 each. So, what happened here? What are the details behind this story? Why has there been little to no information made available by the Forest Service as to why they escalated this issue quickly without trying to find resolution? Why is it alarming to all of us in production agriculture? Is this reflective of the US Forest Service or a rogue district office and agent in South Dakota?

Ep 178: Managing For Resilience!

What are you doing on your ranch to make it more resilient to drought or extreme winter weather conditions? Dr. Paul Beck (OK State) is my guest as that question leads our conversation. Dr. Beck will outline three areas that we can manage with our ranches to build that “resilience” in our ranching operation. Yes, the conversation will range from cow size to stocking rates to improved grazing and stockpiling. Would it be any coincidence that this conversation will lead to talking about profitability with your cow herd?? It's nothing fancy today, just a good conversation about how you and I can make a difference not only on our own ranchers but our industry as a whole. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #cowpunchercoffee #gelbvieh #HallandHall #TankToad #drought #cowsize #stockingrates #improvedgrazing

Ep 177: Things to Consider on Using TMR Mixers from... Rookie to Expert

TMR Mixing wagons... not just for the dairies and large feeding operations and today Dr. Kelley Neuhold (Westway Feed Products) and what he is referring to are TMR Mixers. Now TMR Mixers are not necessarily new in our industry but as more ranchers are picking them up used or new, what are some things we need to know about them. For example, what’s the difference between a horizontal and a vertical mixer, mixing order of your feed sources and why, as well as feed strategies when using them. You might be an outfit that uses one, one that is considering it, or an outfit that doesn’t want any more machinery… I encourage you to listen in because our conversation is for each of you. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #cowpunchercoffee #gelbvieh #HallandHall #TankToad #TMR #feedingcows #backgrounding
