Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Introducing the Dairy Data Academy: with Dr. Jeffrey Bewley and Jodi Hoynoski
Q: What can participants expect, and what will this experience look like?
Participants will visit the barn, work with real data at the WKU SmartHolstein Lab, and receive introductions to basic statistics, computer vision, and computer programming.
Introducing the Dairy Data Academy: with Dr. Jeffrey Bewley and Jodi Hoynoski
Q: Where did the idea for the Dairy Data Academy come from?
Jeffrey Bewley saw strong demand for people who understand both dairy cows and data, but too few candidates with both kinds of experience. The academy is intended to introduce young people to the opportunities and skills involved.
A Voice for Dairy: with Corey Geiger
Q: What is the story behind your Ranrose prefix and how did it influence your path in dairy?
The Ranrose prefix came from a collaborative moment between my parents and a neighbor who encouraged them to register Holsteins. The name blends my parents' names and symbolizes the family foundation of my career, rooted in a culture of neighborly support and practical, hands-on dairy farming from a young age.
Road to President: with Dwight Rokey
Q: What is the role of registered Holsteins in your farm and how do you explain it to customers?
He explains that registering cows allows traceability and a connection to genetics and lineage, which helps communicate health, care, and improvements across generations to customers.
Shining in the Showring with Justin Brandel
Q: What did it mean to celebrate this accomplishment with family and supporters?
Describes the emotional support from family and mentors and the pride of the community around him.
