  • Great source of information!

    One of my favourite sources. Very well presented and easy to absorb while on the road. The research and ideas presented often trigger deeper research, discussion and idea generation in our group, and potential action on our client farms.

  • One of my go to. Great podcast

    I have trouble with not enough volume when driving in my truck. Voice tracks seem low. I have to max speaker volume to hear. I may or may not be partially deaf though.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Journal Club - The Impact of Excess Liver Copper Concentrations with Dr. Stephanie Hansen
Q: How do liver copper ranges relate to oxidative stress and biomarkers?
Liver copper above ~400-450 ppm is associated with increased oxidative damage in dairy literature, and in this study high liver copper correlated with a drop in antioxidant capacity during disease challenges, suggesting copper-driven oxidative stress may compromise immunity.
Journal Club - The Impact of Excess Liver Copper Concentrations with Dr. Stephanie Hansen
Q: What did you find about high liver copper and BRD response?
Calves with high liver copper showed poorer BRD responses, including higher clinical scores and more lung consolidation over time, indicating that suboptimal copper status can worsen disease outcomes even when animals are not clinically dead; this supports the idea of a subclinical toxic effect on the immune response.
Journal Club - The Impact of Excess Liver Copper Concentrations with Dr. Stephanie Hansen
Q: What's unique about the BeFundDairy model and why was it chosen?
The model originated from Iowa Beef Checkoff-driven projects responding to field questions about lightweight beef-on-dairy calves entering feedlots; it provides a practical disease-challenge framework that reveals how prior liver copper status influences BRD outcomes, offering real-world relevance for producers.
Producer Panel: How We Achieve > 7 lb. day of Milk Components with Corey Geiger and Guests
Q: As we close out, what advice would you give producers aiming for seven to eight pounds of milk solids per cow?
The panel emphasizes consistency, proper facilities, forage quality, and strategic culling and labor management as keys to reaching higher component production.
Producer Panel: How We Achieve > 7 lb. day of Milk Components with Corey Geiger and Guests
Q: So Corey, would you mind introducing the guests you had on the panel?
