Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Where Cattle and Conservation Meet: Gene Lollis on Buck Island Ranch
Q: How do you approach the balance of producing a growthy, efficient calf with a high-value carcass while using a cow that fits the environment?
Lollis said the industry may need to distinguish maternal and terminal genetics. He described using suitable replacement females and terminal-cross bulls, while acknowledging that carcass-focused breeding can produce replacement heifers that are too large or lack the maternal traits he needs.
Where Cattle and Conservation Meet: Gene Lollis on Buck Island Ranch
Q: What were some big aha moments or significant research projects or findings that were pivotal in how you think about the coexistence of cattle and the land?
Lollis described long-term water research that found cattle had little to no effect on water quality, while pasture type affected phosphorus runoff. The work also led to practices that slow water and generate environmental-service payments.
Cowboy Up — Hinmans on 61 years of Marriage, Mentorship and Montana Angus Cattle
Q: Can you give us the Cowboy Up story?
Dave recounts breeding a cow to an outside bull, recognizing Cowboy Up's exceptional qualities when he arrived, and how the bull's performance and substance matched what the industry needed.
Cowboy Up — Hinmans on 61 years of Marriage, Mentorship and Montana Angus Cattle
Q: How did you pick what type of cattle you wanted your name to be associated with?
Dave says mentors helped point him in a direction, and performance testing and within-herd ratios guided their breeding choices and selection of bloodlines.
‘The Cows Will Show You’: Klint and Lori Swanson on Building Shipwheel Cattle Company
Q: How do you balance data and the cow herd when selecting bulls for sale, particularly regarding feet and durability?
We balance carcass data with cow quality: a good cow with easy fleshing, good udder, and longevity is essential; we still value performance, but not at the expense of cattle that can walk long distances and breed reliably.
