    As a person who has been fighting for more transparency and ability for producers to directly have a say/vote in how their check off dollars are spent. I was pretty disappointed in the interview not asking any critical questions. Really turned me off enough to unfollow the show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Maximize Grazing Resources with Virtual Fence
Q: How do heat maps influence your grazing decisions?
Heat maps show where cows spend time, which helps you place back fences to prevent overgrazing and to adapt quickly when forestry access changes.
Maximize Grazing Resources with Virtual Fence
Q: How do you train the cows to adapt to the collars, and how durable is the training year to year?
Training is straightforward; calves go through a staged training process, older cows remember the system after a year, and retraining is mostly limited to new heifers.
Maximize Grazing Resources with Virtual Fence
Q: What is the biggest benefit you've seen from using virtual fence technology?
Labor savings and better monitoring, especially in rugged forested land, which improves grazing efficiency and soil health.
Tips for AI'ing Cattle
Q: How should producers respond if weather or an unforeseen event disrupts AI timing?
If disruptions occur, use planned resync options, consider prostaglandin-driven re-synchronization, and adjust subsequent AI timing to minimize losses while maintaining overall breeding goals.
Tips for AI'ing Cattle
Q: What makes a successful AI day?
Success hinges on thorough preparation, clear communication with technicians and suppliers, proper protocol adherence, and having back-up plans and extra supplies to handle any hiccups on the day.
