  • Quite an education

    Appreciate his heart ( and he’s a rancher facing same issues) in providing a nedium for interesting angles, innovation, market dynamics, and behavioral finance issues which may result in sub- optimal ranching outcomes .

    Brilliant show

  • Relevant

    As a rancher who recently started selling program calves to 44 Farms for the Walmart beef supply chain. I found the two part series informative, relevant, and helpful. I appreciate the weather report and the snipbit of other information from the producer in every episode. If you want to know the latest and greatest in ranching, listen to this podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 249: Making Kentucky 31 Fescue Work—and What It Teaches About Grazing Management w/ Dr. Harley Naumann
Q: Okay, Dr. Naumann, what does a basic preconditioning protocol look like for calves?
The basic PrimeVac 24 program includes one round of shots for calves on cows: one clostridial vaccine dose, one modified-live 5-way viral vaccine dose, and one maternal-parasite vaccine dose, plus deworming and consideration of implants; more common is moving to PrimeVac 34 with a second dose before weaning, and further upgrades include 45 and 60-day weaning components, with higher adoption rates in practice.
Ep 248: Does Grazing Under Pivots Pencil? w/ Race King
Q: Is grazing under pivots viable outside Montana or just in local conditions?
Race argues it can work anywhere with careful comparisons to regional crops and costs, and by choosing appropriate pasture mixes and practices that fit the local climate and water availability.
Ep 247: Transitioning from Crops to Cattle w/ Troy Hadrick
Q: How did you finance the initial transition, especially the water and fencing infrastructure?
We leveraged an existing water pipeline to supply the new pasture, planned cross-fencing and grazing management, and used conservation programs like the Grassland Restoration through the Regional Conservation Partnership Program to offset costs and establish the pasture without taking on unsustainable debt.
Ep 247: Transitioning from Crops to Cattle w/ Troy Hadrick
Q: What motivated you to move away from cropping toward a cattle-centric operation?
The rising input costs for crops, the potential to generate higher and more predictable revenue from direct beef sales, and the ability to grow more beef on the same land drove the pivot, reinforced by the opportunity to connect with local restaurants and build a value chain.
Ep 246: Why Calves Crash Three Weeks After Weaning or a Stress Event w/ Dr. Blaine Ellison
Q: Are vaccines and handling increases during this surge more harmful than beneficial?
Yes, stacking vaccines and handling during the peak cortisol period can heighten stress; spreading out vaccines and handling events can lessen the negative impact.
