  • 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 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.
Ep 246: Why Calves Crash Three Weeks After Weaning or a Stress Event w/ Dr. Blaine Ellison
Q: What is the main physiological driver behind the 21-day period of reduced growth after stress in calves?
A prolonged cortisol surge shifts energy use from lipid metabolism to blood sugar, suppressing growth and compromising immune function, which leads to little or no gain during that window.
Ep 244: 2026 Weather Outlook w/ Don Day
Q: Is there any hope that the snowpacks are going to get built back up?
While the snowpack levels are low, there may be some opportunity for recovery before spring ends.
Ep 244: 2026 Weather Outlook w/ Don Day
Q: What do you see with El Niño and the timing of that potentially happening?
A moderate or weak El Niño is expected to develop slowly towards the end of summer.
Ep 241: When Emotion Meets Discipline in the Cow Herd w/ John Maddux
Q: How do you rationalize dealing with appreciation and depreciation of cows in a rising market?
We maintain a strategic focus, balancing appreciation and ensuring we sell before depreciation significantly impacts value.
