  • 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 .

  • 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 263: Cattle Markets: Still Defying Gravity w/ Trent Stewart
Q: How should producers approach marketing their calves given the current market and delivery windows?
Producers should focus on signing up cattle with reliable reps, align marketing with proven sale platforms, and consider early or pre-scheduled video sales to capture strong prices. They should also account for feed costs, drought impacts, and potential future leverage from the packing side, while maintaining herd health and vaccination programs to protect long-term reputation.
Ep 263: Cattle Markets: Still Defying Gravity w/ Trent Stewart
Q: What were buyers actually looking for, and what were they paying for in the recent sales?
Buyers were prioritizing high-quality, well-vaccinated cattle with strong survival rates, grazing to support branded and program cattle, and they paid premium for pedigreed, well-managed lots, especially those in branded programs. They were looking for cattle that fit specific weight breaks and delivery timing, and they emphasized the value of preparedness and reputation in marketing.
Ep 262: Should She Stay? Rethinking Cull Cow Decisions w/ Dr. Ron Gill
Q: She has an outstanding calf every year but is dangerous. What do you do?
If she poses a safety risk, she should be culled regardless of performance.
Ep 262: Should She Stay? Rethinking Cull Cow Decisions w/ Dr. Ron Gill
Q: She's a three-year-old cow. She came in open but has top genetics. Keep or sell and why?
Depends on whether she would be replaced cost-effectively by a heifer; if drought or other factors make keeping her viable, keep; otherwise sell if she doesn't fit the current production system.
Ep 262: Should She Stay? Rethinking Cull Cow Decisions w/ Dr. Ron Gill
Q: She's a nine-year-old cow. She raises one of your biggest cows, but her teeth are beginning to wear down. Keep, sell and why?
Keep her for now if she is still milking adequately and there are teeth to process forage; identify her for annual evaluation to decide if she stays based on productivity and profitability.
