- #12 Kirk Stierwalt & Felipe Bicalho - FerAppease, Show Cattle Secrets & 50 Years in the Business
Kirk Stierwalt, a 39-year show cattle legend and Purina’s first cattle ambassador, joins Felipe Bicalho, son of Rodrigo Bicalho, founder of Fera Diagnostics, at Beaver County Stockyards in Beaver, OK. Together, they break down FerAppease: how it cuts cortisol, boosts conception rates by up to 10%, and drove 95% choice/prime versus 88% in a feedlot trial.
Host Jeff Slatten also gets Kirk’s full story—from clipping bulls at the National Western as a college freshman to running 300 cows on 4,000 acres, and seeing two kids win Denver on the same day.

1 hr 35 min - #009 Matt Parsons - Building a Cattle Operation, a Restaurant, and a Legacy From Scratch
Host Dane Drake sits down with Matt Parsons of Sun Cattle Company, a first-generation rancher who started with 10 heifers at 36, built a cattle-to-table onion burger restaurant in Oklahoma City, sells mules out of Wyoming, and still shows up at the Beaver County Stockyards to market his Braford cows when drought calls for it. One of the more honest conversations about what it actually takes to build a cattle operation from zero.

53 min - #008 Stanley J. Barby Part 2 - The Ranch That Shaped the Oklahoma Panhandle
Dane Drake sits down with Stanley J. Barby for part two of a wide-ranging conversation covering six generations of Panhandle ranching - from doctoring 75 screwworm-infested cattle a day on horseback, to running 20,000 yearlings, flying 3,000 hours in a Hughes helicopter (and walking away from three wrecks), winning the Oklahoma Ranch Rodeo six times, and serving as Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association president during the Hog War. Recorded at Beaver County Stockyards in Beaver, OK.

1 hr 44 min - #007 Dane Konkel - Dead for 14 Minutes and Still Ranching
Beaver County Stockyards host Dane Drake sits down with Dane Konkel, former co-owner of Beaver County Stockyards and Lane Konkel's dad, for a wide-ranging conversation about a lifetime spent in agriculture. From harvest crews running Goree, Texas to Scobey, Montana, to running 1,000 ewes in Wyoming, buying the Beaver sale barn in 2002, and surviving a near-fatal medical event that left him clinically dead for 14 minutes, Dane Konkel's story is one of grit, faith, and a handshake-built life in the cattle business.

- #004 Stanley J. Barby - No Man's Land, Dalton Gang Hideouts, and Building a Ranch from Nothing
Dane Drake sits down with Stanley J. Barby to trace the Barby Ranch from its roots - a German immigrant shoe cobbler who survived a wildfire on Hog Creek in Hodgeman County, Kansas, to a 13-year-old boy who rode south alone and started putting together what would become one of the most legendary ranches in the Oklahoma Panhandle. From No Man's Land and the Dalton Gang hideout on the Beaver River, to branding Hereford cattle across 70 sections and a summer-long recovery from a broken hip at age nine, this is a story you won't hear anywhere else.
