Brands And Barbed Wire

Welcome back to another episode of Brands and Barbed Wire.  As you know here on Brands and Barbed Wire we strive to introduce you to as many segments, contributors, environments, operations, innovations, history and cultures who are involved in this tremendous beef industry, which makes me super excited about todays guest who uniquely encompasses all of those features.  Today I’m joined by Alex Johns, Executive Director of Agriculture for the Seminole Tribe in FL, who’s family has been involved in cattle production for over 500 years. Alex speaks candidly about their history, culture and struggles both then and now, but also about how they’ve become one of the top cattle producers in the entire country. I really think you are going to enjoy hearing from todays guest and am honored to introduce you to Alex Johns, Executive Director of Agriculture for the Seminole Tribe.

Welcome back to another episode of Brands and Barbed Wire.  On several of our previous we’ve heard about the historical importance of Artificial Insemination (A.I.) to the beef industry and even more specifically on episodes like Jorgensen and Richard McClung we learned how certain sires and A.I. companies shaped the industry at the time.   Today we get to peak behind the curtain of one of one of the more important jobs, within one of those companies.   I hope you enjoy my conversation with Ben Lohmann Beef Sire Acquisition Manager for ABS Global.

Welcome back to Brands and Barbed Wire.  Once again, we strive to introduce you to a variety of people who have an impact on the beef cattle industry and today’s guest is no different.  He doesn’t make his living raising, breeding, or feeding cattle, but he’s equally important to those that do.  Chandler Keys has spent nearly 40 years advocating for the beef cattle business in a place where many of us would be a fish out of water, Washington DC.  Thank goodness for us Chandler thrives in that environment and as you’ll soon hear, after 40 years, he’s still excited and enthusiastic about the beef cattle industry. So let’s jump right in and learn more about Chandler Key’s of the Keys Group the most Senior beef cattle lobbyist in Washington DC.

Welcome back to this week’s episode of Brands and Barbed Wire.  One of the unique things about the cattle business is its diversity.  From the various environments, breeds and philosophies to the use of technology and endearment to history and culture.  Here at Brands and Barbed Wire we strive to introduce you to much of that diversity and today’s episode is no different.  Today we learn a little  about the Akaushi and Wagyu breeds from Dr. Aaron Cooper who works with those breeds daily though his consulting company 33 Ventures.  Find additional information out about Dr. Cooper at www.akaushiinsight.com or email him [email protected] or call 402-310-1327.
