Flies!  All of us in the cattle business deal with them.  They contribute to over a billion dollars in potential financial loses to our cattle industry each year, which includes you.  And before you repeat what you’ve always done or get sold on the latest product from the feed store, or get caught up in the latest all natural methods… maybe it’s time to re-evaluate. Dave Boxler, (University of Nebraska-Lincoln) is my guest as we discuss the various flies control methods.  From those that have been around for several years to new emerging practices. Now You may not change anything, but at least you’ll have more confidence in the direction you’re headed, or you'll consider other options that fit your management.

The gloves are off, which is usually what happens between siblings after Mom & Dad are gone if a good estate plan is not in place.  Today we’re gonna take the gloves off and get gritty in a discussion with Attorney Rick Durfee (Durfee Law Group) about estate planning and the family dynamics that can often create conflict. Plus, the danger of relying on a Will as an estate management tool, some of the tools that can be used in good proactive Estate Management, and the dangers of kicking this can down the road. This is not a warm fuzzy show, but if you value the legacy you would like to leave behind… listen in.

Ep 167: Weather Outlook: Summer & Fall… Brrr?

It's more about the "unknown" than the "known" when it comes to Avian Influenza (Bird Flu). Dr. Fred Gingrich, American Association of Bovine Practitioners, is my guest today as we discussed the Influenza Type A H5N1 outbreak now being confirmed in Dairy Cattle.  As a beef cattle rancher I have A LOT of questions like... Are beef cows susceptible? What are the symptoms? How is it transferred? Is it fatal?  Then, what it will do to consumer confidence in any products that come from cows... oh and then what about traceability? And then… what IF it shows up in a Beef Cow?  Dr. Gingrich rates this issue at a level 8.5 to 9 on a scale of 10. For the sake of your ranch and for our cattle industry, tune in for today’s show.

Ep 166: Bird Flu… What If!!

Today you get to listen in as I talked with two, totally unrelated, products in our ranching industry that I am considering using on our ranch.  The first is GPS tags in livestock.  Rob Paxson with 701X lays out how GPS tag technology works, how you would use it, who’s using it, who controls the data, and of course the cost. Then we’ll hear about a product aimed to mitigate stress in livestock called FerAppease. Founder and developer Dr. Rodorigo Bacalho explains what it is, how it works, it purpose in a cattle operation, and of course dosage and cost. It’s not a show endorsing the products, but if I have questions about them... I’ll bet you do to.

It’s all in the Title when it comes to Cull Cattle Management… Right Way… Right Time.  Trey Patterson (Padlock Ranch) and Patrick Linnell (CattleFax) join me today as we discuss the details of a guide to Cull Cattle Management called Right Way – Right Time. Our initial discussion starts with looking at practices that lead to financial losses to our overall industry but also erodes consumer confidence. Then beyond being proactive in our physical management of these cull animals, how do we maximize their marketing potential?  Are you leaving money on the table in the management of your cull cows and bulls?
