The Topic of Episode 2 touches everyone at some point in their lives. Your own mental health, the mental health of family, friends, co-workers, neighbour's, our heroes… everyone. Please listen with an open mind as we work to end the stigma of mental health issues. If you feel the need to ever reach out to talk with someone there is an extensive list below in the Episode description. These are all 100% anonymous, safe and supported by people that are ready to listen to you. Thank you Cynthia for your time speaking about Mental Health in Agriculture. The busiest season for the vast majority of those making a living Ranching and Farming is right around the corner, keep yourselves FUELED! Keep yourselves and everyone around you safe.

I believe Robin Williams said it best, “Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.”

Thanks for listening,

Kurtis Reid

This episode I just could not get enough of the stories with Allan Browarny of ShowChampions.com. His early memories of the family business, Browarny Photography. Traveling with his father, learning the ropes and developing a love and passion for his family's business. Have you ever pictured cattle for the Rockefeller family in NY? Or for the King of Morocco? Set up a dark negative room? Traveling the world, meeting people, building an amazing network and still rooted in where he started, I know you're going to enjoy this as much as I did.

Our last interview episode for Season 1. It has been a great experience starting this in June/July and watching what it has grown into now. One last episode in review before the Holiday season. See you at Agribition!

This was a real fun interview with an early 30’s aged breeder that is building momentum in the business. Justin VanDeWoestyne of Vandy cattle joins me in talking cows, building up a herd, working off farm and much more. You’ll hear from Justin how he has always chased his passions and I hope that is something we all can take away and push to achieve.

It was great to sit down with Trent and Janelle Liebreich of Merit Cattle Co. for an in person interview. You can feel the passion and drive they have for building their family, herd and brand through the entire interview. Just ok is not in their vocabulary and their insight on industry relevant topics is refreshing.

Our first ever in person interview was a blast with Double Bar D Farm, Ken and Logan Dimler. Brought to you by Season 1 Sponsor of the Lifestock Podcast, Klassen Cattle Equipment of Didsbury Alberta.

W/C Bankroll 811D, heard of him? But seriously, the chance to talk about building a herd, investing in bulls and making some major decisions based on advancing your genetics, it was a great conversation. Ken and Logan are great people, so humble and grounded with their outlooks and descriptions of making opportunities for themselves. As the quote goes, 'Luck is where hard work meets preparation'. We could have visited for hours with no end about so much more than we did. Thank you again to the Dimlers for their time.

Welcome to the Lifestock Podcast.

On Episode 4 brought to you by Klassen Cattle Equipment and INC Speckle Parks, Barry and Patty Hall join me in discussing their families operation. How they started, change of breed focus, listening to customers needs and incorporating into their program. Networking is such an amazing skill and the Hall’s have done a wonderful job as they gained the experience and followed their passions in the livestock sector. We didn’t even have to *bleep* out Barry once!
