The American Cattlemen Podcast features Gail McKinney interviewing John Mollhagen and Gene Dubas from Molly Manufacturing at Cattle Con 2025. The discussion centers on the company's innovative cattle handling equipment and safety solutions. John Mollhagen explained the company's origins, which began with developing Trans Corral due to challenges with existing pasture equipment. They focused on creating hydraulic chutes with reduced noise and improved safety features. Their Silencer chute was designed to address problems with traditional "nutcracker" style gates, such as animal choking and potential injury. Gene Dubas highlighted the Turret Gate system as a significant safety innovation. The hydraulic swing gate allows remote operation, eliminating the need for workers to be in close proximity to cattle. He emphasized the critical safety benefits, noting recent local fatalities from cattle-related accidents. The podcast also discussed the Hydro Dragon, a firefighting tool developed to quickly control pasture fires. Additionally, they touched on current cattle industry challenges, including declining cattle numbers and an aging rancher population. The interview concluded by encouraging listeners to visit Molly Manufacturing's website for more information about their products, which aim to improve safety and efficiency in cattle handling.
