What if changing the way cattle respond to stress could change everything from health to performance?

This week on the Registered Ranching Podcast, Tucker sits down with Dr. Rodrigo Bicalho, whose journey took him from Brazil to Cornell University, where he earned his Ph.D. and went on to serve as an assistant professor. His heart for research has driven his career and his work to better understand animal health, performance, and one of the cattle industry's biggest challenges: stress.

Rodrigo breaks down the science behind FerAppease, a product designed to mimic a naturally occurring maternal bovine appeasing substance and applied topically to cattle. They discuss research surrounding its use and its potential effects on bovine respiratory disease (BRD), mortality, feed efficiency, weaning stress, and commingling.

But knowing what a product does is only part of the equation. Rodrigo also walks through how and when to use FerAppease, why timing matters, and what producers should understand about stress when cattle are weaned, transported, mixed with unfamiliar animals, or introduced to a new environment.

From the research lab to real-world cattle operations, this conversation takes a deeper look at what stress costs the cattle industry—and what we can do about it.

Some people don't just witness history—they become part of it.

In this special episode of Registered Ranching, Tucker travels to The Meat Board in Fort Worth to sit down with one of rodeo's most legendary voices, Bob Tallman. For decades, Bob has been the soundtrack of rodeo across America, and in this conversation, he shares unforgettable stories from some of the most iconic arenas and moments the sport has ever seen.

Throughout the conversation, Bob reflects on the people, moments, and memories that shaped his remarkable career. From legendary rodeo performances to behind-the-scenes stories few have ever heard, his passion for the western way of life shines through every minute of the conversation.

Beyond the stories, Bob and Tucker dive into something every consumer should understand—the importance of the beef industry. They discuss meat education, different cuts of beef, and how they're best prepared.

But what makes this episode truly special isn't just the history or the laughs—it's the heart behind the conversation. As the episode comes to a close, Bob opens up about the challenges he's faced over the past several months, the faith that's carried him through them, and the perspective he's gained along the way. It's an honest, powerful ending that you'll want to hear for yourself.

And of course, it wouldn't be a Bob Tallman podcast without hearing the voice one more time. Before the episode wraps up, Bob gives Registered Ranching a legendary rodeo announcer sendoff that every fan will appreciate.

Whether you're a lifelong rodeo fan, passionate about agriculture, or simply love hearing stories from people who've lived an extraordinary life, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

This week on Registered Ranching, Tucker is joined by the newest member of the R.A. Brown Ranch team, Bryleigh Schweer, the ranch’s new marketing and social media intern.

Originally from Colorado and now based in Lubbock, Texas, Bryleigh gives listeners a quick introduction to who she is, how she found her way into agriculture and media, and what she’ll be working on behind the scenes at the ranch.

Then, Tucker and Bryleigh dive into some of the videos making their way around the internet and the beef industry. From the growing concern surrounding New World screwworm and conversations about lab-grown meat, to beef prices and what consumers are seeing at the grocery store, they react to topics that have people in agriculture talking.

And it wouldn’t be Registered Ranching without having a little fun. They finish things off with some of the wildest AI-generated ranching videos on the internet—and try to figure out what AI thinks ranch life actually looks like.

It’s current events, cattle, technology, a few laughs, and a chance to meet one of the newest faces at R.A. Brown Ranch.
