Good morning everyone and welcome to the ranch collective podcast!
On this show, we talk about all things agriculture and western lifestyle and have real conversations with people who are involved- from the farmer to the barrel racer to the vet tech.
I missed you guys last week- and I’m so happy to be back. I don’t know if anyone actually liked the life updates you used to get at the top of the show, but you’re gonna get some today! I came home the Friday after the last episode I released, and pretty much slept except to eat and shower until Tuesday morning. That was a week ago yesterday, and you can still hear the congestion in my voice- SO I’m on the mend but definitely not 100% yet.
Next thing is that from now until the end of June, the pod schedule will be a little up in the air because we are making a trip to Reno for a wedding next week, and then my family comes to visit us for the next couple of weeks immediately after that. I plan on sharing episodes during that time, but I may not because I’ll be prioritizing family time. You can find out from my social media if there will be an episode!
Thirdly- I still have podcast stickers. You can find them on Etsy if you want one. It’s been a while since I mentioned that- but they’re there. There’s a link in the show notes.
Lastly- and this is with a heavy heart- a moment of silence for Lynlee. I didn’t personally know her, but a lot of you did, and I do know what losing someone feels like, and my heart breaks for every single one of you who feels the loss of Lynlee in your soul. I won’t use her suicide as a launching point for a mental health discussion but
the national suicide hotline number is 988, and you can text or call that number in crisis- and I hope that you do.
Today I’m speaking with Sam from Due West and she artificially inseminates cows, and I know nothing about that process, so im thrilled to have her to chat with.
This week, we are discussing how AI works, and dispelling some misconceptions.
Just a warning, we do get into some graphic descriptions of the AI process, we talk about sexual assault, and I tell a story about my IUD insertion so this episode is explicit.
I hope you all enjoy, and I’m so happy you’re here.
You can find Sam on instagram as @duewestlivestock
