So, what are the behaviors that we see in Efficient Cattle and the behaviors in the Non-Efficient Cattle?  Basically, finding that cow that can do everything she’s supposed to do, but do it with less in her environment.  Dr. Jim Sprinkle, Extension Beef Specialist with the University of Idaho is my guest as we talk about their latest research that looks at the grazing behavior of cow/calf pairs on rugged rangeland pastures.  What can we glean from that data? But keep in mind, we have been an industry has been chasing weight and high production cattle in previous years, which research is show... are not the most efficient cattle.

Today you get to ride along with me as I explore three different products that I am interested in knowing more about that would be applicable to… really any ranch or livestock operation of any shape and size. Now if you’re like me, you’re not necessarily looking for short cuts, but you are looking for ways to work smarter. So today we’ll learn about these three companies/products. First up will be Barn Owl (Remote Camera System), then will look at Neogen’s Blood Pregnancy Tests, and finally we’ll look at Ranch-Bot (Water Monitoring System). Trust me on this, it’s a show that offers a good return on investment of your time.

The "Fall Run" of cattle is upon us, and Clint Berry with Superior Livestock is back.  While we will talk calf, yearling, and the replacement markets, we'll also have an extremely informative discussion on whether to wean calves.  And, what's the most overvalued and the most undervalued animal in the market right now?  Hear his thoughts on those questions.

These are undesirables.  They drink and they steal from what we want to see flourish… I’m talking about Invasive Grasses.  Jaycie Arndt Invasive Grasses Extension Educator from the University of Wyoming is my guest as we discuss management of these undesirables as well as what it’s going to take to slow down and or eradicate these grasses from continuing to spread across the country.  Plus, there’s and Invasive Grasses Summit and we’ll talk about how you can participate in that event.  See links below:

Today we take you on a ranch tour as we head north into the Canadian Province of Alberta.  Located on the Highwood River sits the OH Ranch of the Calgary Stampede.  It’s a working cattle ranch, but for the Calgary Stampede it serves as a platform to tell the story of our ranching industry.  Manager Ken Pigeon and his wife Deb join me today as we get an inside look at the OH Ranch.  From normal, everyday ranch work to management practices and their relationship with the Nature Conservancy. Join us for a tour of the Calgary Stampede’s OH Ranch!

The Bureau of Land Management recently issued a final decision for changing six grazing allotments in Montana from cattle to bison.  But the issue here is, "Why did the Environmental Assessment (EA) conducted in this instance fail to analyze the full range of impacts from the proposal by the American Prairie Reserve"?  Furthermore, what if this would have been a proposal put forth by ranchers like you or me? Jay Bodner, Executive Vice President for the Montana Stockgrowers Association and Kaitlynn Glover, Executive Director of the Public Lands Council for the NCBA are my guests as we discuss what took place and the potential implications of the decision in the future for ranchers across the country.

Weather. It’s a critical variable that impacts our Ranches.  But what if you could mitigate that risk with a process that would assist in management decisions?  EJ Raynor, research scientist with the USDA Ag Research in Colorado, and Retta Bruegger, with Colorado State Extension, are my guest as we discuss an 80-year project on weather cycles, how it correlates to production on ranches, and a decision tree tool that can be used to make management decisions.
