Ep 272: Beyond the Hide: Making Better Decisions with Genomics w/ Dr. Kirk Ramsey and Dr. Kelsey Luebbe
The replacement heifers you keep and the bulls you buy today are building your herd for the next cattle cycle. So how can genomic testing help you make those decisions with more confidence? Today Dr. Kirk Ramsey and Dr. Kelsey Luebbe with Neogen join us to discuss practical uses for genomics in commercial cow-calf operations. From selecting productive, longer-lasting females and identifying which bulls are doing their job to understanding the value your calves can carry into the feedlot. Plus, we look at the economics of testing and how to turn the results into better management decisions. #WorkingRanchRadio #Ranching #CattleGenetics #Genomics #CowCalf #ReplacementHeifers #BullSelection #CowLongevity #BeefCattle #Neogen #IgenityBeef

Ep 271: Another Year in the Herd: Value or Added Cost? w Randy Saner & Shannon Sand
With replacement females costing what they do today, what’s another productive year worth from a cow already in your herd? University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension educators Randy Saner and Shannon Sand join us to explore when that extra year adds value—and when it doesn’t. From replacement costs and young cows leaving the herd too soon to feed expenses and the productivity of older cows, we look at the factors that help determine whether keeping her another year will pay.

Ep 270: How Are Today's Cattle Numbers Reshaping Our Industry's Infrastructure? w/ Dr. Stephen Koontz
Historically low cattle numbers are creating challenges throughout the beef industry, but what does that mean for the infrastructure needed to feed and process those cattle? Dr. Stephen Koontz, agricultural economist at Colorado State University, joins us to examine how reduced cattle supplies are affecting feedlot capacity, packing plant operations, and competition within the industry. We discuss the economic pressures facing both sectors, potential changes ahead, and whether the industry will need to adjust to a smaller cattle herd over the long term. Plus, what could these structural changes mean for cow-calf producers, and what should ranchers be considering as they make decisions for the future of their operations. #WorkingRanchRadioShow #CattleIndustry #CattleMarkets #CattleNumbers #CowCalfProducers #BeefIndustry #FeedlotCapacity #MeatPacking #CattleEconomics #Ranching #StephenKoontz #ColoradoStateUniversity

Ep 269: The Value of a Calf Goes Beyond the Price
As the fall calf marketing season moves forward, where does the cattle market stand, and what should producers be considering? Bailey Ballou with Superior Livestock joins us to discuss current market fundamentals, feed costs, calf prices, and marketing strategies, including the value of weaning and vaccination programs. Then, Dr. Mitch Blanding with Zoetis discusses the importance of herd health, from protecting the developing fetus to preventing and managing bovine respiratory disease. Plus, Tim's Two Cents highlights Zoetis' Born of the Bond documentary and the importance of supporting rural veterinarians, and Don Day joins us with our weekly weather update. #WorkingRanchRadioShow #CattleMarket #SuperiorLivestock #Zoetis #CattleMarketing #CalfPrices #HerdHealth #BovineRespiratoryDisease #BeefCattle #Ranching #CowCalfProducers #BornOfTheBond #RuralVeterinarians #TimsTwoCents #DayWeather

Ep 268: What’s True vs. What’s the Truth? w/ Chad Conard
Are the numbers and talking points we hear across the cattle business really telling us the whole story? This week, Chad Conard joins me to challenge some commonly repeated narratives—from the aging rancher and shrinking cow herd to beef production and imports—and look at the context behind the numbers. Plus, Cameron Cody with Harper Industries talks DewEze bale beds, feeding equipment and the Butler brand. #WorkingRanchRadioShow #CattleIndustry #BeefIndustry #Ranching #CattleProducers #DewEze

Ep 267: The Life You Planned, The Path You Take w/ Glen Waters
The life you planned in agriculture may not be the life you ultimately live—and that doesn’t mean it turned out wrong. Glen Waters, cattle sales specialist with Purina Animal Nutrition, joins us to share how growing up with cattle helped shape his career in the industry, why staying involved in cattle production today gives him a valuable perspective when working with ranchers, and why he’s optimistic about the next generation in agriculture. Then we change gears and turn our attention to Washington as Justin Tupper, president of the U.S. Cattlemen’s Association, gives us an update following his recent trip to D.C., including the latest movement on the Farm Bill, recent actions involving the cattle industry, and other conversations taking place in Washington that could impact cattle producers. #WorkingRanchRadioShow #WorkingRanch #Ranching #CattleIndustry #BeefIndustry #Agriculture #RanchLife #CattleProducers #PurinaAnimalNutrition #NextGenerationAg #AgCareers #FarmBill #USCattlemen #Cattlemen #AmericanAgriculture

Ep 266: When Rebuilding Isn’t About Going Back w/ Kyle Farmer
Sometimes the toughest years force us to rethink the way we manage our ranches. Northern California rancher Kyle Farmer joins us to share how a devastating wildfire changed the way he looked at rebuilding and ultimately led him to become an early adopter of virtual fencing. We’ll talk about how that technology has changed his approach to grazing, water and infrastructure development, fire mitigation, and even how he uses his time on the ranch. It’s a conversation about looking beyond the way things have always been done and considering what might better prepare our ranches for the future. #WorkingRanchRadioShow #Ranching #VirtualFencing #Halter #GrazingManagement #Wildfire #RanchManagement

Plus, meteorologist Don Day joins us for our annual long-range weather outlook, taking us from fall through winter and into spring as El Niño takes control of the forecast. #WorkingRanchRadioShow #CattleMarket #BeefMarket #CattlePrices #CalfMarket #SuperiorLivestock #BigHornClassic #Ranching #CowCalf #BeefIndustry #ElNino #WeatherOutlook #LongRangeForecast #RanchWeather #DonDay
