Beef on Dairy... today is Part 1 of a two-part series looking at that segment of our cattle industry. Dr. Ty Lawrence of West Texas A&M University is one of the most recognized experts on this subject. Today we will look at the factors in the dairy industry that has dairy producers cross breeding to non-dairy genetics. Then we’ll begin to peel back the layers as we look at "the Good", "the Bad"... and in next weeks show will finish with the Ugly and my questions on this subject.

It's more about the "unknown" than the "known" when it comes to Avian Influenza (Bird Flu). Dr. Fred Gingrich, American Association of Bovine Practitioners, is my guest today as we discussed the Influenza Type A H5N1 outbreak now being confirmed in Dairy Cattle. As a beef cattle rancher I have A LOT of questions like... Are beef cows susceptible? What are the symptoms? How is it transferred? Is it fatal? Then, what it will do to consumer confidence in any products that come from cows... oh and then what about traceability? And then… what IF it shows up in a Beef Cow? Dr. Gingrich rates this issue at a level 8.5 to 9 on a scale of 10. For the sake of your ranch and for our cattle industry, tune in for today’s show.

Today you get to listen in as I talked with two, totally unrelated, products in our ranching industry that I am considering using on our ranch. The first is GPS tags in livestock. Rob Paxson with 701X lays out how GPS tag technology works, how you would use it, who’s using it, who controls the data, and of course the cost. Then we’ll hear about a product aimed to mitigate stress in livestock called FerAppease. Founder and developer Dr. Rodorigo Bacalho explains what it is, how it works, it purpose in a cattle operation, and of course dosage and cost. It’s not a show endorsing the products, but if I have questions about them... I’ll bet you do to.

It’s all in the Title when it comes to Cull Cattle Management… Right Way… Right Time. Trey Patterson (Padlock Ranch) and Patrick Linnell (CattleFax) join me today as we discuss the details of a guide to Cull Cattle Management called Right Way – Right Time. Our initial discussion starts with looking at practices that lead to financial losses to our overall industry but also erodes consumer confidence. Then beyond being proactive in our physical management of these cull animals, how do we maximize their marketing potential? Are you leaving money on the table in the management of your cull cows and bulls?

1The use of Antibiotics, Implants, and Feed Supplements... honestly it feels like the start of an awkward conversation. However, Dr. Michael Apley (KSU) unpacks these topics as we not only talk through the history of Antibiotics in our food animals, but also their purpose in today’s cattle industry… from both an animal efficiency point of view but also from an animal welfare perspective. Then we'll have a discussion on Implants being used and the narratives in our industry by both producers and consumers that tend create division. Then we'll get into the uses and value of using Ionophores and Beta Agonists in our livestock feed.

The USDA closed the loophole that requires IF a beef product CHOOSES to be labeled a "Product of the USA" it must be Born, Raised, Slaughtered, and Processed in the USA. Leo McDonnell is my guest as we get his take on this change. It's a topic he has been advocating for, for 25 years. And as we know Country of Origin Labeling has been a controversial issue in our industry for many years. So, what clicked… what was it in these latest changes that brought agreement amongst industry groups that have been at odds in the past on this issue? We’ll discuss that as well as his thoughts on the WTO, the results of the Consumer Survey on beef products, and why he believes this voluntary approach to Country-of-Origin Labeling could build cooperation in the industry.

Over 6 million head, that’s the size of the cattle herd in the state of Kansas and today Matt Perrier (Dalebanks Angus & host of Practically Ranching), 5th generation rancher from Eureka, KS, walks us through the history of the Kansas Cattle Industry. From those iconic Kansas cow towns to the expansion of the railroad, the arrival of the Black Angus in the US, and the Kansas City Stockyards and Packing houses. We'll also talk about the evolution of the Kansas Cattle Industry since the early 1900’s and how Kansas is a state that literally has every facet of the beef industry inside its boarders... from the rancher or the farmers to the feeder and the packer. Doesn't matter what part of the country you're from, you might be surprised in what you learn about what Kansas has to do with your ranching operation.

Estate Planning... a topic nearly every ranch family will have to… or has dealt with. Attorney Dal Houston walks us through the various topics like: the difference between a Will and a Trust; the difference between a Revocable Trust and an Irrevocable Trust as well as discussion on Joint Tenancy, Partnerships, and LLC’s. You may have heard this topic before, but it's crucial to the sustainability of our family ranches... and how much you wanna bet you’ll hear something this time around that you missed the first time.
