Have questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you! Are there very many pictures as pretty as a brand-new stretch of barbwire fence? Posts perfectly straight, wire absolutely level and slick cattle grazing on the right side of the fence complete that image in my mind. But have you ever stopped to think about what has to go on behind the scenes to make that view possible? It doesn’t just start with the early morning start on loading supplies or the inevitable family event missed beca...
Have questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you! For a large portion of the United States, the previous year has been one for the books. Plentiful rain and green grass - even in areas that usually can't claim anything green except for the bar ditches - are certainly caused for celebration. However, with that moisture comes its own unique set of challenges. Those challenges often materialize as nuisances that can cause tail swishing, bunching, overstimulated and stressed cattle. B...
Have questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you! On this episode, host Lynsey McAnally brings our audience a bit of a different perspective on the beef industry. Beef processors – large and small – are a critical piece of the beef supply chain puzzle. When COVID-19 was felt full force back in 2020, the need for an expanded network of processors across the state of Oklahoma became apparent. The result: $10 million of potential grant funding was made available to those wishing to b...
Have questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you! Weather, drought, market prices and other factors can all put a major damper on the success of cattle producers year to year. Speaking with producers across the nation recently, there are struggles to be had whether rain has come your way or not. But how can we as livestock producers build a safety net in the event of unforeseen circumstances? On this episode, we invite you to listen to a conversation from CattleCon 2025 that...
Have questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you! As we discussed in our last episode of Angus at Work, the current cattle market is a hot topic across the country. But what are the markets actually looking like and where are they possibly heading in the future? As a continuation of our regular Market Update series, we invite you to join in the conversation as Troy Marshall, Director of Commercial Industry Relations, and Lynsey McAnally, associate editor of the Angus Beef Bulletin, ch...
Have questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you! The current cattle market is a hot topic around any coffee pot or small-town café, but did you know that team behind one particular industry group is working to support the livestock marketing infrastructure across our country? Founded in 1947, the Livestock Marketing Association is a national, member-led professional organization that works as an advocate for the livestock marketing industry and provides a voice on state and feder...
Have questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you! Rural Americans are some of the most tenacious and giving individuals on the planet. While many of us identify as farmers and ranchers on a level far exceeding that of many “normal” careers, that devotion can come at a cost when it comes to managing the challenges associated with feeding the world. On today’s episode we invite you to take a seat and join the conversation as we chat with Jeff Winton, founder of Rural Minds, a...
Have questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you! Innovations and technological advancements are two things the agricultural industry has a wealth of.

First up is Kaylene Ballesteros, Go-to-Market Manager, Hay & Forage for John Deere,...
Have questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you! One concern that can keep any cattle producer hopping? Cattle health. Whether preventing the issue before it has a chance to begin or monitoring the health of fed cattle across a larger operation, ensuring cattle are living up to their full potential takes time and resources that can be hard to come by. On today’s episode we’re bringing you two interesting interviews from CattleCon25 thanks to our very own Shauna Hermel. ...
Have questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you! Would it be fair to say the cattle industry revolves around relationships? These bonds are visible in the relationship between buyers and sellers, the partnership producers develop with their veterinarian or nutritionist, and the team we hope cattlemen can lean on when it comes to succession planning. With all the experts available within our industry, why play the risk management game by your lonesome? On this episode of Angus at Work, ...
Have questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you! Females are the backbone of the U.S. cow herd, but how can we as cattlemen do everything within reason to help those females reach their full potential? On this episode we visit with a guest I always enjoy chatting with: Associate Professor and Extension Beef Cattle Specialist with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Jason Smith. Settle in as we discuss female-focused nutrition to ensure the pieces of the puzzle to support and develo...

Have questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you! Cattlemen are without a doubt one of the most resilient groups of people on the planet.

Have questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you! While estate planning is likely to rank low on activities that bring most of humanity joy, agriculturalists need to devote time to getting their transition plan right. But how do we go from broaching the topic of estate planning with loved ones to setting in motion an iron-clad transition when the time comes? Luckily, Shannon Ferrell - professor of Agriculture Economics specializing in Agricultural Law at Oklahoma State - has more than a...
Have questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you! While policy related to the cattle industry is undeniably important, as producers we typically fall into one of two camps: those of us who understand the importance of beef policy but who have seemingly one million things also requiring our attention back at home and those of us who derive great pleasure in the happenings related to beef in our home states and in Washington. No matter where your preference lies, every four years like clo...
Have questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you! Welcome to a brand new season of Angus at Work!

Have questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you! When considering the genetics you're currently using in your own herd (or those you're planning to use moving forward), a major challenge arises when bulls from multiple breeds are considered for the role of herd sire. While in the past across breed expected progeny difference (EPD) comparisons might have been valid cause to pull your own hair out, researchers at the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (MARC) in Clay Center, Neb., have fli...
