Dr. Allen Williams (Understanding Ag and Regenified LLC)is back with us today as he walks us through several things that can increase productivity and profitability through your grazing management. From the initial management in the early part of the grazing season, to the rule of Compounding, rule of Disruption, a great discussion on weeds and we'll conclude with a practice that is quite simple, but we rarely practice that ties the entire discussion together. Grab your pen and paper because grazing school is now in session… and this one you don’t want to miss.

Today on the Working Ranch Radio Show we are covering three things. First Dr. Rick Machen with the King Ranch Institute for Ranch Management joins us as we discuss some exciting modifications they’ve made to their Master’s Program in Ranch Management… especially for those current college students that will be getting an undergraduate degree with aspirations of a Master’s Degree in Ranch Management. Plus they have a Wildlife Management Seminar coming up in August for those interested in adding that type of enterprise to your operation. And while I have Rick on the line, I want to get his take on the Mexican Screw Worm situation. Then Meteorologist Don Day will join us as we take the second half of the show to get his extended weather outlook for the summer as we go region by region across the country. And finally, we haven’t heard from the Captain in a while, the Captain Tim O’Byrne drops in for a T2¢.

The Common Ground Summit… a meeting of 40 people across the country. These 40 represented various segments of the cattle industry. These 40 were comprised of what some might say would be small non-influential family operations to large influential registered operations, family feed yards, or sale barn owners. If these 40 where a herd of cows… the term Heinz 57 comes to mind. But their purpose was simple. Find common ground and unanimous consent on some industry issues in hopes of starting the ball rolling. The group came up with 6 issues that they all unanimously agreed on. So today, Renee Carrico and Joe Fischer… two of the participants join me as we discuss how the meeting went, how did they come to the list of six agreed upon issues, what about the big topics that have divided the industry, and was this just a onetime feel could kumbaya moment. Sure, there are some big topics that I hope will eventually be addressed, however in the meantime, and I don’t know about you, but I’ve become sick and tired of the continued divisiveness in the industry, the ego’s, the fear mongering, and attitudes of “my way or no way”. No matter your view on the outcome of this meeting… today’s show is for you. If you good with outcome of the meeting and what you perceive it doing for the industry… listen in. If you’re frustrated because you think the meeting was phony and didn’t address the issues you thought were important, then this show is for you as well.
