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.

Meteorologist Don Day is my guest today as he offers his Fall and Winter 2025 Weather Outlook… and all the key factors that play a role in our weather in 2024 are completely different than last year. We’ll first take a general view of the weather outlook, then will work across the continent by regions, and finally some general conversation about the spring of 2025. While he is mostly optimistic for the areas that saw drought in 2024 there are some areas that could go either way.
