#️⃣ How wrong can a sequence of numbers be?
Un WhatsApp che sembra arrivare da Carlo Messina, poi una telefonata con una voce clonata e documenti apparentemente “in regola”: così vengono autorizzati 11 bonifici per circa 95 milioni di euro da Fideuram (gruppo Intesa Sanpaolo) verso conti esteri, secondo le ricostruzioni giornalistiche. Qui non c'è un “sistema informatico bucato”: l'attacco prende di mira la catena fiduciaria, duplicando i punti di accesso umani (capo, avvocato, firme) che normalmente sbloccano eccezioni e urgenze.Il punto non è trovare il colpevole “da spy story”, ma capire perché l'organizzazione resta vulnerabile quando la procedura si interrompe ai piani alti e si riduce a una voce, un volto, una relazione. I controlli interni riescono a fermare parte dei trasferimenti e a ottenere recuperi/congelamenti, ma il caso mostra quanto l'AI (clonazione vocale, documenti credibili, orchestrazione su due fronti) renda scalabile la frode “CEO fraud/BEC”.La lezione operativa è semplice e scomoda: l'alfabetizzazione antifrode deve partire da board, AD e presidenze, dove l'eccezione diventa norma. Callback su numeri noti, parole d'ordine fuori banda e processi non aggirabili valgono più di qualunque rassicurazione al telefono.00:00 WhatsApp e bonifici urgenti02:03 Voce clonata e documenti04:24 Attacco su due fronti05:37 Stop interno e recuperi07:39 Indagini, precedenti e schema11:04 Il criminale è atmosferico14:17 Punti di accesso e fiducia18:43 Contromisure e cultura aziendale#Fideuram #CarloMessina #ClonazioneVocale #AIassisted~~~Ciao Internet! - Il primo e più seguito canale di TECH POLICY in italia, con Matteo FloraINFO E AZIENDE: https://matteoflora.comIl CORSO di AI: https://zero.matteoflora.comNewsletter: https://link.mgpf.it/nlSocial: https://io.matteoflora.comEnglish: https://www.youtube.com/@CiaoInternetPrivacy » https://privacy.matteoflora.comAI Policy » https://privacy.matteoflora.com/aiMail #adv: sales (at) matteoflora.com

Beefmaster Cattle Work For South Dakota Rancher South Dakota ranchers Dan & Jessie Hotchkiss were disappointed in weaning weights and calf health in the fall. After trying several different breeds of bulls on their Angus base cowherd, they decided to try Beefmaster bulls from ISA Beefmasters and have never looked back. Beefmaster is a breed that was developed in the 1930's by Tom Lasater in South Texas to maximize economic traits like hardiness, fertility, adaptability, and weight. The breed consists of approximately 50% Brahman, 25% Hereford and 25% Shorthorn. Beef Cattle News Beef Imports: Facts Behind the 300,000-Metric-Ton Plan Recent plans to allow up to 300,000 metric tons, or 661 million pounds, of additional beef imports into the U.S. tariff-free have created plenty of attention—and misinformation. According to Derrell S. Peel, Oklahoma State University Extension Livestock Marketing Specialist, the U.S. has imported beef for decades, mainly to supply lean beef used in ground beef products. Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Mexico have been major suppliers, while Brazil has recently grown into the number-two source. Beef imports are up 12.9 percent so far in 2026, as domestic beef production continues to decline. About 68 percent of imported beef is lean trimmings used as ingredients in ground beef, especially for fast-food restaurants. Imported beef now makes up an estimated 39 percent of the beef used in ground beef production. Brazil is expected to benefit the most from the tariff changes. However, experts say the U.S. is unlikely to import the full additional 300,000 metric tons. The policy may shift where imports come from, with South American countries gaining market share. But the increase in total imports is expected to be smaller than the announced amount. And when it comes to grocery store ground beef prices, the impact is expected to be limited. REFERENCE: https://meatingplace.com/peel-understanding-beef-imports/ Cattle Prices Rise, But Packer Margins Keep Growing Cattle prices moved higher last week, but beef packer profits continued to rise. According to Sterling Marketing's Beef Profit Tracker, the average packer margin for the week ending September 12 was $177.16 per head. That's up from $170.76 the previous week. Steady beef cutout values and a $2-per-head increase in drop credit helped support packer margins. Slaughter was down 21,000 head, mainly because of the Labor Day holiday. The average five-area direct fed steer price rose to $222.82 per hundredweight, up from $219.04 the week before. That helped reduce feedlot losses. Feedlots lost an estimated $307.19 per head, compared with nearly $329 the previous week. Feeder cattle prices also moved higher, gaining nearly $7 per hundredweight the week ending September 11th. REFERENCE: https://meatingplace.com/beef-packer-margins-gain-despite-bump-in-cattle-price/ Tyson Reshapes Beef Business as Cattle Supplies Remain Tight Tyson Foods says its smaller beef processing network will help the company manage tight cattle supplies and prepare for the future. Chief Financial Officer Curt Calaway recently said cattle herd rebuilding is happening, but more slowly than in some previous cycles. Tyson has closed or put plants up for sale this year in Illinois, Nebraska, and Washington state. The company is now focused on three major beef plants: Dakota City, Nebraska; Holcomb, Kansas; and Amarillo, Texas. Tyson also hopes to restore a second processing shift as Mexican cattle gradually move through stocker operations and feedlots. Calaway says the company is focused on improving plant efficiency, managing product sales, and meeting consumer demand for seasoned, marinated, and case-ready beef products. He added that more cattle and continued reopening of the Mexican border could help Tyson in the future.

*This episode is part of a wider partnership with Gatineau Skincare*In this episode I'm chatting to the amazing Heather Berry. Heather is the Sales and Marketing Director of Gatineau Skincare and a woman who I have been getting to know over the last few months. (She's funny, outspoken and authentic...a true Outspoken Beauty!) During the episode Heather tells me the story of Jeanne Gatineau, a woman who was way ahead of her time and founded her business in the 1930's when she was in her mid 40's. Jean was an aesthetician who truly understood skin and her legacy lives on to this day. We go on to explore what makes Gatineau such a special brand .... the science, the independent clinical trials, the feel of the products, the excellent results AND the way it uplifts women. This is a brand that I rate incredibly highly and the more I use it the more I don't want to be without it. We'll talk you through some of their icons and explain why they're so good.Keep listening as you'll also hear from four members of the Outspoken Beauty Trialling Panel. We've had 100 Outspoken Beauties trying the new Multi-Acid Resurfacing Pads and Bec, Zara, Lucy and Lauren will be giving their honest thoughts about them.This is a great episode about one of my favourite skincare brands. I hope you enjoy getting to know them.
This week we share some wildlife encounter survival stories that will have you watching the water, and then we offer practical tips for desensitizing young horses to new surroundings, dogs, noises, and unfamiliar experiences. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Outdoor News: Alligator Attack and Close Shark Encounter Florida alligator attack leaves woman without right arm A 58-year-old Florida woman, Dina Rae Spann, lost her right arm in an alligator attack on the Silver River in Marion County on August 8, 2026. Spann was swimming with a group when the alligator grabbed her. She fought to keep it away from her legs and eventually escaped, but suffered severe injuries to her right arm and left hand. Boater John Gamache and his father heard calls for help and rushed over. The approaching boat appeared to scare the alligator away. Gamache then used rope from his boat as a makeshift tourniquet to slow Spann's bleeding while they got her to first responders. Spann's family says she was back home and in good spirits the next day. Wildlife officials temporarily closed the river and later removed a 9-foot-8-inch alligator from the area. The river has since reopened. Gamache said the incident was unlike anything he had seen during his years visiting the Silver Springs area. Reference: https://www.foxnews.com/travel/boater-scared-off-alligator-used-rope-stop-bleeding-florida-woman-lost-arm Mississippi fisherman escapes close encounter with large shark A Mississippi fisherman had a frightening encounter with an estimated 8-foot shark while wade-fishing for spotted seatrout near Biloxi on August 15. Eric McNally was standing on a shallow sandbar when he felt something tugging on the floating bag holding his fish. He looked down and saw a large brown shark biting the bag. The shark rolled, briefly becoming tangled in it, with its tail coming out of the water just inches from McNally's face. A fishing buddy captured the encounter on video. McNally considered kicking the shark away, but it eventually freed itself and swam off. He then backed toward his friend while watching for the shark and stomping his feet, which he says can help discourage sharks from approaching wading anglers. McNally says sharks are common in the area, especially during the warmer months when baitfish are plentiful. He believes schools of bluefish and ladyfish feeding near the surface can create commotion that attracts larger sharks. The fishermen continued taking precautions, including using nets to remove fish from hooks rather than reaching into the water with their hands. McNally says summer wade-fishing can be especially risky because large sharks are more abundant — and help may be far away if someone is injured Helping Young Horses Adjust to New Surroundings The same principle of gradual exposure applies when working with young colts and horses. A horse's reaction to something unfamiliar is often driven by instinct. A barking dog, a new building, a tarp, farm equipment, or an unfamiliar noise can appear threatening to a horse that has never encountered it before. Desensitizing a horse isn't about forcing it to accept something frightening. The goal is to introduce new experiences gradually while allowing the horse to remain calm and learn that the unfamiliar object or situation does not pose a threat. Start With a Calm Environment Begin training in a familiar, controlled location. Work with the horse when it is relaxed and when you have enough time to proceed without rushing. Introduce one new stimulus at a time. For example, if you want a colt to become comfortable around dogs, don't begin with a barking dog running toward the horse. Start with a calm dog at a safe distance. Allow the Horse to Observe Give the horse an opportunity to look at the unfamiliar object. Horses often need time to process something new. Avoid immediately pulling the horse toward the object. Instead, maintain a safe position and allow the horse to investigate at its own pace. When the horse relaxes, quietly reward the calm behavior. And lastly, end on a High Note. Even if it was only 15 minutes of time together, a success is a success. Introduce Dogs Carefully Dogs can be particularly challenging because they move unpredictably and make sudden noises. If introducing a horse to a dog: Keep the dog under reliable control. Begin with plenty of distance between the animals. Keep the dog calm and prevent chasing or barking at the horse. Allow the horse to observe the dog without pressure. Gradually decrease the distance only while both animals remain calm. End the session before either animal becomes overwhelmed. A young horse that learns to remain calm around a stationary dog may still react when that same dog suddenly runs or barks. Those situations should therefore be introduced separately and gradually. Most importantly, prior to introducing your dog to new horses, you must have very good control (or a handle) on the dog. Build Confidence, Not Fear Good desensitization teaches a horse that unfamiliar things can be investigated without panic. Repetition matters, but so does timing. Short, successful sessions are generally more useful than pushing a horse until it becomes frightened or exhausted. Handlers should also remember that safety comes first. A frightened horse can move suddenly, kick, rear, or bolt. Anyone working with an inexperienced horse should maintain an appropriate escape route and avoid putting themselves between the horse and something it perceives as threatening.

New Mexico Takes Action After New World Screwworm Detection New Mexico officials and ranchers are stepping up efforts to deal with New World screwworm after the parasite was found in a horse in Grant County. It's the state's second confirmed case this year. The discovery surprised some cattle producers because Grant County is about 100 miles north of the Mexican border. Earlier this year, screwworm was also found in a dog in Lea County. Meanwhile, the Santa Teresa cattle crossing is scheduled to reopen Thursday, after being closed for nearly two years because of screwworm concerns in Mexico. Before the closure, between 3,000 and 3,500 cattle crossed there each day. Officials say the shutdowns at Santa Teresa and Columbus have cost New Mexico ranchers billions of dollars in cattle trade. The USDA is also releasing about 1.8 million sterile flies each week along the border. The goal is to reduce the population of fertile screwworm flies and slow the spread of the pest. Ranchers say cattle entering through the reopened crossing will go through inspections, treatment, dipping, and other health protocols. With cooler weather approaching, producers hope conditions will become less favorable for screwworm flies. If everything goes as planned, the Columbus crossing could reopen in about a month. For livestock infected with New World screwworm, the FDA has authorized ivermectin as a treatment. REFERENCE: https://www.koat.com/article/new-mexico-detects-second-case-of-new-world-screw-worm-in-grant-county/73828676 Diesel Prices Put Pressure On Producers U.S. diesel prices have jumped sharply this year, reaching about $6.29 a gallon in mid-September, up more than 80% since January. The higher prices are adding to costs for farmers, ranchers, and truckers. Some lawmakers are calling for limits on diesel exports, while analysts question how much that would lower prices. Tyson Foods says higher energy costs will also be passed along to customers.

Julie welcomes back Rebecca (Bec) Van Zutphen and Dr Heath Fraser, co-founders of AirSmile, for their first appearance since 2021. A lot has changed since then. AirSmile started as a patient-facing marketplace connecting people with dentists (now sitting at over 15,000 patients), and has since expanded into secure, compliant ways for practices to send sensitive patient information.The conversation covers two newly launched features: a digital record release tool that replaces the old paper form and email chase-up when requesting patient records from another practice, and a secure correspondence platform built for sending x-rays, treatment plans and other sensitive data without relying on non-compliant tools like Dropbox or standard email. Bec and Heath unpack just how exposed dental practices are when it comes to data breaches (healthcare tops the list of notifiable breaches in Australia), why human error accounts for so many of them, and why the old habits of emailing records around are riskier than most practices realise. They also touch on what's ahead for hyper-compliance in healthcare and why building secure systems now will save a lot of pain later.Find out more at airsmile.com.auInterested in taking your personal, team, and dental practice to the next level?

Learn latest trends such as CDs are making a comeback, TSA PreCheck expands airport access, we share how a horse trainer demonstrates snake desensitization, and a simple watering trick may help potted mums last longer. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! A Little Retro, a Little Practical CD Sales Surge in 2026 as Younger Listeners Rediscover Physical Music Compact discs are making an unexpected comeback in the United States—and nostalgia may be only part of the story. CD sales jumped 58.6 percent during the first half of 2026, reaching $171.1 million, according to the Recording Industry Association of America. Americans bought about 17.5 million CDs, a 45.7 percent increase from the same period last year. The revival comes as streaming continues to dominate music listening. Streaming generated about $4.9 billion during the first six months of 2026, or roughly 82 percent of the recorded-music market. At the same time, physical music is growing. Revenue from physical formats, including CDs and vinyl records, rose nearly 26 percent to $731.5 million. One major factor behind the CD surge is the popularity of collectible K-pop albums. These releases often come with special packaging, photo cards and other physical extras that give fans something to collect—not just music to play. But the increase goes beyond K-pop. Even after excluding special-edition releases, CD sales were still up 6.7 percent. The comeback also fits into a larger retro-technology trend among younger consumers. Gen Z shoppers are showing interest in older technologies such as digital cameras, typewriters, flip phones—and now CDs and vinyl. For some younger buyers, the appeal may be having a more tangible and controlled way to experience technology, without the constant notifications, apps and algorithms associated with modern devices. Still, the music industry isn't ready to declare CDs back for good. CD sales actually fell 7.8 percent in 2025, with unit sales dropping from 33.3 million to 29.5 million. So, is this a lasting revival or a temporary spike driven by a few popular releases? The answer may become clearer when the RIAA releases its full-year 2026 numbers. For now, the compact disc is spinning again—and a new generation is discovering something many people thought had disappeared for good. TSA PreCheck Gateside Program Lets Non-Travelers Enter Airport Terminals Beyond Security According to the Transportation Security Administration, a new program called Gateside by TSA PreCheck allows eligible TSA PreCheck members to enter airport terminals beyond the security checkpoint—even when they are not flying. The program is free, but visitors must apply one to three days before their planned visit. Eligible visitors use their Known Traveler Number, or KTN, to apply. If approved, they can enter through the airport's TSA PreCheck lanes after showing an acceptable ID and, when requested, proof of approval. The program is designed for people who want to say hello or goodbye to family and friends at the gate, meet someone during a long layover, or enjoy restaurants and shops inside the secured terminal. Children can also participate, but they must be included on a parent or guardian's reservation. Gateside is currently available at 13 airports, including Los Angeles, San Diego, Las Vegas, Dallas-Fort Worth, Detroit, Columbus, Indianapolis, Salt Lake City, and Mesa Gateway. TSA says the program is expected to expand to additional airports. There are some restrictions. Access may be limited during busy periods, and visitors must follow the same airport security and conduct rules as ticketed passengers. Violations can result in removal from the airport or other penalties. One important distinction: Gateside is specifically designed for eligible TSA PreCheck travelers and provides access through TSA PreCheck lanes. People using other airport or airline visitor passes generally must go through standard security screening. Overall, TSA says Gateside is intended to bring back some of the traditional airport experience—allowing people to spend time with loved ones at the gate even when they aren't traveling.

One trainer recently shared a Facebook demonstration showing a young horse being introduced to a non-venomous snake. The goal of this type of desensitization is to teach the horse not to panic when it sees or smells a snake. At the same time, responsible training should not encourage a horse to investigate snakes on its own. The broader lesson is about teaching a calm response while maintaining a healthy distance from potentially dangerous wildlife. Safety note: Snake desensitization should be handled by an experienced professional. Never place a horse or person at unnecessary risk by using a venomous snake. How To Help Potted Plants Like Mums Last Longer Potted mums and other mature seasonal plants can sometimes dry out quickly, particularly when their root balls have become very dry. One suggested watering technique is to place the plant's root ball in a bucket of water for 30 minutes to a couple of hours, allowing the lower roots and soil to absorb moisture thoroughly. After soaking, remove the plant, allow excess water to drain, and plant it as usual. Continue normal watering afterward. For mature seasonal plants, avoid automatically adding fertilizer. If the plant is already fully grown and nearing the end of its seasonal display, fertilizer may not be necessary and excessive fertilizer can damage roots OUTDOORS FIELD REPORTS & COMMENTS We want to hear from you!

There is something you came here to create. A book. A business. An idea. A body of work. A message. A different life.But at some point, if you want to bring that thing into the world, you actually need to be seen.In this episode of DREAM MAKERS, Claire Byrt sits down with Bec Sands, author of What You Came Here to Create, visibility mentor and PR consultant, for a bloody good conversation about what it really takes to stop hiding, start creating and become more confidently visible.And no, the answer is not waiting until you magically feel confident enough.Bec shares her own journey from being terrified to go live on Instagram to launching a book, doing radio interviews and becoming the person who can handle being seen. We talk about why confidence is built through action, how to create evidence that you are capable, what rejection is really bringing up, the relationship between visibility and safety, and why being seen can become an act of service rather than self-promotion.We also go right into the reality of building a creative business and meaningful work over time. Starting before you know exactly where it is going. Taking the next step instead of crushing yourself under the weight of the whole dream. Learning to problem-solve when things don't work. Staying in the game. And remembering that ultimately, we're not just creating a book, business, brand or offer. We're creating a LIFE.If you are a dreamer, creative, entrepreneur, author, coach or human with something inside you that you know you want to bring into the world, this conversation is your reminder: you do not need to be completely ready. You do not need to know how it all unfolds. You need to start, keep moving, and build the self-trust to know that whatever happens next, you can handle it.Because the world cannot experience the thing you came here to create if you keep it hidden.Connect with Bec: https://www.becsands.com/ https://www.instagram.com/becsands get the book https://www.cameheretocreate.com/ GET YOUR COPY HERE.

Every clinic owner has systems somewhere - scattered across drives, buried in inboxes, or still living in their head. The real problem isn't creating them. It's getting your team to actually use them.In this episode of the Grow Your Clinic podcast, Ben Lynch sits down with Bec Clare and Jack O'Brien to unpack how to build a clinic that doesn't rely on you to answer every question. Bec takes us inside PhysioWest's Allie account in a live screen share - showing exactly how she's structured her onboarding playbooks, segmented resources by team role, and drip-fed content to new starters so they're not overwhelmed on day one. Jack shares why he'd start every systemisation effort with revenue-generating processes first, and introduces the idea of Allie as your practitioner management software - not just a document library. And Bec drops the mindset shift that changes everything: document versus create. Instead of carving out hours to write the perfect policy, just hit record next time you do the task.If your clinic runs on you, this episode shows you how to start changing that - one system at a time.In This Episode You'll Learn:
From reeling in giant fish and hunting alligators with sonar to have you heard about Gen Z bringing helicopter parents to job interviews? Plus I share an incredibly easy breakfast recipe for home or while at hunting camp. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Reeling in the Biggins: Fish & Alligator Adventures Father Lands West Virginia Record Catfish While Fishing With His Son A West Virginia father was hoping to catch a small catfish for his 4-year-old son to reel in. Instead, he landed a 72.75-pound blue catfish and set a new state record. Tyler Harmon was fishing the Ohio River near Ravenswood with his young son, Walker, and his own father, Rodney. The three generations had been using cut creek chub minnows when one of their rods suddenly bent. Tyler quickly realized he had hooked a very large fish. He battled it for about 20 minutes, trying to keep his 40-pound line away from underwater brush and the boat's anchor line. When the fish finally reached the boat, young Walker thought his dad had caught a big shark. Tyler's father helped net the fish, and they pulled it aboard. The family suspected it could be a state record, so they took the fish to a nearby bait shop and kept it alive in an aerated tank overnight. The next day, a West Virginia fisheries biologist officially weighed and measured it. The blue catfish weighed 72.75 pounds, measured nearly 48 inches long, and had a girth of 33.5 inches. That was enough to break the previous West Virginia catch-and-release record of 71 pounds. After the official weigh-in, Tyler released the giant catfish back into the Ohio River near where it was caught. And Walker now knows that what looked like a shark was actually a new state-record catfish. Reference: https://www.outdoorlife.com/fishing/west-viriginia-record-blue-catfish/ High-School Angler Helps Find 11-Foot “Cannibal” Gator A Mississippi high-school bass fisherman used his fishing skills — and forward-facing sonar — to help his family locate two alligators during a recent hunt. Sixteen-year-old Tatum Ceckahrulli, a junior at St. Martin High School, has used sonar for years while fishing. His family decided to try the technology to locate alligators in the Pascagoula River area of south Mississippi. On the first night, the family used sonar to find a nearly seven-foot gator. They snagged it and brought it back to shore to process the meat. The next night, they were looking for something bigger. While traveling through a bayou, Tatum and the group saw a huge splash. They soon realized a large alligator had killed and was feeding on another gator about seven feet long. The hunters waited for the big alligator to surface. After one failed attempt, Tatum hooked it again. The group eventually secured the animal with heavy tackle and a snare. The alligator turned out to be about 11 feet long. Getting it into their 17-foot boat was a challenge, and the normally 15-minute trip back to the ramp took about an hour because of the extra weight. Tatum believes the large gator was old and in poor condition. It had very few teeth and was extremely thin — possibly explaining why it attacked and ate the smaller alligator. The meat from both animals was processed and shared with family and friends.

How about if this trend affects those entering the job market for the first time? Helicopter Parenting Takes a New Turn According to News Nation, career experts say more young adults are turning to their parents for help navigating a difficult job market — in some cases, even bringing Mom or Dad along to job interviews. Career coach Sarah Johnston says parents have shown up at job fairs, contacted recruiters on behalf of their children and, occasionally, tried to intervene after a child was dismissed from a job. A survey by resume service Zety found that one in five Gen Z job seekers had a parent attend a job interview with them. Experts say the trend has grown since the pandemic. Johnston says many parents may be stepping in because today's job market is very different from the one they experienced. Young workers face longer job searches, layoffs and new pressures from artificial intelligence and social media. For employers, Johnston recommends keeping the focus on the job candidate. If a parent shows up or calls on behalf of their adult child, hiring managers should politely redirect the conversation to the candidate. She says that while the behavior can seem excessive, many parents are simply trying to help their children succeed in a challenging job market. Statistics: 20% (Zety Survey): A study of over 1,000 Gen Z workers found that 20% had a parent actually join a job interview—15% in person and 5% virtually. Parental overinvolvement often extends past the interview room itself, Fox News: 63% of parents have submitted job applications for their children. 53% to 54% have emailed or called hiring managers directly. 21% of candidates had a parent contact a recruiter directly on their behalf. 10% had a parent negotiate a job offer. How do Hiring Managers feel or think when a parent is involved, according to Forbes? The moment a parent shows up, the panel stops assessing the candidate and instead starts asking something entirely different. “How could this person ever meet with a client alone, run a meeting, or take feedback without backup?” Forbes also reported, helicopter parenting is linked to higher anxiety and depression in emerging adults, alongside weaker self-regulation and lower belief in their own capability.

Now What? The Easiest Breakfast Recipe You'll Ever Make A Quick Breakfast Anyone Can Make: Simple Ingredients, Big Breakfast Flavor EASY RECIPE: Caramel Rolls Meets Monkey Bread BEC's Carmel Roll Monkey Bread Instructions and Ingredients Preheat Oven to 350℉. Use a 9x13” baking dish or tin foil pan (my preference). Grease a baking dish or pan well with Non-Stick Cooking Spray. Ingredients: 2 Cans of Pillsbury Flaky Grands Biscuits. 1 Cup of Flavored Coffee Creamer (Substitute: Vanilla Ice Cream) 1 Cup of Brown Sugar 1 Cup of White Sugar 1 Cup of Butter 1 Tsp Vanilla *********************** ½ Cup Sugar 2 Tbsp Cinnamon In a pot on Medium Heat melt the butter, stirring frequently while adding in the Brown and White Sugar, Vanilla. The combination should melt together nicely, then add the Flavored Coffee Creamer (or vanilla ice cream.) Once bubbling, set the pot off to the side to cool. Take the 2 cans of biscuits. Open and pull apart each biscuit, then peel them apart into equal halves. Cut these circles of dough into four (4) pieces. In a large bowl with a lid cover add the cut flour dough pieces, sprinkle the ½ cup sugar and 2 TBSP of Cinnamon. Place the lid securely on the bowl and SHAKE, TOSS, and Shake. The dough pieces should all be equally coated in the cinnamon/sugar mix, if sticking together - break apart and repeat placing the lid and toss, shake again. Take the pot of Carmel, pour ⅓ into the bottom of the well greased dish or pan. Spread until the whole bottom is covered. Then take the coated dough pieces and cover the bottom of the pan with the dough. Pour the remaining Carmel Sauces over the top of the dough. Bake in oven for 25-30 minutes at 350℉, checking frequently after 25 minutes so as not to burn. Take out of the oven once the tops are starting to turn dark brown. While cooling, take a ¼ cup of butter and cut thin slices, placing on top to melt - spreading the melted butter around the whole top. ENJOY!! Pull apart caramel rolls anyone can make! One last note - I use Caramel Macchiato creamer, however use your favorite. Pumpkin Spice creamer, Hazelnut Creamer, or Pecan and toss in some chopped Pecans. Yum Yum!

Label Our Beef Petition Available for MCOOL The National MCOOL Coalition is launching a new petition calling on the White House and Congress to restore mandatory country-of-origin labeling, or MCOOL, for beef. The coalition represents farm and ranch groups, rural organizations, consumers, and other agricultural interests. The petition is called “Label Our Beef.” It comes after President Donald Trump temporarily increased the quota for lean beef trimmings by 300-thousand metric tons. That's more than 660 million pounds of additional beef imports allowed between September first and November 30th. The move comes as the U.S. is already importing record amounts of beef, and follows an earlier increase in the beef import quota from Argentina. The MCOOL Coalition says those additional imports make country-of-origin labeling even more important. Supporters say consumers should be able to tell the difference between beef from cattle born, raised and harvested in the United States, and beef produced somewhere else. There is also growing support for MCOOL in Congress. Earlier this month, the Senate Agriculture Committee voted 17-to-6 to advance mandatory country-of-origin labeling as part of the Farm Bill. The coalition is now asking cattle producers, consumers, and supporters of American agriculture to sign and share the petition. Farm Action Fund President Joe Maxwell says if Washington is going to allow hundreds of millions more pounds of imported beef into the country, consumers should at least have the right to know where that beef came from. R-CALF USA President Dave Hyde says MCOOL would give Americans the ability to choose a true product of the USA. And the Coalition for a Prosperous America says every year Congress fails to restore MCOOL is another loss for American ranchers and consumers. The message from the coalition is simple: Label our beef, let consumers decide, and let American ranchers compete.

This Saturday at 1:30 Pm eastern time, right here Rural Radio Channel 143 or the SiriusXM App. Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. Gelbvieh Cows Rise To The Top Data from the U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (USMARC) shows that Gelbvieh females rank #1 for percent retail product. The 2025 Across-Breed EPD (Expected Progeny Difference) Table, released by the Beef Improvement Federation (BIF) and compiled by geneticists Larry Kuehn and Mark Thallman at the USDA U.S. Meat Animal Research Center (USMARC), provides key performance benchmarks for the Gelbvieh breed compared to other beef breeds (using Angus as the baseline). Additionally, historical and cumulative USMARC Germplasm Evaluation (GPE) data highlights several notable performance characteristics of the Gelbvieh breed. Key Performance Benchmarks Moderate Mature Size: In USMARC multi-breed evaluations, Gelbvieh stands out for having a significantly reduced and moderate mature cow weight (averaging roughly 145 lbs lighter than the Angus baseline). This moderation helps lower herd maintenance costs, making Gelbvieh females highly efficient feed converters. High Yield & Carcass Retail Product: Historically, Gelbvieh has ranked #1 for percent retail product among major evaluated beef breeds in USMARC progress reports, proving their exceptional carcass yield efficiency. Maternal Performance: Gelbvieh continues to rank in the top tier for average maternal milk ability, combined with reaching puberty at the youngest age and lightest body weight of the major Continental breeds. 2025 USMARC Across-Breed EPD Adjustment Factors for Gelbvieh To compare a Gelbvieh bull's EPD directly to an Angus bull, commercial producers use the specific USMARC adjustment factors. The 2025 adjustment factors for Gelbvieh relative to an Angus baseline of 0.0 include: Birth Weight: +2.9 lbs (Gelbvieh maintains the lowest birth weights among the major Continental options) Weaning Weight: -15.5 lbs Yearling Weight: -27.1 lbs Maternal Milk: +8.2 lbs Marbling Score: -0.37 Ribeye Area: +0.66 sq. in. Fat Thickness: -0.066 in. Carcass Weight: +1.5 lbs JBS Executive Met With Trump One Day Before Beef Import Announcement New reporting is raising questions about the timing of a meeting between a major JBS shareholder and President Donald Trump. According to The Wall Street Journal, Joesley Batista, a major shareholder in Brazilian meatpacker JBS, met with Trump at the White House on August 20th. The meeting reportedly included discussions about whether lowering the 26-percent tariff on Brazilian beef could help reduce high U.S. beef prices. The meeting happened just one day before Trump announced a major expansion of tariff-free beef imports. On August 21st, Trump announced that up to 300-thousand metric tons of beef, or about 661 million pounds, could enter the U.S. over the next 90 days without the additional tariff. Trump said the imported beef would be sold at 25 percent below current market prices. The administration says the move is designed to give consumers some relief from high beef prices while American ranchers rebuild the nation's cattle herd. But cattle groups are concerned. U.S. Cattlemen's Association President Justin Tupper says additional imports could hurt the market signals that are encouraging ranchers to rebuild their herds. National Cattlemen's Beef Association CEO Colin Woodall also says the policy could trade long-term herd expansion for short-term price relief. Montana Farmers Union President Walter Schweitzer says the 300-thousand metric tons sounds like a lot, but represents only about 2 percent of annual U.S. beef consumption. Schweitzer says the bigger concern is how packers and buyers could use the additional supply to pressure cattle prices. The timing of the Batista meeting has also drawn attention because JBS is one of the four largest beef processors in the United States. JBS is headquartered in Brazil but has a major presence in the American beef industry. The reporting does not establish that Batista caused or influenced Trump's decision to expand tariff-free beef imports. The administration had already been looking at ways to increase beef supplies and lower consumer prices. Meanwhile, Trump has also been criticizing consolidation in the beef packing industry and calling for ranchers to have more opportunities to process their own cattle. The bigger question for cattle producers is whether increased imports will actually lower prices for consumers — and whether those imports could weaken the market incentives ranchers need to rebuild the American cattle herd.

It's called the Ranchers First Initiative, and USDA says it builds on the Trump Administration's plan announced last October to strengthen the American beef industry. The initiative focuses on five major areas. First — Helping Ranchers Keep More Heifers USDA is creating a new insurance option called the Beef Retention and National Development, or BRAND, endorsement. The goal is to make it easier for ranchers to keep heifers for breeding instead of sending them to the feedlot. The program would provide insurance protection for the economic value of keeping that heifer as part of the breeding herd for up to two years. Second — Helping Ranchers Recover After Disasters USDA is expanding the use of the Emergency Conservation Program, or ECP, on certain Grassland Conservation Reserve Program acres. That means ranchers could use the program to rebuild fences, water systems and other critical infrastructure after wildfires and other natural disasters. The goal is to get ranches back up and running faster and help protect the nation's cattle inventory. Third — Expanding Local and Regional Beef Processing USDA is expanding its efforts to strengthen smaller, regional beef processors. A new SPUR Guaranteed Loan Program will help processors expand, create cooperatives and increase processing capacity. USDA is also creating a Regional Processor Continuity Effort to help small and mid-sized processors stay in business and become more resilient. The department says nearly 20 percent of current beef processing capacity could become available as the cattle herd grows, creating an opportunity for more American-owned processors and cooperatives. Fourth — Putting More American Beef in Government Food Programs USDA says it will prioritize American-raised beef in federal food purchasing. That could include beef purchased for places such as prisons, hospitals, schools and other government institutions. The goal is to increase demand for American beef while supporting U.S. ranchers and locally owned processors. And Fifth — Bringing More New Ranchers Into the Business USDA says it will expand support for beginning and veteran farmers and ranchers. New producers can receive help through FSA loans, conservation programs, livestock insurance and other resources. USDA also plans to work with the Department of War and the Department of Veterans Affairs to help servicemembers transition into careers in agriculture. Secretary Rollins says the overall goal is simple: rebuild the Great American Beef Herd, strengthen independent ranchers and make sure more American cattle operations can be passed on to the next generation.

Trump says the idea is designed to reduce the power of the country's largest beef processors. In a social media post Friday, August 28 Trump said he has directed legal documents to be prepared that would give farmers and ranchers more freedom to process their own livestock. But the details of the plan are still unclear. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says USDA plans to announce changes that could include removing outdated regulations, waiving some requirements and making it easier for ranchers to sell meat across state lines. The administration may also provide more support for small meat processors. But the Meat Institute says ranchers already have several options, including custom processing and state or federally inspected facilities. The group warns that allowing uninspected meat to be sold commercially could put food safety and consumer confidence at risk. The National Cattlemen's Beef Association agrees, saying weakening federal meat inspection standards is not the answer. The South Dakota Cattlemen's Association is also opposing the idea. The group says producers can already process animals for their own use, but generally cannot sell uninspected meat commercially. Their message is simple: food safety is not red tape, and consumer confidence is not optional. Trump's proposal comes just one week after his announcement allowing an additional 300-thousand metric tons of imported grinding beef into the United States without the additional tariff. Cattle groups have opposed that move as well, saying more imported beef could pressure cattle prices and discourage ranchers from rebuilding the U.S. herd. Trump says both policies are aimed at lowering beef prices for consumers while helping American ranchers.

M and W Beef Packers in Mandan has been in business for more than 50 years, and the three current owners are now retiring. The company was founded in 1974 by Wesley and Vita Moore and has operated continuously ever since. The sale includes the company, a 7-thousand-square-foot USDA-inspected processing plant, a separate garage and shop, and all of the equipment. And despite the owners' decision to retire, the business has been growing. Revenue more than doubled over a three-year period through 2024, reaching 4-point-4 million dollars. The company reported an annual growth rate of more than 20 percent during that time, with gross margins near 24 percent. M and W processes and supplies beef, pork, lamb and bison to restaurants, hotels, grocery stores and institutional customers. Its products are distributed through major companies including Cash-Way, Sysco and US Foods. The company also produces its own Dakota Trails brand of seasonings, which are sold at more than 13 regional retail locations. M and W Beef Packers has been an independent meat processor serving ranchers and customers across the Northern Plains for more than five decades. Now, with the current owners retiring, the future of this long-standing Mandan business is up for grabs.

Farmers, ranchers, volunteer firefighters and hunting access are more connected than you might think. We share this week our own recent scary fire on the ranch in the old farmyard and why supporting rural fire departments helps strengthen communities and builds relationships. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! When a Bird Becomes a Firestarter Some days start normally. Then, around noon, Tigger got a call that the place where he grew up was on fire. Yep. Definitely an Oh $hit Day. We arrived about 30 minutes later to find more than 40 friends, neighbors, and members of the Volunteer Rural Fire Department already fighting the blaze. One building was lost, a couple of others were damaged, and thankfully, the old farmhouse was spared. With the wind changing directions, it could have been so much worse. Tigger's dad, being Dad, immediately found the bright side. "Well, I guess we don't have to tear down that old building anymore." Problem solved. Sort of. What really stood out wasn't just the fire. It was the response. Neighbors showed up. Firefighters showed up. Equipment showed up. People offered trucks, water, machinery, manpower and whatever else might be needed. And they did it for a family that lives about 30 miles away. That's rural America. When something goes wrong, people don't always wait to be asked. They just show up. And we can't thank the New Salem Rural Fire Department firefighters and our neighbors enough. Then came the question: How did the fire start? A bird. That's right. An avian saboteur. The feathered little menace landed on a transformer, created an electrical arc, and apparently decided the ranch needed a little remodeling. Whether it was the bird or a piece of hot metal that hit the ground, the result was the same: buildings burned and a new family story was born. So, remember folks, check if you are under a burn ban. Apparently, somebody needs to explain that to the birds. Rural Fire Departments Need Rural America The humor helps us tell the story, but there's a much more serious point behind it. Rural fire departments are the people who show up when a grass fire jumps a fence, a combine catches fire, lightning starts a pasture blaze, or—apparently—a bird decides to conduct electrical experiments. And many of the people answering those calls are farmers, ranchers, landowners and other community members who volunteer their time. Across the country, volunteer firefighters play an enormous role in protecting rural communities. National Fire Protection Association data shows volunteer firefighter numbers have fallen dramatically—from roughly 898,000 in the 1980s to about 635,000 in recent years, a decline of more than 29%. At the same time, the threat isn't getting smaller. The U.S. Forest Service estimates that millions of acres of livestock grazing and pasture land burn each year. And recent wildfire seasons have shown just how quickly conditions can turn dangerous across the West. That creates a difficult equation: More fire risk. Fewer volunteers. More pressure on the people who remain. Supporting the People Who Protect Rural Land Rural fire departments are generally funded through a combination of local government support, state funding mechanisms, grants, insurance-related revenue and public donations. But firefighting isn't cheap. A single response can cost thousands of dollars, and a major incident can quickly climb into the tens of thousands—or more. That's why supporting your local rural fire department matters. You don't necessarily have to become a firefighter. You can donate. Attend the fundraiser. Buy a ticket to the fire department's annual event. Bid on the silent auction. Help with a fundraiser. Or simply ask your local department what they need. Every bit helps. And there's another reason this matters for those of us who hunt, fish and spend time on private land. Good Relationships Keep Gates Open Hunters depend heavily on relationships with farmers, ranchers and landowners. Those relationships aren't built by knocking on a door five minutes before opening morning and asking, "Can I hunt your place?" They're built over time. You show respect for the property. You follow the rules. You don't leave gates open. You don't drive where you're not supposed to. You pick up your trash. You say thank you. And sometimes, supporting the rural community that provides hunting access means supporting the people who protect that community. Rural landowners are often the same people volunteering at the fire department, donating equipment, hosting fundraisers, fighting grass fires and helping their neighbors. When hunters contribute to those communities—not just by asking for access, but by becoming part of the community around that access—it strengthens relationships. And strong relationships can help keep those gates open. The Takeaway That fire at the ranch could have been much worse. Instead, firefighters and neighbors arrived quickly, worked together and protected what they could. We got a reminder of something rural America already knows: When things go bad, your neighbors matter. So support your local rural fire department! If you hunt, fish or enjoy access to private land, support the farmers, ranchers and landowners who make those opportunities possible, too. And if you happen to see a bird sitting on a transformer... Maybe suggest it find another perch.

Trump Beef Import Plan Gets Support From Agriculture Secretary Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins is backing President Trump's plan to increase beef imports into the United States by temporarily suspending tariffs. Rollins made the comments during a visit to Nebraska, one of the nation's leading cattle-producing states. Speaking at an invite-only federal issues forum with Nebraska Senator Pete Ricketts, Rollins said President Trump is looking for ways to make food more affordable for American consumers. The plan would allow up to 300,000 metric tons of beef to enter the U.S. tariff-free, with much of that beef expected to come from Brazil. Rollins says that amount works out to less than two pounds of beef per American. She also defended the policy by saying food prices in the United States remain relatively low compared to other countries. Rollins' support marks a change from earlier this year. Back in May, the Trump administration considered suspending beef tariffs for 200 days. Reports at the time indicated Rollins pushed back on that proposal, and the plan was eventually halted. Now, Rollins is supporting the expanded import plan, even as several cattle organizations and some members of Congress oppose it. Rollins has also defended President Trump's broader trade policies, saying the current system is fundamentally broken and does not work for American farmers, ranchers, and agriculture.

Gurdip and Bec open the episode reflecting on the passing of actress and singer Shelley Fabares, who starred in three films with Elvis - Girl Happy, Spinout and Clambake - and sadly passed away on August 22, 2026. They also take time to remember beloved country singer-songwriter-actress Dolly Parton, who also passed away on August 25. For the main topic, they're looking back on the final official US Camden LP, 1972's "Separate Ways" which both of them owned in various formats over the years. Meant to emulate the success of "Burning Love and Hits From His Movies Volume 2" which paired a recent popular single with a hodgepodge collection of assorted other recordings, "Separate Ways" gave listeners who were unable to find the single otherwise the title track and "Always On My Mind" but is otherwise largely comprised of tracks from the early 1960s, with a couple 50s songs sprinkled in. Gurdip's Song of the Week invites everyone to "Come Along" as he spotlights the song featured over the opening credits of the 1966 film "Frankie and Johnny." Meanwhile Bec goes for the breezy "Where Do You Come From," which was recorded for the "Girls! Girls! Girls!" soundtrack (but not featured in the film) and eventually selected as the B-side to the much more famous "Return to Sender."

President Trump Announces 300,000 Metric Tons To Enter The U.S. In his statement last Friday, President Trump highlighted a 90-day agreement aimed at reducing ground beef prices, citing a significant increase in costs and a reduction in the American beef herd during the Biden administration. The plan involves importing up to 300,000 metric tons of ground beef without out-of-quota tariffs, with a commitment that this product will be sold at 25 percent below current market rates. He framed the deal as a measure to lower costs for consumers while supporting the rebuilding of the domestic beef herd. Producer, rancher, business owner, former president of the North Dakota Farm Bureau, and radio host Daryl Lies shares his thoughts by breaking down what this could mean for the U.S. cattle producer.

On this episode, Bec has been hard at work compiling information, sources and versions of songs in order to tell the history behind one of her all-time favorite Elvis songs: "What Now My Love." Originally written by French musician Gilbert Bécaud and lyricist Pierre Delanoë, "Et Maintenant" became beloved around the world both in its original language, and with its localized English lyrics by Carl Sigman. With research assistance from friend of the show Helene de Roux, Bec explores what nuances are lost in translation and what strengths are found in Elvis' interpretation to match the power and passion of Bécaud's original performance, as well as numerous other versions by artists across a multitude of genres and backgrounds. But before that incredible story, Justin and Bec also discuss the latest Elvis news hot off Elvis Week, with EPE's announced hologram show in Vegas, rock critic Dave Marsh's passing, and upcoming FTDs. Sadly, this episode was recorded JUST before the news broke about Shelley Fabares' passing, as well as Dolly Parton, so those will be addressed in the next episode. Plus, in his Song of the Week, Justin makes the case that 1970's "Cindy, Cindy," once relegated to the 1971 "Love Letters from Elvis" album has been overlooked as one of the finest, purest rock and roll recordings of Elvis' 70s era, with that song's history easily showcasing the interplay between black gospel and hillbilly folk music in the South that provided the musical blueprint for rock and roll.

Mexican Cattle Once Again Enter The United States The U.S.-Mexico border is officially back open for livestock imports, marking the first reopening in more than a year. On Monday, Mexican cattle were allowed into the United States through the Douglas, Arizona, port of entry. Two additional ports in New Mexico are expected to reopen over the next two months, assuming the New World screwworm situation does not worsen. But for now, reopening livestock ports along the Texas-Mexico border is not on the table. USDA closed the border in November of 2024 after screwworm reappeared in southern Mexico. A limited reopening was attempted in February of 2025, but imports were halted again in May as the pest moved rapidly north. The closure has been a major blow to Mexico's cattle industry. Before the screwworm crisis, the U.S. imported roughly 1.1 million head of cattle from Mexico each year, accounting for about five percent of total U.S. slaughter. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says the phased reopening is moving forward based on science and data, with measures in place to protect the U.S. cattle herd. The Douglas port opened Monday. Columbus and Santa Teresa, New Mexico, are expected to follow, with one opening in about 30 days and the other 30 days after that. Rollins says Texas ports will remain closed for now because that's where the most screwworm activity is being seen. Only two active cases remained in Texas as of Monday, although additional cases have been reported since the pest was first confirmed in South Texas in June. Early cattle volumes are expected to be limited. However, reopening the New Mexico ports could bring more significant numbers of Mexican cattle into the U.S. by this fall. And don't expect many of those cattle to head directly to U.S. packing plants. Historically, fed cattle have made up four percent or less of Mexican imports, meaning the impact on fed cattle supplies may not be felt until sometime in 2027.

Rebuilding The Nation's Cowherd Cowherd numbers along with cattle supplies are the lowest that they have ever been. However, producers are slowly rebuilding their herds paying close attention to genetics, economics, efficiency, and potential salvage value of cows. Cattle Industry News Tyson Closes Two Plants, Plans on a Third Tyson Foods is restructuring its beef business, announcing plans to close two facilities and look for a buyer for a third. The company will shut down its beef plant in Joslin, Illinois, and its case-ready facility in Eagle Mountain, Utah. Tyson also plans to sell its beef facility in Pasco, Washington. Tyson says it will concentrate its beef operations around three main plants in Dakota City, Nebraska; Holcomb, Kansas; and Amarillo, Texas. The company says production from the closed facilities will be shifted to other plants, and Tyson plans to eventually add a second shift in Amarillo as cattle supplies become available. Tyson says the move is a response to the historically tight U.S. cattle supply. Recent USDA inventory numbers show heifer retention remains limited, suggesting the cattle herd isn't rebuilding quickly. The closures are another sign of the pressure facing beef processors as fewer cattle are available and margins remain tight. Tyson says it will help affected employees find jobs at other company facilities, but has not said how many workers will be impacted. The company previously closed its Lexington, Nebraska, beef plant in January and reduced Amarillo from two shifts to one. Meanwhile, Cargill and JBS have also closed or repurposed beef facilities as the nation's cattle inventory remains historically tight. REFERENCE: https://meatingplace.com/tyson-to-close-two-beef-facilities-pursue-sale-of-third/ Cargill Fort Morgan Plant Set To Restart More than 1,700 workers at Cargill's beef plant in Fort Morgan, Colorado, are headed back to work after union members approved a new five-year labor agreement. The deal ends a three-month dispute that kept the plant shut down. Cargill says the facility will restart in phases, with workers returning on different schedules. Employees will first go through training and prepare equipment and production areas. The Teamsters say the full return-to-work process is expected to take about 30 days. Cargill locked out workers May 20th after union members rejected an earlier contract offer. The two sides spent months negotiating wages, benefits and other issues before reaching the new agreement. Cargill says cattle processing will resume once employees are trained, cattle supplies are available and the plant is ready. The Fort Morgan plant is a major beef processing facility, and its restart comes as the industry continues to deal with historically tight cattle supplies.

Nostalgia Comebacks: Things We Loved Then Are Back Again! From adult LEGO sets that are great for the mind and body, the return of '90s and early 2000s styles to the return of Analog Hobbies: crocheting, needlepoint to building model toys. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Nostalgia has a funny way of coming back around. From building LEGO sets at the kitchen table to choosing a favorite haircut from a magazine, many of the things we remember from childhood and young adulthood are finding new life today. Some are returning simply because they're fun, while others offer surprising benefits in a world dominated by screens and digital distractions. LEGO for Adults: Building Our Way Back to Childhood LEGO isn't just for kids anymore. Adult LEGO sets have become a popular pastime for people looking for creativity, relaxation, and a satisfying break from everyday routines. Why LEGO Is Good for More Than Nostalgia Beyond the childhood memories, working with small LEGO pieces requires hand-eye coordination, concentration, and fine motor skills. For older adults, hands-on activities that encourage dexterity can be an enjoyable way to keep the fingers moving as we age. My (Rebecca Wanner aka BEC) personal experience for wellness, was putting together many Lego Botanical flower bouquets. The Legos kept my fingers moving, allowed for deep concentration, and the ability to relieve stress. Goodbye, Columbia House: Remembering the Era of Mail-Order CDs Columbia House, the storied mail-order club that offered 12 CDs for a penny and transformed the way Americans listened to music, announced it will be shutting down after 71 years. The company has announced that as of Sep. 16, it will no longer accept new orders. Grandma and Analog Hobbies Are Having a Moment Traditional hands-on crafts like crocheting, knitting, needlepoint, and scrapbooking are dominating free time as a therapeutic screen antidote. Crafting stores are making it even simpler too and fun by offering kits for youth and novice to make their own crochet animals, fun needlework that can be framed or embroidery that could be applied to accessories. Hands on building sets such as model trucks to other fun projects are also popping up. Check your local hardware stores and lumber yards for these kits that are geared to encourage working with hands, following instructions and learning the reward of building something oneself!

South Dakota Livestock Inspection Fee Increase A South Dakota legislative committee has approved a 45-cent-per-head increase in the state's livestock ownership inspection fee. The fee currently stands at one dollar per head. The new fee will be one dollar and 45 cents for cattle, horses and mules moved into or out of certain South Dakota counties. Supporters say the increase is needed to keep the state's Brand Board inspection program financially stable. Officials say the program has required nearly 900-thousand dollars in transfers from the Brand Fund over the past two years to cover rising costs, including inspectors, personnel and mileage. The increase is expected to generate more than 600-thousand dollars in its first year, and about 675-thousand dollars annually after that. Some producers opposed the increase, pointing to drought conditions in western South Dakota and the added cost of moving cattle. The measure passed the committee five to one, with Senator Taffy Howard casting the lone vote against it. REFERENCE: https://www.sdpb.org/politics/2026-08-18/legislators-approve-increase-on-livestock-ownership-inspection-fee Pasture Conditions Remain Tough Across The Plains Pasture conditions remain a major concern across much of the country, with several key cattle-producing states reporting significant portions of their pasture in poor or very poor condition. According to USDA data for the week ending August 16th, Nebraska has the worst pasture conditions in the nation, with 73 percent rated poor or very poor. Colorado is next at 72 percent, followed by Wyoming at 71 percent. South Dakota and Utah are both at 66 percent, while West Virginia comes in at 62 percent. New Mexico is at 58 percent, Arizona at 56 percent, Oklahoma at 51 percent, and Arkansas rounds out the top ten at 48 percent. Nationwide, 48 percent of U.S. pasture and range is rated poor or very poor, including 22 percent rated very poor.

Cattle Industry News The Senate Agriculture Committee Will Get Another Shot At Moving The Farm Bill Forward Committee Chairman John Boozman of Arkansas says senators will return in September for another vote after the Farm Bill package failed to advance. Boozman says he expects the committee to vote on the same bill, and he believes Democrats could face pressure from farmers, ranchers and rural communities that want the Farm Bill completed. A major sticking point is SNAP, or food assistance. Democrats want to delay a requirement that states begin sharing the cost of SNAP benefits by two years. Boozman offered a one-year delay, along with other bipartisan provisions. The bill also ran into a numbers problem. Senator Mitch McConnell, who is on medical leave, was able to vote by proxy on amendments. But Senate rules don't allow proxy votes to determine whether a bill advances to the Senate floor. McConnell's absence, along with another Republican voting by proxy, helped prevent the bill from moving forward. During the markup, senators also approved an amendment bringing back mandatory country-of-origin labeling for beef, known as MCOOL. The vote was 16 to 7. It marks the first time the Senate has taken action on beef MCOOL since the 2008 Farm Bill. Boozman says getting the Farm Bill passed before the midterm elections will take a “miracle” — but says it can happen with cooperation. REFERENCE: https://farmpolicynews.illinois.edu/2026/08/senate-farm-bill-fails-ag-committee-to-vote-again-in-september/ Tight Beef Supplies Cut U.S. Exports, But Global Demand Remains Strong U.S. beef exports were down during the first half of 2026, as tight domestic supplies limited the amount of beef available for export. According to USDA data compiled by the U.S. Meat Export Federation, beef exports from January through June totaled about 546,000 metric tons, worth 4-point-74 billion dollars. That's a 9 percent drop in volume compared to the first half of 2025. But strong beef prices around the world helped limit the decline in export value to just 4 percent. The June numbers were actually more encouraging. Export volume was down less than 6 percent, while export value increased nearly 3 percent from June of last year. China continues to be a major challenge for U.S. beef. American beef has been almost completely shut out of China since March of 2025. Excluding China, U.S. beef exports are down just 1 percent, while export value is actually up 6 percent. Exports to some of the biggest markets were lower. Japan was down 8 percent, South Korea dropped 10 percent, Mexico was down 1 percent, and Canada fell 14 percent. But there were some bright spots. Hong Kong beef exports jumped 83 percent, while shipments to Taiwan increased 11 percent. USMEF President Dan Halstrom says global demand for U.S. beef remains very resilient, even with record-high prices. And with potential changes in China's beef import policies later this year, exporters see opportunities ahead — if trade barriers can be overcome. REFERENCE: https://meatingplace.com/tight-beef-supplies-weighing-on-us-exports/ Early Weaning Can Help Ranchers Beat Drought Drought is hitting many major cow-calf areas, and with summer heat spreading across the country, producers are looking for ways to stretch forage supplies. One option is early weaning. Calves can be weaned at around 90 to 120 days old, taking pressure off cows and pastures during late summer and fall. Zoetis veterinarian Dr. Jess Hinrichs says young calves can adapt quickly to dry lots, especially during the warmer months. Before weaning, calves should ideally be vaccinated two to three weeks ahead of time to give their immune systems time to respond. When it's time to wean, producers should provide shade, bedding and plenty of clean, fresh water. Young calves can dehydrate quickly in hot weather. Nutrition is also critical. Calves weighing less than 400 pounds need a high-quality diet with good forage, along with the right balance of energy and protein to support rumen development and growth. Dr. Hinrichs and nutritionist Dr. Blaine Corners recommend working closely with your veterinarian and nutritionist to develop an early-weaning plan. In a drought year, early weaning can help protect your cows, stretch your forage and keep those calves gaining pounds. Border Reopening Planned As Screwworm Safeguards Expend The U.S. is preparing to reopen part of the southern border to Mexican cattle later this month. The Douglas, Arizona, port is scheduled to begin accepting cattle from Sonora on August 24, following more than a year of restrictions tied to New World screwworm. Officials say cattle will face enhanced inspections, treatment, electronic identification and traceability requirements before entering the U.S. The reopening is expected to help restore cattle supplies to feedlots and border communities, while giving officials a chance to evaluate the safeguards before considering additional ports. Meanwhile, efforts continue to control and eventually eradicate New World screwworm, including expanded production and release of sterile flies. JBS Reports Lower Profits Despite Record Sales JBS reported record second-quarter sales of nearly $24 billion, but profits fell as high cattle and pork prices squeezed margins. Adjusted operating income dropped 34%, while the company reported a $102 million net loss, compared with a $528 million profit a year ago. JBS's North American beef business posted record sales, helped by strong beef prices and consumer demand. But tight cattle supplies pushed live cattle costs even higher, putting pressure on packer margins. JBS also announced its Pennsylvania beef plant will stop harvesting cattle August 14, but the facility will remain open as a case-ready operation, preserving about 400 jobs. The company says it plans to invest more than $30 million there over the next decade.

Three incredible recent outdoors survival stories plus a look at the legendary Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Stories of Survival, Courage and the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally Life can change in an instant. Discover three remarkable survival experiences—stories of courage, determination and the human will to keep going while in the outdoors. Each one offers a different perspective on what it means to survive, overcome adversity and move forward. Then, we shift gears and head to South Dakota for a look at the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, one of the most recognizable motorcycle events in the world. From the riders and motorcycles to the people, traditions and atmosphere surrounding the event, Sturgis represents far more than a rally—it has become a destination and a cultural experience for motorcycle enthusiasts. Football Player Gets Shocking Surprise Inside His Helmet A high school football practice in Maumelle, Arkansas, took a frightening turn when a player discovered a venomous cottonmouth snake inside his helmet. The student noticed something moving inside the helmet after warmups and handed it to an assistant coach. A roughly two-foot cottonmouth was found tucked behind the padding. The snake refused to leave, so police officers used water to coax it out and safely place it in a bag. Animal services later identified it as a cottonmouth and released it in a wooded area away from the school. Officials say the player had been wearing the helmet for nearly an hour and was fortunate not to be bitten. He simply switched to another helmet and returned to practice. The incident prompted the coach to remind players to inspect their equipment before putting it on—because sometimes the surprise hiding inside may be more than just a little dust or an insect.

Sarah Vida, her 9-year-old son Kayden Kovalcik, and Vida's cousin, Jazmin Hock, set out August 4, 2026 from the Maple Island Boat Launch in Newaygo County. When they failed to return, Hock's family became concerned. Vida's car was found at the launch with a broken window, prompting a major search involving drones, dogs and helicopters. The three were found alive Friday afternoon, August 7, 2026, after a Michigan Department of Natural Resources officer spotted footprints and heard their calls for help. They were located in thick woods about a quarter-mile from the Mill Iron Boat Launch in Muskegon County. Officials say the group had been in the wilderness for roughly 72 hours. Two of them had to be carried out, and all three were taken to the hospital. Kayden has since been released, while his mother and Hock remain hospitalized. The family says the group's pool-style rafts broke, leaving them stranded. Hock's phone eventually lost its battery, so they had no way to call for help. They had some protein bars and water, which they gave mostly to Kayden. Family members say the three also ate plants such as flowers floating on water, tree bark and other things, like ants, they could find while trying to survive. Despite the difficult conditions, they stayed together and continued looking for a way out. At one point, they heard traffic and tried to find a nearby road. Family members say the experience has been a powerful reminder about the importance of being prepared for outdoor trips.

The boat, carrying two male passengers, had become stuck on a large mud flat and remained immobilized for approximately 24 hours. A rescue attempt the previous evening using an amphibious SHERP vehicle was unsuccessful due to extremely deep and soft mud. Conservation officers with the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks (GFP) then deployed one of GFP's airboats to continue the rescue effort. With the help of a local landowner, officers were able to safely launch the airboat from a nearby shoreline and begin the five‑mile trip to the stranded vessel. Upon arrival, they coordinated with other first responders positioned on a bluff roughly half a mile away. Local Emergency Management personnel utilized a drone equipped with a speaker to relay instructions to the boaters, as conservation officers had no direct means of communication with them. This innovative use of technology played a key role in the rescue's success. Conservation officers navigated across the mud, reached the stranded vessel, and safely brought the two men aboard the airboat. The passengers were provided with water and transported back to shore, where EMS staff evaluated their con GFP conservation officers are frequently called upon to assist in challenging situations due to their specialized equipment, training, and experience. This incident highlights the importance of interagency teamwork between the state, the county and tribal personnel and the effective collaboration that leads to successful outcomes.

For the 86th Annual Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, August 7 through 16, 2026, the community welcomed roughly 500,000 visitors to the area. The city itself has a population of only about 7,100, making the Rally an extraordinary transformation for the community. For ten days, motorcycles fill the roads, Main Street comes alive, and riders from across the country and around the world gather to celebrate the freedom, camaraderie and culture of motorcycling. The Rally features rides, races, stunt shows, vendors, food and, of course, plenty of live music. But for many riders, the Rally is about more than concerts and motorcycles. It's also an opportunity to explore the spectacular Black Hills of South Dakota. Scenic motorcycle routes wind through the Hills, offering riders dramatic granite formations, forested roads and some of the region's most recognizable landmarks. A ride to Mount Rushmore is a favorite destination, with routes such as Iron Mountain Road providing memorable views along the way. The surrounding Black Hills offer countless opportunities to get away from the crowds and experience the scenery that has helped make the Sturgis Rally a bucket-list destination for motorcycle enthusiasts. For the town of Sturgis, the Rally is more than a massive annual gathering. It's a tradition dating back to 1938—and a celebration that continues to bring hundreds of thousands of people together in the heart of South Dakota.
