Podcasts about beef cattle

In this episode of From the Pasture with Hired Hand, we sit down with Russell Freeman of Freeman Ranch, located in Yoder, Colorado. With roots dating back to 1899 under the ownership of Russell's great-grandmother, Carolyn Freeman, the Freeman brand carries over 120 years of history, tradition, and dedication to quality ranching.Russell and his wife Jamie, along with their three sons Whitt, Henry, and Jack, continue the family legacy—balancing day-to-day ranching duties while raising top-quality horses and Texas Longhorn cattle. From responsibly raised, drug-free beef that serves the Front Range of Colorado, to champion Longhorn genetics like Winning Honor, measuring an incredible 93 inches tip-to-tip and ranked among the top four in the world, the Freeman Ranch story is one of heritage, hard work, and excellence.Join us as we talk about the Freeman family's deep ranching history, their cattle and horse operations, and how they continue to uphold the values and vision set more than a century ago.http://www.thefreemanranch.com/Send us a textFrom the Pasture with Hired Hand:Hired Hand Websites (@hiredhandwebsites): https://hiredhandsoftware.comHired Hand Live (@hiredhandlive): https://hiredhandlive.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiredhandwebsites/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HiredHandSoftwareTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hiredhandwebsitesNewsletter: https://www.hiredhandsoftware.com/resources/stay-informed

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. David Villar, a co-author on the paper “Diagnostic findings of copper, selenium and manganese deficiency in dairy and beef cattle submitted to the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory” published online first in the Bovine Practitioner.  This episode of Have You Herd? is sponsored by Boehringer Ingelheim and their 360°  coverage mastitis portfolio. Every lactation cycle, cows are up against the threat of mastitis. Which really means you're up against it, too.  Thankfully, Boehringer Ingelheim has you covered with 360° coverage solutions. From prevention to treatment options designed for judicious antibiotic use, the 360° coverage mastitis portfolio has the products you need to defend udders at every angle. What's in your cattle health toolkit? Experience the power of complete mastitis care at this link.  Villar provides information on the importance of micromineral nutrition of beef and dairy cattle health. This study looked at submissions to the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory (CAHFS) to evaluate the disease processes and pathogens identified along with micromineral analysis. The primary objective of this study was to determine if the correlation patterns of hepatic Cu, Se, and Mn for disease in the CAHFS diagnostic database at different ages would be similar for beef and dairy cattle.  Villar discusses the results from the study which identified that 33% of beef cattle were deficient in CU, 46% were deficient in Se, and 41% were deficient in both. In dairy cattle, very few animals had deficiencies, indicating appropriate micromineral ration balancing and intakes. The number one disease seen in beef was bovine respiratory disease (BRD) with a median age of 8 months. Of these, 68% were deficient in Cu, Se or both, and most had a history of transportation and commingling. Although BRD was also frequently diagnosed in dairy animals, the median age was 90 days. Salmonella Group D was the next most frequent disease in deficient dairy animals. This paper identifies the importance of micromineral deficiencies and correlations with diseases. There are significant opportunities for veterinarians, especially involved with beef cattle, to address micromineral nutrition programs and monitoring.  Diagnostic findings of copper, selenium and manganese deficiency in dairy and beef cattle submitted to the California Animal Health and Food Safety Laboratory.

Beef Cattle News Beef Market Uncertainty Fueled By Tight Supplies & High Prices According to Texas A&M Agricultural Economist David Anderson, the beef sector is entering a prolonged period of tight supplies and sustained high prices, and any meaningful herd expansion remains elusive.   Anderson said that calf prices have reached record levels, with 500- to 600-pound steers in the Southern Plains averaging $4 per pound, but instead of retaining heifers to grow the herd, producers are largely “taking the money and running.”   The shift toward expansion, when it happens, could lead to a temporary sharp decline in beef production, as fewer heifers are sent to feedlots. Anderson pointed to the upcoming Cattle on Feed report, which will include a quarterly update on heifers versus steers on feed, as a key signal.   Another headwind for beef production is the ongoing closure of the U.S.-Mexico border to imported feeder cattle due to screw worm concerns. Anderson said the loss of 26,000 head per week is equivalent to 4% of the U.S. calf crop and about 18% of feeder placements in the Southwest, with significant regional impacts.   The effects of that shortfall are already being seen, Anderson said, as steer and heifer slaughter continue to fall below year-ago levels. While heavier carcass weights have helped offset declining numbers in recent years, Anderson expects weights to dip below 2024 levels due to shorter feeding periods and fewer days on feed.   Anderson said that dynamic of fewer cattle and lower weights will continue to tighten beef supplies and support high prices. Prices for 50% lean trimmings have reached record highs amid strong demand for ground beef.   While retail prices typically dip after summer highs, Anderson said overall price levels will remain elevated. He forecast quarterly declines in beef production through 2026, citing fewer calves, a smaller cow herd and the absence of imported feeders.   Even if herd expansion begins now, Anderson said, the biology of the cattle cycle means any supply increases are years away. “We're already talking four years out before you even see increases in beef production,” he said.

EPISODE 52 DETAILS Could H5 Bird Flu Hit Our Beef Cattle Herds? Vet Says Beef Producers Must Step Up With H5 Testing A leading scientist and veterinarian, Kay Russo, warns the beef industry to start monitoring for H5 bird flu crossover from infected dairy herds. Speaking on the MeetingPod podcast, Russo noted that while the virus was first detected in dairy cattle in March and has since impacted poultry farms and workers, there's limited data on beef cattle. Russo, with a DVM from Cornell and a master's in avian health from the University of Georgia, emphasized the importance of testing beef cattle for antibodies now that a validated test exists. She stressed, "We can only manage what we know, and this virus isn't going away. For the complete article click HERE. New Suspected H5 Cases In Humans Reported In Washington State Health officials suspect that a strain of avian influenza linked to poultry operations has reached Washington State. The Washington State Department of Health (WSDH) reported four agricultural workers in Franklin County tested positive for H5 after working with infected birds at an egg-laying farm. About 800,000 birds were culled after testing positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). The workers, who had mild symptoms, received antiviral treatment, according to WSDH.   For the complete article, click HERE.     SPONSORS Trans Ova Genetics https://transova.com/ @TransOvaGenetics American Gelbvieh Association https://gelbvieh.org/ @AmericanGelbvieh Allied Genetic Resources https://alliedgeneticresources.com/ @AlliedGeneticResources Axiota Animal Health https://axiota.com/ @MultiminUSA Jorgensen Land & Cattle https://jorgensenfarms.com/ @JorLandCat Ranch Channel https://ranchchannel.com/ @RanchChannel   Questions & Concerns From The Field?

Diseases like bovine respiratory disease (BRD) kill an estimated 8 million calves annually and create serious challenges for the cattle industry. Each year BRD alone costs the US cattle industry upwards of $1 billion. As we hear today, a new tool for producers' toolboxes may be on the horizon.  Joining us today is Dr. Shafiqul Chowdhury, professor at Louisiana State University's School of Veterinary Medicine. While not yet cleared for use, Dr. Chowdury has developed a vaccine for bovine respiratory disease for cattle thru the application of new technology. He joins us today to those details.This episode is sponsored by United Animal Health, a leader in animal health and nutrition.

In life, there are talkers and doers.  Of the doers, many of them have a characteristic known as “True Grit,” and today's podcast guests are in that category.Millie and Stacy Bradshaw own Dry Creek Livestock, and a few hours north of Salt Lake City, these two intrepid souls are building a place to call home on the windswept plains and low hills of Utah.  On their ranch you'll find a range of critters, including goats (for meat and milk), cattle (for beef), livestock guardian dogs (for the previous two) and - periodically – mountain lions (because apparently ranching is just too easy in Utah).   Millie and Stacy know more than the average farmer about the plant life that surrounds them, and they use that and their livestock in a way that works with nature to build something out of this lonely land.We hope you join us today for a talk with two modern-day pioneers (and a few comments from the always wonderful Tom Boyer), who are building a patch of land into a place to call home.  It's something right out of a western movie, but these are the real heroes – even without the star billing.Links:https://www.instagram.com/dry.creek.livestock/https://www.premier1supplies.com/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt17505010/?ref_=ls_t_4https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1883_(TV_series)https://www.nps.gov/state/ut/index.htmhttps://heyexplorer.com/29-things-utah-is-known-and-famous-for/https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/582124/how-did-sand-come-to-mean-courage-pluckhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt1403865/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0065126/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2Support the Show.

Beef production continues to be restrained, but cattle are growing in physical size, thanks to cheap corn. Pricing has taken a pause this week with increases coming soon.Chicken production and demand continue strong. Pricing is moving higher on all products except breasts, which are steady. No new cases of Avian Flu were reported in birds, but two more states have reported the illness in dairy cows.Pork pricing continues to be favorable for now. Look for a big move higher in bellies this summer. In the meantime, pork is a great protein value.Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Steve Montgomery of Lamppost Farm is our guest on today's podcast, coming to you from a stop on the Devon Congress pre-tour - Columbiana, Ohio style this time.  Steve and his family raise Devon Cattle, Coopworth Sheep, pigs, turkeys and a partridge in a pear tree (okay, no partridges, but there are more chickens than you can safely count).  Their goal is to make and teach connections between living things, but the annual flock of Lamppost interns can tell you that they learn how to do the sweaty part on the farm as well.  These are just plain good solid people who open up their hearts and farm to those in need, wanting to make a difference.  As the Narnia bunch would tell you, when life gets rough, it's always lovely to have someone who's willing to leave the lamppost burning so others can find their way home.  C.S. Lewis would be proud. Links:http://www.lamppostfarm.com/https://whatnerd.com/movies-with-hidden-meanings-deeper-metaphors/https://iep.utm.edu/plato/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platohttps://historycooperative.org/norse-mythology/https://greekgodsandgoddesses.net/gods/https://greekgodsandgoddesses.net/gods/apollo/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._S._Lewishttps://www.cnn.com/style/article/keep-calm-poster/index.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chronicles_of_Narniahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._R._R._Tolkien Support the show
