Podcasts about beef cattle

Dr. Andy Hart (Hale County) and Mark Carroll (Floyd County), County Extension Agents with Texas A&M AgriLife Extension recently interviewed Dr. Kara Thorton-Kurth for their "The Graze" radio program.  We thought it was good information and wanted to share it with you on this platform so that you would have an opportunity to listen.  Dr. Kara Thorton-Kurth is a researcher with Utah State University and has been looking at the impact of minerals on the growth, health, and quality of beef animals in Utah.  Some interesting discoveries and I hope you will gain from the discussion.  Thanks to Andy and Mark for reaching out to Dr. Thorton-Kurth. For more information please see the podcast episode (Ranch to Retail) with Dr. Smith created last spring along with dozens of other topics related to nutrition and cattle.  Thanks.  

Research is being done to breed a dairy-beef hybrid for meat consumption.

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
