What does it actually take to make money raising cattle? In this episode of The Landowner Insider, Kasey Mock sits down with Texas cattleman Wesley Wood for a practical conversation about the economics behind the cattle business—from cattle prices and feed costs to break-even numbers, risk, efficiency, and knowing when to buy, hold, or sell. With calves around $2,000 and cows reaching $5,000, there is more money at risk in the cattle business than ever. Wesley explains why knowing your true cost of production and break-even matters, how he evaluates opportunities, and why the cheapest decision isn't always the most profitable one. Kasey and Wesley also dig into cost of gain, feed yard efficiency, interest, facilities, cattle quality, market timing, and the shrinking U.S. cow herd—and what those factors can mean for producers trying to operate profitably. In this episode: How to think about profitability in the cattle business Why ranchers need to know their true break-even Cost of production and cost of gain How Wesley decides which cattle to buy, feed, hold, or move Why eliminating the bottom 10–15% of cattle quality changed his operation $2,000 calves, $5,000 cows, and managing more capital at risk Feed costs, interest, facilities, and operational efficiency The shrinking U.S. cow herd and today's cattle market Calculated risk versus simply playing it safe Why "scared money don't make money" only works when you understand the numbers This isn't about gambling on cattle. It's about understanding the numbers well enough to recognize an opportunity and make an informed decision when it appears. Whether you raise cattle, own a ranch, manage agricultural land, or want to better understand the business behind livestock production, this conversation offers a practical look at the economics driving today's cattle industry. Follow The Landowner Insider for conversations about Texas land, ranching, agriculture, markets, business, and the people shaping the future of our state.

Lameness can quietly reduce milk production, cow welfare, and dairy farm profitability. In this episode of The Moos Room, we examine how a difficult, wet spring prompted our dairy to make routine hoof trimming a priority for both its grazing and confinement herds.Since 2019, every cow—including lactating and dry cows—has been trimmed twice a year, with hoof problems carefully recorded. The results have been substantial: the percentage of cows with hoof issues declined from 15.6% during the first whole-herd trimming to just 2–3% during the past two spring trimmings. Thin soles and toe ulcers have nearly disappeared, white line disease has declined, and antibiotic use for lameness has fallen.Learn why grazing cows still benefit from routine trimming, how common hoof lesions affect cattle, and why partnering with a hoof trimmer to establish a consistent maintenance schedule can improve cow longevity, employee satisfaction, and farm profitability.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

This episode features Nebraska cattle producer Rylee Blomenkamp, who discusses how her family’s operation manages a diverse mix of cattle, including feeder calves, yearlings, bred cows, open cows, bulls, and other opportunistic purchases. A central theme is the importance of identifying value in different classes of cattle and adapting management strategies to changing market conditions. Rylee explains that their operation succeeds by remaining flexible and taking advantage of opportunities that arise in local auction markets rather than focusing on a single type of livestock. The discussion highlights the role of detailed recordkeeping in evaluating profitability across multiple enterprises. Rather than treating the operation as one large business unit, the family tracks expenses, feed costs, and returns for different classes of cattle, allowing them to determine where value is being created and which enterprises are most profitable. Experts emphasize that even cow-calf producers can benefit from separately evaluating replacement heifers, cull cows, and feeder calves to improve decision-making. The group also discusses the importance of keeping cattle separated by age, size, and production purpose to better manage health and nutrition. Different groups require different feeding programs, health protocols, and marketing strategies, making thoughtful organization critical to success. Nutritional management is tailored to each class of cattle, from growing calves to bred cows and finishing animals, helping maximize performance while controlling costs. A key takeaway is that successful producers combine strong records with practical experience, using both data and market awareness to guide decisions. Ultimately, the episode emphasizes that having a plan is important, but maintaining flexibility and adapting to changing conditions is often what creates long-term profitability and sustainability.

After a busy week showing dairy cattle at the county fair, Brad explores research on the dairy cow's 12-month biological clock. Using data from 332 Western U.S. dairy herds, the study examined how region, breed, housing, organic management, and BST use influence seasonal patterns in milk production, components, dry matter intake, and feed efficiency. Despite differences among herds, annual rhythms remained remarkably consistent: milk components peaked in winter, dry matter intake peaked in February, and milk production generally peaked in spring. The findings suggest producers and nutritionists should compare herd performance across seasons—not just from one month to the next—and work with cows' natural biological rhythms when evaluating production changes and planning diets. Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

This episode features a discussion with several Beef Cattle Institute researchers who share updates on current projects aimed at improving cattle health, welfare, and production efficiency. Topics include new technologies for semen evaluation, investigations into feeding patterns associated with interstitial pneumonia and liver abscesses, machine learning tools for detecting pain in cattle, and research on how water quality affects livestock performance. These projects highlight the growing role of technology and data analysis in solving practical problems faced by producers. The group also addresses a listener question about weaning calves from large grazing allotments where producers have limited opportunities to handle animals before weaning. Rather than focusing solely on vaccines or medications, the discussion emphasizes reducing stress through strategies such as favorable weather conditions, low-stress weaning methods, gradual adaptation to feed and water sources, and thoughtful management of the overall system. A major segment focuses on pain management in cattle and how attitudes toward animal welfare have evolved over time. The panel discusses procedures such as castration, dehorning, branding, dystocia management, and prolapse repair, noting that pain mitigation can improve welfare even when production responses such as average daily gain are difficult to measure. Researchers argue that producers should consider broader outcomes, including animal comfort, health, recovery, and public expectations for livestock care. The conversation emphasizes that many producers genuinely want to provide the best care possible and are often willing to use pain-control tools when practical options are available. Ultimately, the episode highlights the value of systems thinking, continuous research, and proactive management in advancing both cattle well-being and industry sustainability.

In this episode of Farm4Profit, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig returns to the studio for a conversation that covers nearly every major issue impacting producers today. Mike begins by sharing how he balances his role as Secretary of Agriculture with remaining involved in his family's fourth-generation northwest Iowa farm. He discusses growing up around corn, soybeans, and hogs, how the family operation has evolved, and why having one foot in production agriculture continues to shape the way he approaches his job. The conversation quickly turns to one of agriculture's biggest uncontrollable variables: weather. Iowa farmers have dealt with derechos, excessive rainfall, flooding, drought, and increasingly severe weather events. Mike explains why risk management, infrastructure, crop resilience, and better monitoring tools are becoming even more important as producers try to manage events they simply cannot control. The crew also talks openly about the mental and financial pressure farmers are feeling. Tight margins, extreme weather, policy uncertainty, and growing public criticism of agriculture are all piling up at the same time. Mike says he has noticed increasing frustration among producers who feel they are being blamed for problems while already operating under significant financial stress. Water quality becomes a major part of the discussion. Mike breaks down Iowa's nutrient reduction efforts, progress on phosphorus, ongoing nitrate challenges, and the state's new “Farm to Faucet” approach. That effort includes increased nitrate treatment capacity, expanded water monitoring, conservation funding, cover crop incentives, streamside buffers, and more than $50 million targeted toward conservation practices in the Greater Des Moines Watershed over the next 12 years. The group also tackles one of Iowa's most controversial conversations: whether agriculture is being unfairly blamed for cancer rates in the state. Mike stresses that the issue is complex and should be driven by research rather than politics. He points to known risk factors including radon, smoking, alcohol use, obesity, and sun exposure while also supporting continued research into environmental and genetic factors. From there, the episode moves into biofuels and new revenue opportunities. Mike discusses Iowa's growing use of E15, the economic benefits ethanol provides consumers, the potential of 45Z, and why future clean-fuel programs could create additional revenue streams for farmers if measurement and reporting requirements can be made practical. One of the biggest opportunities Mike sees for Iowa is cattle. With the U.S. cow herd at historically low levels, Mike believes Iowa has room to grow beef production—especially by identifying row crop acres that are underperforming because of slope, erosion, wetness, or poor soil productivity and converting those acres into pasture or forage. He explains how the state's cattle and conservation programs are already helping connect landowners with livestock producers while supporting fencing, water access, pasture establishment, and even virtual fencing. That conversation naturally leads into the next generation of agriculture. Mike and the Farm4Profit crew discuss how livestock can create a realistic entry point for young producers who may have labor and ambition but lack capital. They explore ideas around financing, conservation incentives, access to land, custom farming, direct-to-consumer agriculture, specialty crops, and off-farm income as ways to create more opportunities for young people to build a future in agriculture. Mike also shares his view that profitability has to remain at the center of every agricultural conversation. Conservation, technology, diversification, and policy only work if the farm itself can remain financially viable. He discusses input costs, market development, trade, Farm Bill uncertainty, E15, and the many pieces that have to come together for producers to succeed. The episode also looks ahead to Iowa's changing political landscape, Mike's 2026 reelection campaign, the role of the Secretary of Agriculture, animal disease preparedness, food safety, pesticide regulation, and why Iowa agriculture remains one of the state's greatest economic strengths. The conversation ends with a question Farm4Profit hears everywhere: How does a young person get into farming? Mike's answer is simple—there is no golden ticket. But there are more paths than ever. Livestock, direct-to-consumer sales, custom application, drones, seed sales, specialty crops, custom farming, and other farm-adjacent businesses can all provide a foothold. His message: farming has never been easy to enter, but agriculture should work to make sure it doesn't become unnecessarily harder. This episode is a wide-ranging look at where Iowa agriculture stands today—and what farmers, policymakers, and rural communities need to think about next. Want Farm4Profit Merch?

Feelings are running high amongst farmers in Northern Ireland over a cull of 51 cattle. It was carried out in June by a humane slaughter team from the Department of Agriculture Environment and Rural Affairs in County Tyrone. The government said it was a final resort after a court ordered that the farmer who owned them should be ‘deprived of the ownership of all farmed animals' because of a previous animal welfare conviction. The cull has proved extremely controversial. It's claimed it was visible to members of the public and some question why the animals had to be killed at all. Hundreds of farmers protested outside Stormont, home of the Northern Ireland Assembly. The Daera minister has now ordered an investigation into how it was handled. Rain has been in short supply this summer with the driest July ever recorded in England and Wales. Some rivers are flowing at exceptionally low levels. Shallower rivers heat up more quickly and the water temperature in places is far higher than usual which can be disastrous for fish and other aquatic life. There've been reports of several incidents of fish deaths. We ask the Angling Trust how bad the situation is.All week we're looking into commercial salad production.

Drought can leave horse owners facing tough decisions. Do you keep grazing what's left? Feed more hay? Hope for rain? Or could some of the things you're hoping to get by with, make your pasture take even longer to recover? On this episode of the Beyond the Barn podcast, host Katy Starr chats with returning guest expert and a listener favorite, Dr. Krishona Martinson, Equine Extension Specialist at the University of Minnesota, about protecting pastures and feeding horses during a drought including: Why one common pasture mistake can impact recovery long after the drought ends When feeding more quality hay is actually the smartest management decision The simple measurement that tells you whether your pasture is ready for horses or other livestock to get back to grazing From knowing when to pull horses off pasture to understanding why brown grass isn't always what is seems, Dr. Martinson shares practical, research-backed strategies that can help you make confident decisions when pasture becomes limited and keep a strong Forage Foundation for your animals, even in a drought.

This episode previews new U.S. dairy genetic evaluations scheduled for release by the Council on Dairy Cattle Breeding on August 11, 2026.Two new calf-health traits will measure genetic resistance to diarrhea and respiratory disease in Holsteins and Jerseys. Positive predicted transmitting abilities indicate greater resistance. Although these traits have relatively low heritability, they may help producers gradually improve calf health, reduce treatment costs, and avoid the long-term productivity losses associated with early-life illness. Continued, accurate recording of calf health events will be essential for strengthening these evaluations.The episode also explains revisions to several fertility traits, including daughter pregnancy rate, cow conception rate, heifer conception rate, and early first calving. The updated models better account for modern reproductive management, including longer and variable voluntary waiting periods, synchronization programs, sexed and beef semen, and automated monitoring systems.A new trait, first service to conception, measures the number of days between a cow's first breeding and conception. Unlike daughter pregnancy rate, it is independent of a herd's voluntary waiting period and may be particularly useful on farms that establish breeding eligibility for individual cows.The host remains skeptical about how dramatically the revised models change historical fertility trends—especially daughter pregnancy rate, which now appears to have improved rather than declined over the past 25 years. Producers are encouraged to examine how the August evaluations affect bulls they currently use, while considering calf-health and fertility traits as additional selection tools rather than replacements for sound management.Questions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory

It closes previous loopholes by ensuring that animals are 100% American from pasture to plate. Voluntary vs. Mandatory: The updated label is completely voluntary for companies to use, but those who choose to use it must maintain strict records to support their claims. The mCOOL Push: MCOOL would make labeling country-of-origin mandatory for all beef sold in grocery stores rather than just letting companies choose. Supporters argue it is necessary for consumer transparency, while major industry groups like the Meat Institute argue that mandatory rules cost the supply chain more than $1 billion annually.   Feeder Cattle Sale Dates & Deadlines August 10 - 11: Western Video Market Little America Sale August 17 - 21: Superior Livestock Auction Big Horn Classic Sale August 24: Superior Livestock Auction Labor Day Catalog Deadline August 28: Superior Livestock Auction Labor Day Video Deadline September 2 - 3: Superior Livestock Auction Labor Day Sale September 7: Western Video Market Haythorn Ranch Consignment Deadline September 14: Northern Livestock Video Fall Premier Sale September 15: Western Video Market Haythorn Ranch Sale Featured Experts in the Cattle Industry Trent Stewart – Superior Livestock Auction https://superiorlivestock.com/ Follow on Facebook: @SuperiorLivestockAuction Chip Kemp – 701x https://www.701x.com/ Follow on Facebook: @701x.inc Shaye Wanner – Host of Casual Cattle Conversation https://www.casualcattleconversations.com/ Follow on Facebook: @cattleconvos Contact Us with Questions or Concerns Have questions or feedback?

What if cattle could help restore degraded land, increase biodiversity, improve water cycles, and even produce more nutrient-dense food? This week, regenerative rancher Alejandro Carrillo joins us from the Chihuahuan Desert of northern Mexico to explain how holistic grazing transformed his family's ranch from bare, compacted ground into thriving grasslands teeming with life. Alejandro describes the surprisingly simple management changes that allowed nature to begin healing itself—and why he believes many of the world's degraded landscapes can recover as well. Alejandro explains how healthy soil functions like a sponge, why weeds are often nature's first responders, and how carefully managed herds can improve water infiltration, increase plant diversity, and support wildlife ranging from migratory birds to predators. He also shares fascinating research suggesting that regenerative grazing may produce exceptionally nutrient-dense beef rich in beneficial compounds rarely measured in conventional food analyses. Along the way, we discuss the importance of working with nature rather than fighting it, how regenerative ranching can help ranchers remain profitable while improving the land, and why Alejandro believes this approach offers hope not only for farmers and ranchers, but for anyone concerned about the future of our food, our health, and the environment.
