Podcasts about Cattle

Florida was the last man standing so to speak when it came to mandatory fencing of cattle and when the law took effect in 1949 it marked the end of the open range grazing while ushering in a myriad of changes for Florida cowmen. In this episode of the podcast, we begin with a look back at what it was like to spend a week driving cattle across the state in the mid 1930's based on a firsthand account documented by Mr. Jesse Durrance. After that, we roll into the second half of the show and share some excerpts from the book Florida Cowman that touch on the range wars and other factors leading up to the enactment of Florida's Fence Law. We hope you enjoy this interesting firsthand cattle drive account and share it with folks who are unaware of our rich ranching legacy.

This week Mariann tears through the industry press so you don’t have to: an Animal Ag Alliance exec frets about “brand-busting” without ever explaining what it means, Oregon’s IP 28 gets branded an extremist plot for daring to remove cruelty-law loopholes, a horse vet insists carriage horses basically drive themselves, and ranchers wax poetic about breeding cattle too docile to complain.…

Greg McBride, Allendale, Inc. says grains consolidate on crop conditions and weather. Cattle continue to bounce. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode examines how heat stress affects water intake in dairy cows—and why farms must prepare their watering systems for increasingly hot weather.A review of studies from 1985–2024 found that Holstein cows producing roughly 65–70 pounds of milk averaged about 24 gallons of water per day under thermoneutral conditions. During heat stress, intake increased by approximately 10 liters, or 2–3 gallons, per cow per day. Each one-unit increase in the temperature-humidity index was associated with another 1.5 liters of water intake. Although heat-stressed cows produce less milk, they drink more because the additional water supports evaporative cooling and body-temperature regulation.Data from the University of Minnesota's dairy herd revealed a more complicated picture. smaXtec sensors showed that cows averaged around 23 gallons per day, but estimated intake declined during summer. Possible reasons include warmer drinking water, pasture water access, competition at waterers, and changes in drinking behavior. Cows generally drank only four or five times per day, consuming roughly 14–20 liters at each visit. Peak drinking also shifted from midafternoon in winter to around 7 p.m. in summer, often after milking.These patterns highlight the importance of examining when cows drink—not just daily totals. Farms should ensure adequate water flow, tank capacity, access, and cool water during peak-use periods. Sensor readings are most valuable when compared with each cow's normal behavior and interpreted alongside weather, milk production, rumination, health events, and management changes.The central message is that water intake can be a useful indicator of heat stress, but unexpected changes should prompt investigation rather than an automatic conclusion. As extreme heat becomes more common, dairy water systems must be designed for peak demand rather than historical averages.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 

Futures and cash continued their slide; boxed beef lower as well; cash feeders choppy/lower; Screwworm update.

As the heat is anticipated to return across the US, trade is working weather premium into the corn and soybeans. Wheat futures were lower despite strong fundamental support. Cattle finally had a move back to the upside with some technical buying. Sue Martin with Ag & Investment Services recaps today's trade.

*Cattle prices have been in a free fall.  *Cotton gins across Texas are receiving grant funds from the AgLink Continuity Grant Program.  *House Republicans are pushing for a $12 billion farm aid package. *Can planting newer corn hybrids allow farmers to use less nitrogen?  *The summer heat can bring a lot of challenges for hog producers.  *The EPA is considering a proposal that would eliminate DEF deratements. *Landscapes in Texas have changed a lot over the past few years.  *Breakover of the hoof is an important concept for horse owners to understand.  

Soybeans are pushing higher to start the week with corn up slightly as well. Cattle are also trying to end their losing streak to start the week. Arlan Suderman from StoneX joins us for our Midday Commentary on Monday.

This episode tackles two listener questions with significant implications for cattle producers. The first explores how increasing cattle carcass weights affect corn demand and feed efficiency. The discussion estimates that an average increase of 36 pounds in carcass weight requires roughly 257 additional pounds of corn per animal, adding up to a substantial amount nationally, although it represents less than 1% of total U.S. corn use. Despite declining feed efficiency and average daily gain as cattle get larger, feeding cattle to heavier weights can remain profitable because a greater proportion of the added weight ends up in the carcass rather than in non-marketable tissues. The hosts explain that heavier cattle help offset the effects of historically low cattle inventories by increasing total beef production without requiring more animals. This additional production helps meet strong consumer demand and moderates beef prices that might otherwise be even higher. The second topic focuses on leasing cropland for pasture when improvements such as fencing, water infrastructure, and forage establishment are required. Panelists emphasize that successful pasture lease agreements begin with clear communication and should account for who pays for improvements, how long the lease will last, and what happens to infrastructure when the lease ends. They note that arrangements can vary widely, from landowners paying for materials to tenants absorbing costs in exchange for longer lease terms or reduced rental rates. Written agreements and careful financial planning are strongly encouraged to protect both parties and ensure that long-term investments can be recovered. Overall, the episode highlights how thoughtful economic analysis and upfront communication can lead to better decisions throughout the cattle production chain.

A big sell-off in cattle with several grains and the significance of the 100 day moving averages for corn, wheat and soybeans with Naomi Blohm in our Market Analysis.

Producers should be prepared for some volatility as war concerns heat back up and drive grain markets once again. Russia and Ukraine continue to target important grain infrastructure, disrupting export markets. Cattle close lower once again, and analysts think that the market still has a ways to go before the bottom is found. Clint Hoffman with Tredas recaps today's trade.

*It's an agricultural disaster in Central and South Texas.  *The nation's premiere beef cattle educational event is just a couple of weeks away.  *Time is running short in Washington D.C.  *Livestock producers in the Texas Panhandle are keeping watch for screwworms.  *USDA is making half a billion dollars available to support beef processing.  *If you're putting up hay this summer, remember that what happens after cutting can have a big effect on forage quality.  *Texas A&M has a veterinary emergency response team built for disasters. 

The mid-summer slowdown has settled on the cattle markets, with cash prices retreating across North America following several months of record highs. While the pullback is largely seasonal, strong Canadian beef export performance and continued feeder cattle imports remain key storylines as the industry heads into the second half of the year.

*Flooding is devastating Central and South Texas.  *The Cattle Industry Summer Business Meeting is this week in Denver.   *More than half of U.S. farmers do not see any meaningful benefit in Artificial Intelligence.  *There's a new field guide to help beef cattle producers navigate a screwworm infestation.   *Livestock producers in the Texas High Plains are preparing for screwworms.  *A bill that would stop twice yearly time change is moving forward.  *Farmers and ranchers in the Rolling Plains of Texas are still waiting on the cool wet summer that was forecasted.  *Tetanus is not uncommon in large animals this time of year.  

Feeder cattle prices can drop faster than any producer expects, and Livestock Risk Protection insurance is one tool for managing that risk. Jay Parsons, professor of agricultural economics and director of the Center for Agricultural Profitability at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, joins the show to explain how LRP works for feeder cattle, why participation in Nebraska has climbed sharply in recent years, and how the program has changed for new and beginning producers under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Parsons draws on 21 years of tracking a single policy to show when the coverage pays off and when it doesn't.https://cap.unl.edu/news/lrp-feeder-cattle-insurance-recent-enhancement-and-performance-history/

It took Cade Passig years of working every job on the crew before he found his was to the microphone announcing for Mathews Land and Cattle. Growing up with a rope in his hand, Passig never wanted to do anything else—but rope. That led to life now: being the "conductor" at some of the biggest jackpots in the country, being a student of the game in both announcing and heeling steers, and being a dad to a little one who is already ate up with the sport. On this episode of The Score, Passig talks us through how he grew up and the grind that it was, how he found his was onto the M.L.C. crew, and how even though he doesn't hit the rodeo road "full time", he wouldn't change a thing. He takes listeners back to he and Chris Francis' win of the 2018 Bob Feist Invitational and how that helped shape his career, and what growing up with guys like Francis around made him realize how important raising his son, Hardy, in the same way truly is. This listen is long, but worth it, as is expected for a guy who ropes and talks for a living.

Are cattle inherently destructive—or have we simply built the wrong agricultural system around them?In this episode, Dr Max Gulhane speaks with Professor Richard Fynn, a rangeland ecologist and conservation scientist at the University of Botswana, about the future of beef production, regenerative grazing and indigenous African cattle.Professor Fynn explains why beef raised on diverse natural rangelands is fundamentally different from beef produced through grain-based feedlots. They explore how the phytochemical diversity of a cow's diet may influence animal health, meat quality and flavour, as well as the broader consequences of feedlot production for animal welfare, biodiversity, soil carbon and the conversion of grasslands into cropland.The conversation then turns to Nguni and other indigenous African cattle. These animals have been shaped over generations by heat, drought, parasites, disease and nutritionally challenging landscapes. Their smaller frames, fertility, browsing ability and resilience may make them better suited to a hotter and increasingly variable climate than many large European-derived breeds.TIMESTAMPS00:35 The Importance of Phytochemical Diversity in Animal Diets03:24 Health Implications of Feedlot vs. Rangeland Beef06:14 Consumer Awareness and Ethical Considerations in Meat Production09:14 Environmental Impact of Feedlots vs. Sustainable Practices11:48 The Role of Indigenous Breeds in Sustainable Agriculture15:05 Adaptation of Cattle to Climate Change and Drought Conditions18:04 The Economic Benefits of Indigenous Breeds20:54 Case Studies and Personal Experiences with Nguni Cattle23:55 Conclusion: The Future of Sustainable Beef Production36:10 The Importance of Adaptation in Cattle Breeding38:32 Genetic Resilience and Disease Resistance41:32 The Impact of Foot and Mouth Disease45:36 Grazing Management and Land Management Strategies53:46 The Dangers of Selective Grazing58:34 High Density Grazing and Its Benefits01:03:41 The Future of Sustainable Beef Production01:17:05 Moving Away from Feedlot ProductionFOLLOW RICHARDContact rfynn@ub.ac.bw Research Gate profile: https://www.researchgate.net/scientific-contributions/Richard-Fynn-2132304344Grazing smarter: science-based grazing strategies, not only stocking rate, determine rangeland outcomes - https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.2989/10220119.2025.2609078FURTHER LISTENING ON NGUNIMy Nguni interviews - https://www.youtube.com/playlist? list=PLrv4qp8WwfQG8lBXPL2BFx0sBAwA-jFboAUSTRALIAN NGUNI BREEDERS Henham Ngunis - https://www.henhamngunis.com.au/Dr Gabriël Roux, Genesis Nguni - http://www.genesisnguni.com/NGUNI COMMUNITY Nguni Association of Australia - https://www.nguni.au/Nguni Australia Instagram - https://instagram.com/nguni_australiaNguni Association of South Africa - https://nguni.co.za/Nguni Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/ngunicattle/Nguni Australia Facebook Group -https://www.facebook.com/nguniaustraliaFollow DR MAXWebsite: https://drmaxgulhane.com/ (SIGN UP TO MY EMAIL LIST)Private Group: https://www.skool.com/dr-maxs-circadian-resetCourses: https://drmaxgulhane.com/collections/coursesTwitter: https://twitter.com/MaxGulhaneMDInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_max_gulhane/Apple Podcasts:  https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id1661751206Spotify:  https://open.spotify.com/show/6edRmG3IFafTYnwQiJjhwRLinktree: https://linktr.ee/maxgulhanemd#nguni #regenerativefarming #regenerativeagricultureSend us Fan Mail

Brad shares preliminary results from a University of Minnesota study examining feed intake, methane emissions, and feeding behavior in Holstein and crossbred dairy heifers. Using precision feeders, methane-monitoring equipment, and activity sensors, the research team compared Holsteins with ProCROSS and GrazeCross heifers.The early findings show that methane production generally increased with feed intake. Smaller GrazeCross heifers consumed less feed and produced less methane and carbon dioxide, while ProCROSS heifers had the highest feed intake. However, methane produced per unit of dry matter intake did not differ significantly among the breed groups.Brad also discusses how often heifers visited the feed bunk, how much time they spent eating, and what sensor data revealed about rumination and activity. These preliminary results highlight how body size, breed, and feeding behavior may influence heifer management and environmental efficiency.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

If you are an AABP member interested in cattle nutrition, consider joining our Nutrition Committee by going to this link. Sperber reviews the main active ingredients in implants and how they work inside the animal and when they should be used during the production cycle. She also reviews the variables that matter most when selecting an implant. Veterinarians should be aware of FDA regulations on re-implant strategies and timing of implants. Find information about these regulations here and a list of all FDA approved implants for use in the U.S. here.  Veterinarians play a key role in consulting producers on what implants to use and when to use them, but also in assisting with implant quality control. This includes training, monitoring and auditing implants for correct administration to ensure all cattle receive the benefits for maximum returns.
