In this episode of The Moos Room, Brad shares updates on the University of Minnesota's ongoing work with bovine leukosis virus (BLV), a retrovirus that weakens the immune system, reduces production, and costs dairy farmers hundreds of dollars per cow each year.Brad walks through the latest herd testing results, where prevalence has held steady at around 30%, but with new infections continuing to appear—especially in older cows. He digs into the role of biting flies in BLV transmission, highlighting research showing that nearly all previously negative cows became suspect or positive after just one summer on pasture.The discussion covers:How BLV spreads within herds.The economic and animal health impacts of infection.Management strategies like testing, culling, colostrum protocols, and breeding decisions.Why fly control may be one of the most important tools for reducing BLV spread in grazing herds.Tune in to hear how the UMN Morris dairy herd is tackling this challenge, what the research says about seasonality and transmission, and what steps farmers can take to manage BLV on their own operations.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

On this week's Tipping Point NM interview Paul interviewed rancher and president of NM Cattle Growers, Bronson Corn. They primarily discussed a proposed power line through Eastern New Mexico that could wind up involving use of eminent domain and taking land up to 15 miles wide. Why does this project require so much land? Where is this electricity going? Also, Paul and Bronson discuss New Mexico's proposed "heat rule." The rule which is still being considered would have massive negative impacts on ranchers and would be completely unrealistic for many rural employers. Check out this conversation now!
Summary: This episode of Restaurant Owners Uncorked features Molly Engelhart, a former Los Angeles vegan chef turned Texas cattle rancher and author of “Debunked by Nature: How a Vegan-Chef-Turned-Regenerative-Farmer Discovered that Mother Nature Is a Conservative.” Molly shares her journey from operating five vegan restaurants to running a regenerative cattle ranch and on-farm restaurant. Her shift came after realizing that all food production, vegan or otherwise, involves death, and that avoiding animal products doesn't necessarily equate to environmental or moral purity. She describes the hidden realities of agriculture, the economic challenges farmers face, and the systemic issues in U.S. food production. Molly emphasizes the need for fair pricing for farmers, consumer education, and direct engagement with nature. She also discusses her upcoming Food is Medicine conference, aimed at connecting chefs, farmers, and consumers with regenerative agriculture and holistic health practices.Key Takeaways: Identity Shift: Molly moved from being a lifelong vegan and chef to a regenerative cattle rancher after realizing vegan agriculture still depends on animal byproducts and causes animal deaths. Food Waste Catalyst: Concerns over massive restaurant food waste led her to start a farm, sparking revelations about the true nature of food production. “Death on Every Plate” Reality: Whether eating broccoli or steak, agriculture involves death, via fertilizers, pest control, or mechanical harvesting. Economic Pressures on Farmers: Land, feed, taxes, and equipment costs make it nearly impossible for new ranchers to survive financially without inherited land or side income. Food Prices & Farmer Survival: Many commodity crop prices haven't risen since the 1970s, while input costs have skyrocketed, contributing to the loss of 140,000 farms in the past decade. Health & Nutrition Concerns: She links modern diseases to refined flour, sugar, and agrochemicals, advocating for nutrient-dense, whole foods despite their higher cost. Chefs as Cultural Influencers: Restaurants can shift consumer perceptions by showcasing local, regenerative foods and promoting direct farmer relationships. Food Sovereignty as National Security: The U.S. has become a net importer of food, narrowing crop diversity and risking resilience. Systemic Change Needed: Calls for reduced bureaucracy, innovative housing for farm workers, and banking products to help small farmers acquire land. Upcoming Event: Molly is hosting the Food is Medicine conference (Sept 26–28) featuring workshops, advocacy training, and speakers like Will Harris, focusing on regenerative food and health transformation.
In this episode, Hobbs Magaret, author of Herd: Animals That Gave Rise to Humanity and Why We Need Them More Than Ever, joins Cal for a deep, thought-provoking conversation about grazing, ecology, and shifting our perspectives on livestock production. Hobbs shares his journey from ranching in Oregon to working on massive cattle stations in Australia, blending personal experience with philosophical insights. The discussion explores high density grazing, the role of herd animals in human history, how to market regenerative beef, and the radical idea of viewing beef as a waste product rather than the main goal. Along the way, Hobbs touches on corporate politics, ecological ideals, genetic selection for fertility, and the lessons learned from managing vastly different environments.Topics CoveredHobbs Magaret's background and ranching journey in the U.S. and AustraliaThe origins of his interest in high density grazing (influences from Allan Savory and Johann Zietsman)Moving from a protein-production mindset to an ecological-function mindsetThe concept of beef as a waste product instead of a byproductLessons learned from grazing in Oregon vs. Texas vs. Northern AustraliaManaging corporate politics while implementing ecological changesPerformance art and visibility in agriculture marketingUsing social media (TikTok & Instagram) to grow influence and sell beefThe role of hindgut fermenters in ecosystems and simulating their function with ruminantsGenetic adaptation and breed considerations for different environmentsThe importance of fertility as the key livestock selection criterionMarketing strategies and the value of storytelling in agriculture If you're interested in the future of regenerative ranching, this episode will challenge your assumptions and spark new ideas. Hobbs brings a rare combination of large-scale experience, ecological philosophy, and practical know-how. Whether you're grazing a few acres or managing thousands, his insights into livestock genetics, grazing strategy, and the deeper purpose of ruminants will help you think differently about your land, your herd, and your role as a steward.Resources MentionedHerd: Animals That Gave Rise to Humanity and Why We Need Them More Than Ever by Hobbs MagaretAllan Savory's work and holistic management principlesMan, Cattle and Veld by Johann ZietsmanHow to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale CarnegieLooking for Livestock that thrive on grass?

On this episode, host Katy Starr chats with Mike Toberer, founder of Mountain Mule Packers and Mission Mules about: Unique differences between horses and mules on tough terrainThe worst mistake new packers make and how to avoid itHow their efforts in the Hurricane Helene response changed their purpose From his early days navigating the Sierra Nevada Mountains to training elite military teams and delivering life-saving supplies after Hurricane Helene, Mike shares how mules do more than carry gear, they carry purpose.
The government's announced a trade deal with Egypt which it says could be worth £250 million in dairy exports ports over the next five years. As part of the deal, new regulations around the Halal certification of dairy produce going into Egypt will not be applied, avoiding what would have been a costly trade barrier. Finding a market for every part of an animal, not just the popular cuts like bacon and steak, is known as carcass balance and it's something we're talking about all this week. We visit Redhill Farm in Lincolnshire to see how they find out how they manage it. The auroch is regarded as the wild ancestor of the modern day cattle we see on farms today. They were huge and used to roam Europe through to the Bronze age. Excavations in the Yorkshire Dales have unearthed what may be the last recorded aurochs in the UK. We speak to farmer Tom Lord who lives in the area and is a passionate archaeologist. He's often called on to advise potholers who find auroch bones when they're exploring underground caves.

Brad records solo during a busy fair season. But behind the scenes at the research center, a troubling issue emerged this summer: a cluster of abortions isolated to a 50–60 cow organic herd.After ruling out other groups, Brad suspected moldy feed. Testing revealed high mold counts—especially Fusarium, which produces mycotoxins linked to infertility and abortions. The herd had been eating first-crop hay baled a bit too wet, later found to be heating and moldy.Aborted fetuses sent to diagnostic labs showed mixed results: one indicated Neospora caninum (a protozoan parasite spread by dogs or coyotes), another pointed to bacterial placentitis likely linked to moldy feed. Despite the confusion, abortions dropped sharply after the moldy hay was removed from the diet, strengthening Brad's belief that feed quality was the main culprit.To prevent future issues, the team pulled suspect hay from use, began feeding a mycotoxin binder, and emphasized the importance—and challenge—of making mold-free feed in a wet year.After almost a month without new cases in the affected herd, Brad is cautiously optimistic. His takeaway: good feed management is critical, even for research herds, and sometimes the simplest solution—removing bad feed—makes the biggest difference.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

AABP Executive Director Dr. Fred Gingrich is joined by Dr. Lilli Heinen, a 2024 Kansas State University College of Veterinary Medicine graduate and dual PhD program, currently employed as a senior researcher at Midwest Veterinary Services, Dr. Brian Lubbers, interim department head in clinical sciences at Kansas State University, and Dr. Ron Tessman, a beef technical consultant at Elanco Animal Health. This podcast is sponsored by Elanco Animal Health, manufacturers of PradalexTM. The development of Pradalex highlights their commitment to improving animal health outcomes, reducing the risk of resistance and minimizing disruption to animals' normal health biome. Pradalex's structural differences result in a dual-targeting effect, yielding up to 3x better in vitro potency compared to similar fluoroquinolone antibiotics approved for the treatment of BRD. Elanco, a global leader in animal health, is committed to supporting the success of the beef industry by providing resources to help manage health, enhance economic performance, and promote operational sustainability. For more information visit Elanco.com or contact your local Elanco representative. We begin with an explanation of the mechanism of action of this new antibiotic and the reasons for performing this study. The primary study objective was to evaluate the effect of 3-, 6- and 9-day post-treatment intervals on first treatment success and case fatality in naturally occurring bovine respiratory disease (BRD) in stocker calves. Secondary outcomes included days-to-death (DTD) in the same population. The average overall first treatment success was 61.8% with no statistical differences across the three post-treatment intervals. The average case fatality rate was 12.3% with no statistical differences between the treated groups. The authors note that the population studied was stocker cattle which may have explained the higher numbers compared to feedlot cattle reports. We also discuss the inclusion of DTD in this study and the reasons for this outcome variable. Veterinarians can utilize this information to guide treatment protocols when using pradofloxacin. Post-treatment intervals are an important component of antimicrobial stewardship as well as decreasing treatment costs without impacting animal health.

It's The Ranch It Up Radio Show! Join Jeff Tigger Erhardt, Rebecca Wanner AKA BEC and their crew as they go through the Angus Access program for marketing those red angus feeder calves. Plus reports from the Video Royale Sale from Superior Livestock Auction on this all new episode of The Ranch It Up Radio Show. Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. Season 5, EPISODE 249 Red Angus Association Rebrands Feeder Calf Certification Program As Angus Access The Red Angus Association of America (RAAA) has officially rebranded its longstanding Feeder Calf Certification Program (FCCP) to Angus Access. This change reflects more than just a name update — it marks a strategic evolution in how Red Angus cattle are marketed, verified, and positioned within the beef industry. What Is Angus Access Angus Access is the beef industry's first genetic, age, and source verification program, now modernized for today's traceability and quality assurance demands. USDA-approved and trusted by Red Angus producers for over 30 years, the program now better aligns with both consumer expectations and industry trends like case-ready beef and private label branding. Why Red Angus? Premium Quality, Recognized Value Red Angus cattle consistently produce premium Angus beef, a product category in high demand with consumers seeking quality and consistency. The new name, Angus Access, emphasizes the breed's place within Angus-branded beef programs, helping Red Angus producers gain the recognition — and market share — they deserve. A Legacy Of Verification & Market Access Originally launched in 1995, the Feeder Calf Certification Program was developed to help Red Angus calves compete with black-hided counterparts and gain access to value-based marketing opportunities. Through USDA-backed verification and the program's iconic yellow tags, Red Angus calves earned industry-wide recognition for: Feedlot performance Carcass consistency High-quality beef production Today, over 3.5 million calves have been enrolled in FCCP and its crossbred counterpart, Allied Access. Both programs have helped commercial producers nationwide capture added value through verified genetics and transparent sourcing. Transition To 840 Tags By 2026 RAAA is ensuring a smooth transition for current users. While existing FCCP tags remain valid through July 1, 2027, starting January 1, 2026, only 840 EID (Electronic Identification) tags will be issued for both Angus Access and Allied Access programs. Benefits of 840 EID tags include: Improved traceability Automated data collection Reduced tag loss Enhanced animal-level tracking (e.g., birthweight, health protocols, genetics) Better compliance with domestic and export regulations Optional visual tags with the Angus Access and Allied Access logos will still be available for producers who value visual ID. EID Technology Supports The Future Of Beef Production As vertically integrated supply chains become the norm, EID-based verification systems are now expected by many beef processors, including sustainability-driven companies like Sustainable Beef. Research shows that beef products linked to transparent, verified production practices increase consumer trust by over 80%, driving repeat purchases and stronger brand loyalty. Angus Access: Driving The Future Of Verified Red Angus Beef The Angus Access rebrand is more than a marketing change — it's a powerful statement of RAAA's commitment to innovation, data integrity, and producer success. As consumer preferences and retailer demands evolve, Angus Access ensures that Red Angus genetics and the cattlemen behind them are ready to lead the way in transparent, value-driven beef production.

This episode is a wild ride from start to finish. We open with the ongoing WNBA drama that's been lighting up headlines, then dive into a conversation about high-speed police chases versus slow, off-road getaways—not real case breakdowns, just our take on which we'd rather attempt and the dangers of each. Things really kick into gear when we get into listener Q&A. We talk about why Bobby Lee sold his John Deere 4030, which leads to a deeper discussion about running reliable equipment that fits your operation—especially if you're a one-man show. From there, we talk about the pros and cons of working alone, and how that can affect the flow and efficiency of farm work. We also get into the best cattle strategies if you're starting out with just 10 acres, covering practical advice for beginners looking to make the most of small land. Later in the show, we close things out with a conversation around moral dilemmas, sparked by a discussion about OnlyFans and relationships—but we'll let you decide where that rabbit hole leads.
