Romey Swanson is the Executive Director of the Devils River Conservancy, and he wears a lot of other hats too—wildlife biologist, naturalist, writer, photographer, and a leader in just about every corner of the Texas conservation world. The Devils River is generally considered the most pristine stream in Texas, and maybe in the entire Southwest—remote, spring-fed, and held together entirely by private landowners. The county it runs through leads all 254 counties in Texas in privately conserved acres, and none of it was required by regulation. If you've ever wondered how conservation gets done in a place with almost no public land, Romey and his community have built a model worth paying attention to. Romey grew up in rural West Virginia as part of what he calls the last generation of feral children—turned loose outside with instructions to be home before dark, with the creek behind the house as his best friend. His family moved to Texas when he was in junior high, and like most teenagers, he traded all of that for sports and a social life. He was a first-generation college student headed toward sports medicine when he walked past a flyer at Texas State advertising a Wildlife Society meeting—free pizza and live animals. He went for the pizza, met a faculty advisor, and changed his major that week. I've known Romey for six or seven years, and we cover a lot of ground here—his early days filling deer feeders and checking bird nest boxes, why he says waiting tables taught him as much about this work as his degrees, and whether leadership can actually be taught. We get into the threats facing the Devils River—data centers, transmission lines, and energy projects that can undo decades of voluntary conservation—and his work with the mountain lion stakeholder group in Texas, which has some obvious parallels to the wolf situation here in Colorado. There's also a good stretch on his passion projects, including his owl research in the mountains of far West Texas, and why he decided to use social media to push out something positive instead of more conflict. We wrap up with a few book recommendations and his encouragement to all of us to just pay attention. I loved this conversation...

California cattle producers continue to benefit from historically strong cattle prices, but one of the industry's biggest long-term concerns isn't the market—it's the steady loss of grazing land. During a recent episode of the AgNet News Hour, California Cattlemen's Association President Rick Roberti said the future of the state's beef industry will depend on preserving working lands and ensuring ranchers have the resources needed to stay in business. Roberti said many people assume higher cattle prices mean ranchers are thriving. While markets have improved, he noted that producers continue to face rising costs for energy, fertilizer and other inputs, while also losing pastureland to development. "I think we're losing the one thing that we need, and that's grass," Roberti said. "We're losing thousands of acres a day throughout the state and throughout the whole nation. There's less place to put cattle now than there was even ten years ago." He explained that rebuilding the nation's cattle herd requires more than favorable market conditions. Young producers must see ranching as a viable business, and that means creating an environment where operations can remain profitable for future generations. "We now need to raise up new cowboys, new ranchers that want to get into business," Roberti said. "It can't be just a lifestyle. You've got to be able to make some money." Roberti emphasized that cattle producers continue to face significant uncertainty. Weather remains unpredictable, production costs remain elevated, and ranchers often have little control over the prices they receive for their livestock. "We buy everything at a high price, and then we take what they can give us for what we raise," he said, noting that producers must constantly balance costs while preparing for future market cycles. Despite those challenges, Roberti remains optimistic about the future of California ranching. He said agriculture has not lost its commitment to stewardship or hard work, but policymakers must recognize the importance of maintaining a strong domestic food supply. "If we can't feed our nation, then we're weak," Roberti said. "Hopefully we'll come to our senses." Roberti also highlighted the work of the California Cattlemen's Association, explaining that the organization reviews thousands of legislative proposals each year while advocating for ranchers in Sacramento. Much of that work, he said, involves preventing legislation that could negatively affect cattle producers before it ever reaches the governor's desk. As California continues to grapple with development pressures and increasing production costs, Roberti said protecting working ranches will be critical to ensuring future generations can continue producing high-quality beef while preserving the state's agricultural landscape.

The future of California's ranching industry may depend as much on the next generation as it does on markets and weather. That was one of the central themes during a recent episode of the AgNet News Hour, where Rick Roberti, president of the California Cattlemen's Association, discussed the challenges facing family ranches and why attracting young people back to agriculture is becoming increasingly difficult. Roberti, whose family has ranched in Sierra Valley for six generations, said many of the issues facing producers today are similar to those that prompted the creation of the California Cattlemen's Association more than a century ago. While markets and policies have evolved, he said the organization's mission remains the same: advocating for California ranchers. One of Roberti's biggest concerns is whether younger generations will choose to continue farming and ranching. "I think getting the next generation to stay on the farm or stay on the ranch is going to be difficult because our culture has changed so much," Roberti said. He pointed to changing lifestyles, technology and shifting priorities as factors making agriculture a more difficult career path to attract young people. At the same time, he emphasized that producing food remains one of the country's most essential industries and requires dedicated producers willing to make long-term investments. Roberti also discussed the financial pressures facing California agriculture, noting that producers compete against imported products while operating under some of the nation's most stringent environmental and labor regulations. He said those factors have made it increasingly difficult for American producers to compete on price. "We're importing so much more food," Roberti said. "We have to change some rules so that we're put on an even playing field again." The conversation also turned to California's water resources. Roberti argued that the state has sufficient water but needs improved forest management, storage and infrastructure to better capture and deliver it where it is needed. He cited examples from his own region where wildfire and overgrown forests have reduced watershed efficiency, saying better management could improve both water supplies and forest health. Beyond policy discussions, Roberti stressed the importance of educating consumers about where their food comes from and helping younger generations understand the value of agriculture. For California's ranching community, he said the goal is simple: ensure family operations remain viable so future generations have the opportunity—and the desire—to continue producing food.

The state's 79th Alice in Dairyland is on the job! Meet Anastasia Poull. This native of Port Washington is excited to help educate consumers about all Wisconsin agriculture has to offer. Pam Jahnke gets an update on "National Ice Cream Month" from Poull, and why it matters to many of the state's ice cream shops and manufacturers! Hot, sticky weather continues again today - coupled with noticeable smoke drifting in from wildfires in Canada and northern Minnesota. Stu Muck explains what's happening and how long we can expect this combination in the state. Mel Pittman has been a long time supporter of Wisconsin Farm Technology Days. Today the retired dairy farmer from Plum City, WI is finding a new agriculture interest raising beef cattle. Still, he's maintained an active presence on the WFTD Executive Board for over a decade. Pittman talks with Pam Jahnke about the changes he's seen in the show, attendees, and the featured equipment. Yes, he admits the show's facing some challenges, but he believes the combination of curious farmers and cutting edge technology still works. You've seen the headlines. The U.S. is experiencing the smallest beef heard in over a half a century. That small cattle herd also impacts available funds for the WI Beef Council. Tammy Vaassen, executive director of WBC is already making plans for precision use of available dollars for 2027. That involves partnering with the Cattlemen's Beef Board and their contracting partners to make dollars go further. She explains. Plus, they're visiting with folks at WI Farm Technology Days as well!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sharing the great story of Wisconsin's beef industry can go in many different directions for many different audiences. Dollars, however, are limited. That's one of the challenges facing Tammy Vaassen, executive director of the Wisconsin Beef Council. Vaassen, along with other state staff leaders, will be at the Summer Business Conference of the Cattlemen's Beef Board learning about projects that might fit with Wisconsin's direction. Presenters will be from several different partners that contract with the Cattlemen's Beef Board. Each with a particular area of expertise. Vaassen explains to her board members and producers the simple fact that there's not as many cattle in the U.S. today as there has been. That directly dictates the operating budget for the Wisconsin Beef Council. By investigating partnerships with other checkoff funded partners, Vaassen can parlay her limited budget into a bigger bang for Wisconsin producers buck. Any ideas that she believes are worth pursuing will be shared with her Wisconsin board members for final decision on funding. In the past, for example, the Wisconsin Beef Council has used these partnerships to create reverse trade missions. Brining foreign buyers to Wisconsin to learn about the unique system of beef production the state offers. Vaassen and the staff at the Wisconsin Beef Council welcome questions or suggestions from producers or industry leaders. The staff will be on hand in the Beef Tent at Wisconsin Farm Technology Days sharing educational materials with passersby.

Drought is once again becoming a growing concern in British Columbia, and cattle producers are already starting to ring the alarm bells. In a statement, the BC Cattlemen's Association (BCCA) says low snowpack, dry conditions and ongoing water shortages are putting pressure on ranchers heading into the summer grazing season. It's urging the province to preserve critical water-storage infrastructure and calling for a halt to any plans to remove or decommission it.

Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. Strategic Trace Mineral Supplementation For Cattle Health & Reproduction With MultiMin 90 From Axiota Animal Health Keeping cattle healthy and productive requires the right balance of nutrients—especially trace minerals like zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium. These nutrients play a key role in reproduction, immunity, and overall performance. Multimin® 90 is an injectable trace mineral supplement designed to quickly support cattle when they need it most. Why Trace Minerals Matter When cattle don't get enough trace minerals, it can lead to: Weaker immune systems Lower fertility rates Slower growth Even with good feed programs, cattle may still fall short because: Minerals in feed and water can be blocked and not absorbed Some animals consume less than others Stressful events increase mineral needs quickly Key Benefits of Strategic Supplementation Better Breeding Results Providing trace minerals at the right time can improve fertility and help produce more calves in a shorter period. Healthier Calves Supplementing cows late in pregnancy supports nutrient transfer to the calf and improves colostrum quality. Stronger Immunity Trace minerals help cattle respond better to vaccines and fight off disease. How Multimin® 90 Works Multimin® 90 is given by injection, allowing minerals to: Enter the bloodstream quickly (within 8–10 hours) Bypass digestion issues in the rumen Be stored in the liver for later use This ensures every animal gets the minerals it needs—right when it needs them. When to Use It Cows & Heifers Last trimester of pregnancy About 30 days before breeding Bulls At weaning 45–60 days before breeding season Calves (2+ months) At first vaccination At weaning Stockers During processing How to Use Always consult your veterinarian Follow label directions carefully Dose based on animal weight and age Do not exceed 7 mL per injection site Find out more about MULTIMIN 90 HERE Featured Experts in the Cattle Industry Craig Louder, DVM - Axiota Animal Health https://axiota.com/ Follow On Facebook: @AxiotaAnimalHealth 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?

This week on The Show, we sit down with Taylor Sheridan — creator of Yellowstone and one of the most influential voices in modern western culture.The guys talk to Taylor about how he got his start in the horse industry, his path into acting and writing, and what it actually took to get projects like Yellowstone, 1883, and 1923 picked up. The conversation dives into the realities of the entertainment industry, what his day-to-day life looks like now, and what he's currently working on.We also discuss his involvement in the western and performance horse industries through his own ranch, Bosque Ranch, along with his involvement in the ownership of the historic 6666 Ranch. From there, the conversation turns to the origins of The Run For A Million, the upcoming TRFAM qualifier, and the continued growth of the reining industry.Throughout the episode, the guys talk about increasing visibility for the performance horse world, making it more of a spectator sport, and what that kind of growth could mean for the industry moving forward. Taylor also shares insight into his business ventures, including his ownership of Cattlemen's Steakhouse in Fort Worth, as well as the bigger vision behind everything he's building.A big part of that vision is authenticity — preserving the western way of life and making sure what's shown on screen reflects the real world. As Taylor puts it, nothing is accidental, and that attention to detail shows up in everything he does.Plus, we get into Tom & Cade's experience on Yellowstone and how moments like that are helping bring more recognition to the western lifestyle and horse industry.A big thank you to Taylor for joining us — we appreciate him taking the time to sit down and share his perspective.

A conversation with Erik Glenn of the Colorado Cattlemen's Agricultural Land Trust. This trust was the first state specific land trust that allows ranchers and farmers to put conservation easements on their land that both comes with tax benefits and in many cash economic benefits that allows the family to keep the land available for multiple generations and/or expansion.

Industry Associations React To Beef Imported From Argentina President Trump issued a proclamation titled “Ensuring Affordable Beef for the American Consumer,” increasing the in-quota import of lean beef trimmings from Argentina by 80,000 metric tons in 2026 to help lower ground beef prices. U.S. Cattlemen's Association (USCA) President Justin Tupper said the group has been engaged with the Administration since expanded imports were first proposed in October 2025. While USCA supports efforts to stabilize supply, Tupper emphasized that a strong domestic cattle industry is essential and warned that trade agreements must not undermine U.S. producers or supply integrity. Tupper expressed concern over the scale and origin of the imports, noting Argentina faces tight cattle supplies similar to the U.S. He said the roughly 400% increase should be treated as a one-time exception, not a precedent, and urged stronger rules of origin and labeling so consumers know where their beef comes from. R-CALF echoed these concerns, stating that past increases in beef imports from countries such as Argentina and Brazil failed to reduce consumer prices. Instead, they correlated with a shrinking U.S. cattle herd, fewer domestic producers, and ultimately higher beef prices.

The Cattlemen’s Beef Board is intensifying its efforts to boost the industry’s bottom line by expanding international markets and investing in urban education. Through partnerships with the U.S. Meat Export Federation, the Beef Checkoff is successfully marketing "the whole animal" by identifying international culinary needs that differ from domestic trends. A recent $7.9 million investment has allowed USMEF to promote products like tripe and tongue in Mexico, and a nutrient-dense "liver burger" in Peru to combat iron deficiency. "Across the world, there are some of the parts of a beef animal that we don't eat as much in the U.S.," says Cheryl DeVuyst, Vice Chair of the Cattlemen's Beef Board. "It is helping with the health and nutrition of the people in Peru, but then it's increasing the bottom line for our producers because that's selling product that we don't really eat as much of here."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
