Podcasts about certified angus beef

IN today's episode podcast host Kerry Lonergan catches up with John Stika, president and CEO of Certified Angus Beef, the world's largest branded beef program. Over the last 47 years CAB has grown into a red meat marketing colossus, grading around six million cattle each year producing beef sold into dozens of countries worldwide. But it hasn't always been easy, going within a single vote of being cancelled in its formative years before the program turned a profit.

Sometimes the only way to start a new venture is to jump right in. That's how Angus producers Lindsey Hall and Ashley Brunner say they approached their direct-to-consumer beef marketing enterprises they operate as part of their family Angus operations. Both operations have been among the first to test Certified Angus Beef's (CAB) Ranch to Table program, and share how they got started, the power of partnerships and ways they keep their customers happy. And they're not done yet. Tune in to hear what's next and if this is an opportunity you might want to pursue in your own operation.  HOSTS: Miranda Reiman and Kara Lee, director of producer engagement, CABGUESTS: Lindsey Hall grew up in the Angus business, on her family's Maplecrest Farms near Hillsboro, Ohio. She headed off to The Ohio State University where she earned a bachelor's degree in animal science, followed by a master's in ruminant nutrition, animal breeding and genetics from Kansas State University. She met her husband, Adam, at the Ohio State Fair, and today they're raising their two boys in the ag industry. Hall returned to her family's operation and heads up their Maplecrest Meats enterprise, a storefront where they sell their home-raised beef.Ashley Bruner, Bruner Angus Ranch, ranches with her husband, Travis, their four young children, and his extended family. They have about 500 registered Angus cows on their ranch near Drake, N.D., where they host an annual production sale in June. The family recently partnered with friends and fellow North Dakota Angus ranchers, the Wendel family, to form Dakota Angus — a direct-to-consumer beef merchandizing business. That effort and their commitment to quality recently earned the families the 2023 CAB Progressive Partner award.  RELATED READING:Future Focused BusinessDon't miss news in the Angus breed.

Jane Dukes, associate director, Value Chain and Consumer Affairs, speaks with John Stika, a meat scientist and President of Certified Angus Beef and Emily Metz, President and CEO of the American Egg Board. May is National Beef Month and National Egg Month and so in this episode our industry leading guests join us to recognize the contributions of layer farmers and cattle ranchers while gaining insights into the beef and egg industries. John guides grassroots programs and delivers premium beef from family farmers and ranchers to consumer's dinner tables. Emily has worked as the head of Global Research and Development Communications and New Product Marketing for the world's largest animal genetics company. Together they discuss how the agriculture industry can better interact and engage with consumers. “Consumers do not buy on price alone. They buy in price in relation to value. And if you understand what consumers value and you align your production systems for those to align with that. I think the opportunity is there to be the financial beneficiary of that alignment and those decisions. I think the data supports the optimism that we're seeing from a production standpoint and a beef merchandising standpoint for the demand that consumers have for our products not just here in the US but around the world.” - John StikaIn a Merck Animal Health consumer research study conducted last year, two-thirds of consumers reported transparency in animal protein is extremely or very important, but only 35 percent of consumers surveyed feel the animal protein industry is transparent about sustainability or animal care/treatment. That's a gap Merck Animal Health feels we can fill. The egg industry is currently on a mission to simplify labels and allow consumers easier access to information in selecting their eggs based on what their family needs and the values they want to support. “We need to do a better job of talking about what those different production styles and practices really mean and making sure that people understand that there are trade offs. And I frankly think this is a conversation that probably agriculture needs to have across the board. There's no one silver bullet in terms of production and there's trade-offs in everything.” - Emily MetzThis Week's Podcast:Meet John Stika, is a meat scient ist and President of Certified Angus Beef and Emily Metz, President and CEO of the American Egg Board.Explore the commonalities between the egg and beef industry in addressing consumer concerns and expectationsDiscover the discussions that are being had to encourage transparency in the agriculture industry and those yet to come

When you've made a career out of being a lifelong learner, you've got a lot of wisdom to share. These guests gave us practical nuggets, visionary insight and a few laughs, too.  Hear from Larry Corah and Dave Nichols, who crossed paths at Kansas State University decades ago and have been colleagues and friends ever since. They cover everything from the impact of genomics on breed registries to how incoming animal science students have changed over the years. HOSTS: Mark McCully and Miranda ReimanGUESTS:  Larry Corah and Dave NicholsLarry Corah, professor emeritus Kansas State University, former Certified Angus Beef vice president   Growing up on a small North Dakota farm during the 1950s, Larry Corah watched as technology reshaped the agriculture industry. That background led to a passion for learning by doing, and he earned degrees from North Dakota State University, Michigan State University and the University of Wyoming before settling in Manhattan, Kan., with his wife and young children. He began as the feedlot specialist at Kansas State University (K-State) and held many roles there, where he developed an internship program and mentored many students. He worked briefly for the National Cattlemen's Beef Association before he spent two decades helping create and lead the supply development efforts at Certified Angus Beef as a vice president.    Dave Nichols, professor emeritus Kansas State University  Raised on a commercial beef cattle, swine and crops operation in Indiana, Dave Nichols' love for agriculture drove him to earn degrees from Purdue and Kansas State University (K-State). After earning his doctorate from K-State, Nichols stayed on campus as faculty. From 1981 to 2021, Nichols taught and mentored more than 14,000 students on the topics of livestock and carcass evaluation, sales management, and beef systems management. His teachings went beyond the classroom, as he led students on a variety of student abroad trips and has spoken and judged at both national and world events. Dave and his wife, Anita, currently own and operate A&D Ranch near Manhattan. The pair has two children and recently welcomed their first grandchild.   Related Content: Life Long Student, Teacher: https://www.angusjournal.com/articlepdf/Dr. Dave Nichols, Livestock Publications Council Headliner Award Winner:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0LsT3lvfoUDon't miss news in the Angus breed.

Those who worked in research and development were exploring everything from pumped product to mechanical tenderization methods to increase consumer acceptance. What changed? Economic signals became more precise, beef quality quantification methods improved and cattlemen acted on the data they received. In a relatively short time, beef quality skyrocketed.  So, what does the landscape look like today? What's the next round of advancements going to bring and why should breeders care?  HOSTS: Mark McCully and Miranda ReimanGUESTS:  Glen Dolezal and John StikaGlen Dolezal, assistant vice president, new technology applications, at Cargill Protein, has worked in many facets of the packing sector.

David, Joe, and Korbin are joined by Vince Santini of Shady Brooks Angus as they dive deeper into some listener questions from the previous episode. They begin with a riveting recap about bar soap and move into more pressing topics like $Maternal. Once again, they discuss the shortcomings they see with $Maternal, why it's so polarizing, and their proposed solutions. They discuss how much the digital society affects messaging and how they think it can be improved. A big word in the cattle business today is “sustainability”; and they talk about what it means, why it can't be ignored, and how to control the messaging. Finally, the guys talk about what their mentors have meant to them and why they believe everyone should seek out mentors. Mentioned in this Episode:Montana RanchThe Montana Bred for Balance Bull and Female Sale — Call David at 406-210-5605 or send an email to Bulls@MontanaRanchAngus.com if you're searching for semen from balanced trait sires!Rafter 5M Land & CattleBruin RanchFacebook @AngusUndergroundInstagram @AngusUndergroundContact AngusUnderground@Yahoo.com or call 406-210-1366 if you are interested in becoming a sponsor for Angus Underground.BreederLink.comGeneBrokers.comCentral Life SciencesShady Brook AngusAngus Genetics Inc.American Angus AssociationCertified Angus BeefU.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef Quotes:“If we have shortcomings, and we all agree it's not accurate, why the hell do we have it?” — David“Is this a breeding tool or a marketing tool?”— David“It can be a two-way street.
