Podcast appearances and mentions of colin woodall

In this urgent and insight-packed episode of the National Land Podcast, host Mac Christian sits down with Colin Woodall, CEO of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA), to talk about everything from cattle markets and advocacy to an emerging threat few saw coming: the resurgence of the New World screwworm. Colin outlines NCBA's deep-rooted history dating back to 1898 and how it remains the largest and most influential cattle producer organization in the U.S., representing over 270,000 cattle producers across all 50 states. The conversation spans major ongoing concerns in the beef industry, including: Beef market trends in 2025 and how high demand, limited herd supply, and rising quality have kept prices strong. The delays in the Farm Bill and its implications for ranchers and producers, especially the crucial funding for Foot and Mouth Disease vaccine banks. How water scarcity, drought conditions, and aquifer depletion are shaping the cattle landscape—and what producers are doing to adapt. The rise of niche beef markets like grass-fed, locally sourced, and hormone-free, and how they're driving demand and providing new revenue for producers. A deep dive into the New World Screw Worm crisis: what it is, why it's dangerous, how it re-emerged, and what the cattle industry must do now to stop it. The role of NCBA in advocacy, public awareness, technology integration, and emergency response in the face of this new biological threat. Colin also shares how NCBA is leading national response efforts, from lobbying for sterile fly production to helping producers identify, treat, and report infestations. It's a critical listen for landowners, cattle producers, ag investors, and anyone concerned with rural land health, agricultural policy, or the food supply chain.

In this episode, National Cattlemen's Beef Association CEO Colin Woodall talks about unfinished business as the 2022 Congressional session wraps up and we look toward 2023.

THE THESIS: The United States is radically influenced by, if not controlled by, globalists; people who want global control over all facts of life. This is not the least bit hidden, nor is it hard to understand if you will stand in truth. The patterns are far too clear, the policies and positions far too uniform, the techniques of terrifying people to control them universal, breathless and insane charges of disinformation being made from liars is absolute. THE SCRIPTURE & SCRIPTURAL RESOURCES: Even the most brilliant, well-educated people can be made blind to what is right in front of themThe spiritual blindness of the Pharisees and how we can avoid it (a good article with an annoying cartoon at the top, page down for the content). Was the accusation of Jesus true?Jesus, the Great Physician, again and again revealed his diagnosis of the Pharisees' spiritual disability:“Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand. In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah: ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.'” – Matthew 13:13-14 (parallels: Mark 4:12; Luke 8:10)Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit. – Matthew 15:14For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind…. If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but not that you claim you can see, your guilt remains. – John 9:39, 41Woe to you, blind guides! … You blind fools! … You blind men! … You blind guides! – Matthew 23:16, 17, 19, 24You are going to have the light just a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, before darkness overtakes you. Whoever walks in the dark does not know where they are going. Believe in the light while you have the light, so that you may become children of light. – John 12:35-36THE NEWS & COMMENT:Corruption like this is global. The same people who demand we turn down our thermostats and carpool are self-dealing and raiding our treasuries. Certainly, this is part of our sin condition. But, there are no punishments and people have been programmed to simply accept that the bosses get to act this way. [AUDIO] - The video that started it all. In 2012, Speaker Pelosi was asked if she thought there was a conflict of interest in her Husband getting a favorable stock deal in the Visa IPO. This was her response:All over The West, countries have somehow forgotten how to secure their borders. It just slipped their collective minds. Or, it is part of a pattern to radically redistribute people who, sadly and brutally, have been conditioned to view government as parent and provider. [AUDIO] - Joe Biden visits Arizona & accidentally confirms what we all knew: he does not care one bit about the Border Crisis.Reporter: “Why would you visit our state and not visit the border?”Sleepy Joe: “There are more important things going on”[AUDIO] - Protests spreading throughout Ireland tonight over illegal immigrants being bussed into hotels and other accommodation under the cover of darkness as the Irish are left to rot. This is one lady rallying the residents of Tallaght tonight.[AUDIO] - Tucker Carlson: "This is real. This is happening. No one is stopping it. Republicans are colluding to allow it to continue."Also a unanimous pattern in the West: borders don't matter. UNLESS it's Ukraine's border. [AUDIO] - Secretary of State Blinken implies that U.S. support of Ukraine will continue even if public support wanes, because the U.S. does foreign policy based on national interest, not "policy by polls" @DailyCallerThis is universal with the elites: clear, unambiguous facts are “CoNspIraCCy ThEorieZ!” Every Western nation is using the technique and it is 100% purposeful. They want us confused and uncertain so they can swoop in from their jets to rescue us. Stand in God's Truth. This pattern is also stamped all over the West--but, not in China, even though the CCP is pushing sexualization of kids in the West. Yoel was effectively Twitter's chief censor. His PhD thesis suggested that the same-sex hook-up app, Grindr, should allow kids. That is, apparently, Yoel's worldview. Increasingly, it is the worldview of The Party bosses. Incidentally, people are now accusing us of being “dangerous” and “inciting to violence” for merely publicizing what Yoel himself published and promoted. In nearly every Western Country, medical technocrats have been allowed to seize unthinkable powers. The parents of “Baby W” simply wanted blood not tainted by the mRNA injections for their baby. The hospitals had it available, but they decided to kidnap the child instead of respecting the wishes of the parents. [AUDIO] - Distressing footage of Baby W being taken away last night for pre-op checks in the presence of 4 officers enforcing the High Court Order after brick walls were thrown up by his parents. Protesters have since vilified police accusing them of taking part in a ‘violent kidnapping'.Pushing gender confusion and gender rebellion is now a religion in “health” care. It is universal to The West . . . but, not in China even though the CCP pushes it on countries like ours. [AUDIO] - This is a doctor. She wants everyone in the medical industry to focus on pronouns. These are our healthcare professionals.It is now becoming universal that people who, in my opinion, are quite clearly mentally ill are being allowed to run important aspects of government.Until he was fired on Tuesday, for the two felony charges he faces for allegedly stealing women's expensive bags, this man had been allowed to oversee the handling of America's nuclear waste. Since he tries (quite unsuccessfully) to steal women's identities, that is not a shock. Yes, it is a real article from October, 2015We can all see the global push to drive up the cost of beef by limiting the supply. Here, we see the same type of lies about beef and cheese that Gates-funded entities continue to make about the mRNA. There is no world in which CocoPuffs are healthier than beef. But, Bill Gates paid “scientists” to pretend otherwise. Gates-funded study claims candy is healthier than beefThe National Cattlemen's Beef Association is condemning as flawed the Food Compass study funded in part by alternative meat promoter Bill Gates.The Food Compass nutrient profiling system scores foods from best to worst on a scale of 0 to 100, ranking products like peanut M&Ms, Coco Puffs and potato chips as more healthful than beef.“The idea that M&Ms, potato chips and cereal are somehow healthier than natural beef ignores scientific evidence and frankly doesn't measure up to logic,” said Colin Woodall, NCBA CEO.“These snack foods are high in sugar, carbohydrates and fats, while beef is a nutrient-rich food that provides essential protein, iron, zinc and numerous B vitamins,” he said“Scientists” pretend junk food is healthy while “mayors” pretend letting people shoot-up heroin and fentanyl helps society[AUDIO] - South Philly mom tears into officials for allowing a drug injection site in their neighborhood without informing residentsOnly some protests are allowed, others will be crushed. [AUDIO] - ‘TRUDEAU' - Will increase Police powers to stop ‘illegal' protests.Regardless of how annoying you think some protests are, remember this, the only protests that will be ‘legal' will be the ones in support of the government. How very Canada.

Hello and welcome to the ZimmCast. I'm Chuck Zimmerman. Last week I traveled to Houston for the annual Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show. We produced a customized virtual newsroom for NCBA on AgNewsWire.com. It is loaded with content including photos, interviews and session audio that is all available all media. In this week's episode I'm going to feature some of my interviews. Included are now-past president Jerry Bohn and new president Don Schiefelbein. They each bring their perspective to the last year and the year ahead. Also in this week's program you'll hear from NCBA staff members CEO Colin Woodall and VP of Government Affairs, Ethan Lane. A very well attended each year is the Cattlefax Outlook. Afterward I spoke with Cattlefax VP of Industry Relations and Analysis to get a summary of what the outlook is for the cattle industry. Finally, I thought you might enjoy hearing Markie Hageman who received the Beef Advocacy Program Advocate of the Year. It was a great conference. Like in Florida, there were no mask requirements or other ones. Over 6,000 people had a great time and that is the way I'd like to see all conferences from now on. No good reason not to. This week I'll be back on the agriblogging highway to the Crop Insurance and Reinsurance Bureau annual meeting near Palm Springs, CA. See you from there. So, that's the ZimmCast for this week. I hope you like it and thank you for listening.

This week's Open Mic guest is Colin Woodall, CEO of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. The COVID-19 pandemic has brought to light the price discovery issue and the disparity between what producers are receiving for their animals and what consumers are paying for beef from the meat case. Consolidation in the meatpacking industry has drawn the most criticism, but analysis by academia and economists on Capitol Hill point to a number of different sources for the imbalance. In this interview, Woodall discusses the challenge before the industry and implications of certain proposals as well as the need for growth in the global trade arena.

This week's Open Mic guest is Colin Woodall, CEO of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. The beef producers have seen their fair share of adversity from the COVID-19 pandemic, but have also seen a resurgence in consumer demand with more meals consumed at home. In this interview, Woodall discusses opportunities for direct marketing to consumers and the need for additional regional processing facilities. Woodall speaks to NCBA's efforts to increase price discovery in the auction market and addresses reform efforts of the beef checkoff. Woodall says NCBA stands ready to work with the incoming Biden Administration's regulatory and legislative agenda and is also working on sustainability strategies.

This week's guest on Open Mic is Colin Woodall, CEO of the National Cattlemen's Beef Association. After serving for 15 years on the front lines for the beef industry in Washington, Woodall assumed the reins of the association last year. Consumer demand for beef has helped sustain cattle prices, but the industry is looking forward to an increase in export demand through new trade agreements. The Texas native says NCBA members will be more aggressive in defending themselves in the public eye about the positive attributes to the beef industry and are prepared for some long battles over tough legislative and regulatory issues.
