USDA'S Plan To Rebuild The Nation's Beef Cow Herd The USDA is developing a plan to rebuild the nation's historically low beef cattle herd but will not produce direct payments to producers, according to Secretary Brooke Rollins.  Rollins said “We have no current plants to offer any payment to beef producers.  The government getting involved can completely distort the markets.  No plan is even under consideration to insert ourselves through payments into the beef cattle industry.”  Unquote.  Instead, USDA's strategy will emphasize expanding access to working lands and developing risk-mitigation tools.  Rollins said more details will be released in mid-October. Justin Tupper, Owner/Operator of St. Onge Livestock in St. Onge, South Dakota and President of the U.S. Cattlemen's Association shares his insight on retaining heifers vs. selling heifers and what producers need to look for in the year(s) to come.   Featured Experts in the Cattle Industry Justin Tupper – St. Onge Livestock, U.S. Cattlemen's Association https://uscattlemen.org/ https://www.stongelivestock.com/ Follow on Facebook: @USCattlemens Follow on Facebook: @StOngeLivestock Mark Vanzee – Livestock, Equine, & Auction Time Expert https://www.auctiontime.com/ https://www.livestockmarket.com/ https://www.equinemarket.com/ Follow on Facebook: @LivestockMkt | @EquineMkt | @AuctionTime Kirk Donsbach – Financial Analyst at StoneX https://www.stonex.com/ Follow on Facebook: @StoneXGroupInc 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?

Recognizing and Addressing Cowherd Nutritional Deficiences Nutritional balance is a cornerstone of herd health and productivity. According to Dr. Kelly Sanders of Westway Feed Products, deficiencies often go unnoticed until performance suffers. Signs Of Nutritional Deficiencies In Cattle Poor Body Condition: Thin cows, visible ribs, or weak muscling. Reduced Fertility: Open cows, delayed cycling, or poor conception rates. Coat and Hoof Issues: Rough hair coats, brittle hooves, or slow shedding. Growth Challenges in Calves: Reduced weight gains or uneven growth patterns. How To Correct Deficiencies Forage Testing: Identify nutrient gaps in hay and pasture. Targeted Supplementation: Provide liquid or block supplements to balance protein, energy, and minerals. Management Adjustments: Ensure adequate feed availability during high-demand stages such as lactation and breeding. Dr. Sanders emphasizes that proactive nutrition not only boosts herd performance but also maximizes returns on investment in genetics. Planning For Feeder Cattle Marketing In 2026 Looking ahead, market planning is critical for cattlemen aiming to maximize returns on their calf crop. Kurt Donsbach of StoneX Financial shares insights on what producers should prepare for in 2026. Key Marketing Considerations Market Volatility: Expect fluctuations tied to feed costs, beef demand, and global trade. Uniformity Matters: Buyers continue to pay premiums for uniform, weaned, and preconditioned cattle. Leverage Genetics: Aligning bull selection with market goals increases calf value. Forward Contracts & Risk Management: Explore tools like futures, options, and video sales to lock in profitability. Action Steps For Producers Evaluate herd performance and set marketing goals early. Build buyer relationships now to maximize market options. Stay updated on market reports and risk management tools from trusted advisors like StoneX.

What a perfect way to finish off season 8! This episode with Dr. Barbara Parks was fun, fascinating and fully geeky - my fave. We turned over a lot of stones, discussing clicker training - why many people think it doesn't work, what can go wrong and how to move into a place of understanding and success with this very helpful tool, especially in the realm of body work and other care practices, getting into many of my burning questions about equine body work, from how to set a boundary with a client, to when to have a hard conversation with an owner, to what to do when your treatments aren't feeling like they are working. We traveled far in this conversation and it was a treat! This is definitely a must-listen episode if you are an equine manual therapist or if you have a body worker for your horse(s).  After this episode we're taking a breather as I launch the Whole Horse Collective, my new communuty membership, based on nine years of the Whole Horse Apprenticeship. Keep your eyes peeled for more details! I'll be back for the start of season 9 in late November 2025 - more awesome horsey guests and mind and heart-opening conversations to come. See you then!  Dr. Barbara Parks is a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Equine Rehabilitation Practitioner who has built her practice around the intersection of evidence-based rehabilitation and whole-horse wellness. Barbara holds multiple certifications, including NBCAAM-certified Equine Massage Therapist and PATH Intl. Certified Therapeutic Riding Instructor, and has completed extensive continuing education in equine biomechanics, orthopedic assessment, hoof care, nutrition, and behavior. Her approach to equine rehabilitation is integrative and guided by a deep respect for the horse's physical and emotional experience. She specializes in using positive reinforcement training as both a therapeutic tool and a way to improve equine body awareness, movement, and emotional regulation during rehab. Based in the greater Nashville, Tennessee area, Barbara offers in-person therapy for horse and rider, virtual consultations, online educational courses, and rehab boarding on a track system designed to support natural movement and healing. Whether she's working with a high-level performance horse or helping a backyard companion recover from injury, Barbara's mission is the same: to support long-term soundness and whole-horse wellness through compassionate, informed care. https://www.drbarbaraparks.com/

Mike Buskohl graduated from Palmer Chiropractic College "sometime last century" and spent years treating human patients before becoming certified for animal chiropractic by the AVCA. He feels fortunate to have studied under the most significant figure in animal chiropractic: Sharon Willoughby, DC,DVM. For the last 25 years he has focused his efforts on equine chiropractic and biomechanics. In 2013, it was his great privilege to assist Olympian Melanie Smith-Taylor in a series of clinics teaching young riders better communication skills. Although he has worked with equine athletes of many disciplines, for the last 12-14 years he has focused primarily in the hunter/jumper world. Mike is currently working with a team at Bellis Show Jumping to create a rehabilitation center

In this episode of the HX podcast, as part of our "Well at Work" series, I had the privilege of speaking with Justin Long, an author who shared his incredible story of resilience. I was so impacted by his journey, which he says truly began when he got sober at age 32 after years as a "raging alcoholic filled with self-loathing". Justin recounts growing up in an emotionally dysfunctional household, shaped by generational trauma, where he was made to feel he had no value. This led him to a life of searching for external validation through alcohol and other harmful behaviors. Justin's path to healing has been a lifelong journey involving AA, a pivotal mentor named Roland, and transformative trauma therapy. We talk about how he learned to develop self-awareness, challenge those negative beliefs instilled in him since childhood, and shift from self-loathing to self-love. He now applies these profound lessons to his leadership role at Spring Hill Equine Veterinary Clinic, where he focuses on knowing himself to lead himself, understanding his team as individuals, and creating a positive culture where people can grow. His message is a powerful reminder that if you don't feel good about who you are, you have the power to change that. If you'd like to check out his books, click here for more details.  I hope you enjoy this episode! Stacie More episodes at StacieBaird.com.

Season 5, EPISODE 254 Source & Age Verification Program For Feeder Cattle Sired By Gelbvieh & Balancer Bulls What Is the Balancer® Edge Program? The Balancer® Edge program, developed by the American Gelbvieh Association (AGA), is designed to add value for cattle producers by verifying Gelbvieh and Balancer genetics in their herds. To qualify, at least 75% of sires must be registered Gelbvieh or Balancer bulls, with each bull carrying a minimum of 25% Gelbvieh genetics. Verification Requirements for Producers Participation in Balancer® Edge requires simple but essential documentation, including: First and last calf born dates Headcount support Registration papers of sires to confirm Gelbvieh genetics This verification process ensures genetic accuracy and builds buyer confidence in Gelbvieh and Balancer-influenced cattle. Market Value Through Source & Age Verification (SAV) Since its launch in 2004, Source and Age Verification (SAV) has been a proven tool for U.S. beef producers. Balancer® Edge automatically qualifies cattle for SAV, opening doors to value-added marketing programs such as: China Export Verification Program Non-Hormone Treated Cattle (NHTC) Program for the EU Verified Natural Beef GAP 5-Step Animal Welfare and others Additionally, Balancer® Edge documentation can: Establish cattle age at the processor Serve as proof of maturity for grading purposes Ensure cattle qualify as A maturity if under 30 months of age at harvest Third-Party Verification With IMI Global The AGA has partnered with IMI Global, an accredited, independent verification company. IMI Global evaluates livestock attributes, production practices, and compliance to ensure unbiased and trustworthy certification for Balancer® Edge participants. Cost & Tag Options for Producers Enrollment in Balancer® Edge is affordable and straightforward: $3.00 per head (includes tags + application processing) Producers may select from 982 or 840 EID tags (840 EID tags require a premise ID) Combo sets (visual tag + EID) available for an additional $1.25/head Standard turnaround time: approx. 2 weeks from order date Rush orders available for an extra fee Why Choose Balancer® Edge? By participating in the Balancer® Edge program, producers gain: Verified Gelbvieh and Balancer genetics Access to global and domestic value-added beef markets Documentation for age, source, and maturity verification Affordable verification backed by trusted third-party certification Find out more from the American Gelbvieh Association, and marketing programs by clicking HERE. Cattle Industry News Cattlemen's Beef Board Approves $38 Million Budget The Cattlemen's Beef Board (CBB) will invest approximately $38.1 million into programs of beef promotion, research, consumer information, industry information, foreign marketing, and producer communications during fiscal 2026, subject to USDA approval. In action at the end of its September 3-4 meeting in Denver, Colorado, the Beef Promotion Operating Committee (BPOC) approved Checkoff funding for a total of 14 "Authorization Requests" - or grant proposals - for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 2025. The committee, which includes 10 producers and importers from the Cattlemen's Beef Board and 10 producers from the Federation of State Beef Councils, also recommended full Cattlemen's Beef Board approval of a budget amendment to reflect the split of funding between budget categories affected by their decisions. REFERENCES: https://www.nationalbeefwire.com/cattlemen-s-beef-board-approves-38-million-budget-lists-priorities-it-will-invest USDA OK's New Tech For Beef Grading USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) is moving forward with the use of three new vision grading instruments to support the agency's beef grading program. AMS approved the use of new technologies that produce marbling scores for Prime, Choice and Select grades for beef, according to a statement announcing the tech updates. The three new vision grading instruments also will assist in the application of Yield Grades and measuring of the ribeye area that often is used in scores of Certified Beef Programs. These certifications are issued by a range of organizations and companies, including Certified Angus Beef, National Beef Certified Premium, Tyson's Chairman's Reserve Certified Premium Beef and Nolan Ryan's Tender Aged Beef, for example. The technology allows for consistent, uniform application of USDA beef grades, which drive payments for producers, help value determinations for packers and communicate quality to U.S. consumers.

China was the fourth largest destination for U.S. beef last year but President Donald Trump's tariffs on China starting in February soured trade relations. In March, China revoked export licenses for U.S. producers, leaving the beef industry with only a few eligible exporters. Compared to the first seven months of 2024, exports to China are down 46% and down 47% by value at $481 million. Among the top six destinations for U.S. beef, only South Korea booked a volume increase through July — up 9% by both volume and value. All the others, including Japan, Mexico, Canada and Taiwan, are off so far this year. However, according to a recent Rabo Research Report, global cattle prices continue to rise as global volumes are contracting.  Although, for example, beef imports from Brazil into the U.S. rose 25% compared to last year in the first half of 2025, higher tariffs will have a material impact on the trade between Brazil and the US, analysts assured. In Europe, the tight market is also attracting higher imports. The latest round of U.S. tariffs included an additional 40% on the already existing 10% global rate and 26.4% non-quota duty on Brazilian beef imports. Brazil supplied a record volume of beef into the U.S. in the first half of 2025, and RaboResearch believes this additional tariff will have a material impact on the trade between Brazil and the U.S. Nearly a month after the U.S. began applying further import tariffs on Brazilian beef, shipments remain strong in a year-over-year comparison, and shipments to the U.S. have remained relatively stable even after the tariffs have taken effect.

September invites fresh structure and, if we're not careful, fresh burnout. In this conversation, licensed professional counselor and Enneagram coach Becky Lauridsen reframes self-care as protection (not pampering) and opens the door to brain health with neurofeedback. From postpartum anxiety and over-functioning to rodeo performance and concussion recovery, we explore how to build capacity on purpose, before the crash out.Becky shares the origin story of IOWEME (“I owe me”), a preventative, accessible, guilt-free self-care model born from her own burnout and postpartum anxiety. We unpack the crucial difference between self-indulgence (instant relief, little ROI) and true self-care (sometimes uncomfortable, always compounding). We also trade the myth of work–life balance for work–life harmony: a “pleasing arrangement of parts” calibrated to your actual rhythms (hello, 5:30am clarity!).Then Becky takes us into ROAM (Rodeo Optimization and Mindset) and explains low-energy neurofeedback as a practical path to brain health. Think “parking brake off” for your frontal lobe: better regulation, focus, and recovery after high-intensity performance (for athletes and their horses). If you're craving capacity that's truly sustainable, this one's for you.Listen in for …The self-care vs. self-indulgence distinction, and why protection beats pampering.The IOWEME model: preventative, accessible, and simple mental-health support.Work/life harmony (not balance): designing a “pleasing arrangement of parts.”The “check-engine light” for burnout (irritability over the stray socks = signal).Neurofeedback 101: electrical vs. chemical brain systems, suppression, and flexibility.The “parking brake” metaphor: why so many high-capacity women feel stuck in Delta.Performance & recovery for rodeo athletes, and why brain care must match body care.The pony case study (!) and what equine sessions revealed about regulation.TL;DR (Minute by Minute)00:00 “Conversations” > “episodes” + why listener feedback matters.01:11 Meet Becky: LPC, EMDR, Enneagram coach, LENS neurofeedback provider.06:17 Postpartum anxiety, burnout, and the wake-up call: it starts with me.10:01 IOWEME origin: from reactive therapy culture to preventative care.12:32 Responsibility & boundaries: self-care as non-negotiable, not “extra.”16:00 Self-indulgence vs self-care (instant relief vs lasting effect).18:54 “Outweigh the indulgence”: a practical rule that still leaves room for fun.23:44 Non-negotiable habits: why early-morning quiet time compounds.27:34 Work/life harmony > balance; design for your real energy ebb and flow.31:47 ROAM begins: from rodeo roots to neurofeedback certification.35:49 Neurofeedback explained: amplitude, frequency, suppression.38:59 The parking brake brain: lifting Delta lock for flexible regulation.41:01 Equine neurofeedback: the pony case and practical behavior change.43:35 Head trauma, concussions, CTE risk, and recovery as standard practice.47:26 Where to find Becky + what's next.Where to Go From HereQuestion for you: When the day feels heavy, which shows up first: self-indulgence or true self-care?

So often, riders practice their riding without ever realising what they're actually reinforcing. And more often than not, it's the exact habits or tension patterns that are holding them back... In this episode of Sunday Strides, we're talking about the unconscious patterns that sneak into your riding. Whether it's physical (like tension in your left side) or mental (like self-doubt or over-analysis), these patterns become the default if we don't intentionally interrupt them. You'll hear a real-life example of a rider who changed everything with just one tweak in her lesson, and how you can use this same approach in your own ride this week. We'll also kick off a fun new challenge in just a few days that builds on this exact idea

Season 5, EPISODE 253 Blue Roan Quarter Horses For Sale: Superior Bloodlines, Disposition, and Conformation For over 77 years, the Froelich Legacy Quarter Horse program has been dedicated to raising Quarter Horses with the kind of conformation, color, and disposition that make them stand out in any setting. From ranch work to the show pen, our horses are bred to perform with steady minds, strong builds, and eye-catching color. Breeding Legacy: Blue Roans Before They Were Cool Our roan program began with the AQHA stallion McKeag, whose influence established us as respected breeders of rare and beautiful Blue Roans. McKeag's legacy continues through his son FQHR McLovin, who has proven to pass on an even stronger disposition than his sire. Customers often remark that McLovin foals are “born broke” with a natural work ethic—colts and fillies that simply need to be taught the buttons.  Our Current Stallions FQHR McLovin – A direct McKeag son carrying forward his sire's stamp with even more disposition and trainability. His foals are known for their honest minds and ability to go straight to work. Siring horses that have excelled in versatility and having sired a 6-time world champion in roping.  FQHR Conagher – A younger stallion quickly making his mark. His foals show outstanding conformation, muscle definition, and personable, loving natures that make them a joy to raise. LHR Smart Sugar Boon – A powerful performance cross on foundation blood. His pedigree ties back to legends like Peptoboonsmal and Smart Little Lena, bringing athleticism and cow sense while maintaining the kind of mind we demand in our program. Our focus today is on producing horses with balanced conformation, proven genetics, and minds that fit any rider. Whether for ranch work, arena competition, or simply a trusted partner to ride, Froelich Legacy Quarter Horses are bred to handle the job and look good doing it. Annual Quarter Horse Production Sale: 3rd Saturday of September The Froelich Legacy Quarter Horses program proudly offers Blue Roan Quarter Horses for sale each year during the annual production sale, traditionally held on the third Saturday in September. These horses are more than just beautiful—they bring together the ideal combination of athletic ability, trainability, and color that discerning buyers want. The breeding philosophy is simple: breed Quarter Horses we love to ride—selecting bloodlines from the greats to produce horses with the perfect balance of cow sense, athletic ability, and a steady temperament. Whether pulling calves to the branding iron, roping in the arena, or enjoying a relaxed evening trail ride, these colorful Quarter Horses continually prove their versatility.

Cattle Industry News Livestock Market Report & Outlook From Dr. Andrew Griffith The latest livestock comments from Livestock Marketing Specialist Dr. Andrew Griffith who said prices were strong for every class of animal offered on the market, which tends to bring optimism to all involved.  This optimism leads to thoughts of expanding herd sizes to capitalize on the strong market.   He continued by saying fed cattle traded unevenly steady last week.  To put this market into perspective he asked the question, how many finished cattle does it take to purchase a new pickup truck? Assuming a 1,400-pound steer and an $80,000 pickup truck, it would take 23 head to have equal value. Using similar elementary math, it would have taken 27 head to purchase a similar yet slightly lower-priced truck in 2024, and it would have taken 25 to 26 head to purchase a similar pickup truck in 2021. This comparison means absolutely nothing other than the value of a finished steer has increased more than a pickup truck in relative terms. However, it is a rather small increase, relatively speaking. He wrapped up by saying how these relative prices change over time is not all that important. What is important is if cattle feeders are making money or not.

Monthly cow prices in 2025 have climbed steadily, rising from $126 in January to a record $157/cwt in July, highlighting a strong and consistent upward trend throughout the year. For perspective, prices were just $62 in 2019, meaning values have surged $81/cwt over six years or a 131% increase. Looking further back, cow prices were $43 in 2003, rising steadily over the next decade to peak at $107 in 2014 and $103 in 2015. That historic run was followed by a multi-year downturn before the current rally pushed prices to unprecedented levels.  REFERENCES: https://www.nationalbeefwire.com/u-s-cattle-report New World Screwworm Soaring In Mexico Mexico's official count shows that New World screwworm is continuing to spread rapidly in the country, keeping the U.S. border closed to cattle imports and redirecting production to the Mexican packing industry. According to Mexican government data viewed earlier and cited by the Reuters news agency, Authorities had a tally of 5,086 cases through August 17, 53% more than July's total. The infestations were mostly afflicting cattle, though cases were also reported in sheep, horses and dogs. USDA last month reinstated a ban on Mexican livestock imports — the third halt since late 2024 to imports of cattle to U.S. feedlots and packers. The agency announced a $750-million sterile fly production facility in Texas to combat the flesh-eating parasite, which had been eradicated in North America for decades before a rapid march northward starting two years ago in Panama. In Texas alone, USDA estimates a screwworm outbreak could cost the state $1.8 billion in livestock deaths and other costs.
