This week on TWILA, we take you from Evangeline Parish, where crawfish farmers are already prepping next year's crop, to the marshes of Chauvin for the annual Farm Bureau Fishing Rodeo. We profile Dylan and Shelby Laster, Young Farmers & Ranchers finalists raising chickens, cattle, and kids with care, and we cheer on a Louisiana 4-H archer heading to the world stage.

For a stockdog, what is “real work” on a farm or ranch, and how is it different than a competitive trial? Is real work necessary for developing a well-rounded stockdog? What does "well-rounded" even mean, and for that matter, is it really all that important? Rancher, trainer, and trialer, Haley Hunewill is here to tell us.

Back in Episode 46 I vented about the deceptive labeling practices of dog food companies that make comparing the price of one brand to another nearly impossible.

Nominations are open for the 2025 Farm Dog of the Year contest. Chad Smith has more on the award that comes with cash prizes and bragging rights. Smith: The American Farm Bureau Federation's seventh annual Farm Dog of the Year contest, co-sponsored by Nestlé Purina PetCare, celebrates farm dogs and the many ways they support farmers and ranchers. AFBF Vice President of Communications Terri Moore talks about what makes the Farm Dog of the Year contest so important. Moore: It's really that it provides a window into the world of agriculture through a shared love of pets. People who may know nothing about agriculture feel this instant connection through something they love. And let's face it, we've had some pretty amazing farm dogs. This is our seventh year now, and you can go to fb.org and look at those first six videos and I dare you not to cry. Smith: Moore says the contest celebrates the many roles dogs play on farms and ranches across the country. Moore: The best candidates are dogs that are truly useful on the farm, whether that's as a watchdog, a herder, or a helper to its master. We've had some pretty dramatic stories of dogs saving the lives of people and other animals, but it doesn't have to be that dramatic either. And it's more than just being a good work dog. It's a dog that has a special place in the family's heart. It's both a companion and a worker. Smith: Moore says the nomination process is simple. Moore: Any Farm Bureau member can nominate their dog, and if you know another farmer who has a great dog, please encourage them to enter the dog. If you're not a member yet and have a pet you want to enter, that's easy as well. You could join us right at fb.org, and that nomination form is really simple. We're so fortunate to have Purina as a sponsor, and they provide $5,000 in prize money to the winner, plus a year's worth of pet food, and then our People's Choice pup winner will get $2,500. Smith: For more information or to nominate your dog, go to fb.org/farmdog. Chad Smith, Washington.

Imagine an early livestock guardian dog, laying out under the stars thousands of years ago, next to a band of sheep and goats somewhere in what is now Turkey. He sniffs the air and peers into the moonlit night searching for threats as his shepherd snores, and he thinks, “If only this bozo had Zoom and Cindy Benson, we might just understand each other.” Welcome to Farm Dog.

When you raise sheep on pasture surrounded by the largest carnivore in North America, mountain lions, and a local pack of wolves, you'd better have your act together when it comes to predator protection.

Most North Americans recognize the German Shepherd Dog and similar breeds as law enforcement, military, and search and rescue dogs. While the German Shepherd never quite caught on here as a farm and ranch worker, the “shepherd” in its name should tell us something about its history, and Ulf Kintzel is here to tell us about its present and future as a working stockdog.
