Podcasts about happy cows

Join us for today's show as Alan and Jeff discuss new standards for today's dairy cows!

If you got the Legally Blonde reference, we appreciate you. With the markets closed for Good Friday these are the final numbers for the week and it is all down.  Barrel is down 14, block is down 16 and butter is down 5.  Spring Flush seems to be having an affect with additional milk coming to market.  To define spring flush, happy cows produce more milk, and spring flush is when the dairy cow diet is moved from stored grain to grazing pastures.  Happy cows.  Savalfoods.com | Find us on Social Media: Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, LinkedIn

Erin Michalski joins Yo today to remind us of the role American Ranchers play to feed the world safe beef. Erin's story is inspirational - she left her career in investment banking and living the good life in Connecticut to join the family business, ranching in Colorado at the Eagle Rock Ranch. A life she has embraced with joy and grace. This quote sums up Erin: “She Rides the Ranch so Wild and Free, A Cowgirl She Will Forever Be.” Here are some of the questions we explored: · How did you come to ranching? · How did you find you positioning in the direct-to-consumer business? · How is it working in a male-dominated industry? · What have you learned about teamwork? · What do you think about finding your purpose in life? Erin is definitely a “Girl, Taking the Lead!”: She began a direct to consumer effort with the focus we can have 100% confidence that the beef you are purchasing came from an animal that was raised with the highest humane standards in the industry. This is her TOP priority! Her cattle graze on 1,000s of acres at 9,000 feet, eating protein rich timothy grass, drinking mountain run-off water, and breathing pristine clean air. Plus her beef is pasture raised and grain finished. After harvest, her beef is dry aged for 21 days. The combination creates perfectly marbled beef with tremendous flavoring. No wonder her beef tastes so good!! Gotta say: I'm one satisfied happy customer! More about Erin: Erin is a Colorado Native who spent 17 years back East before moving home to pursue her current passion - promoting the western way of life. Erin is married and has 3 children. She calls Breckenridge, CO home and splits her time between the mountains and her Family cattle ranch. In her free time, Erin enjoys riding horses, skiing and hiking with her dog Willow.

Thanks for joining me for today's episode with Hart Dairy founding farmer, Dr. Richard Watson. Hart Dairy is headquartered out of Waynesboro Georgia and they are, in many ways, setting an example as to how sustainable grass-based dairy farming can be done on a large scale here in the US. As you'll pick up quickly from his accent, Richard ain't from around here … but he has been living and working in Georgia and other parts of the Southern US for many years … bringing with him knowledge and training from his home country of New Zealand where all animal agriculture is primarily grass and pasture based. I hope you'll listen to this conversation because I think … regardless of your role in the food community … you'll get something out of it. Just a little explanation on what you'll be hearing … the first part of this conversation takes place as Richard is driving me around the farm … initially I was intending to use this part of the interview for the article I'll be writing for the upcoming issue of Southern Soil, but once we got rolling I felt like Richard did such a great job of clearly and concisely explaining the reasons that the dairy industry is largely a confined animal operation with corn as integral part of the diet … I asked if we include the interview in it's entirety as the podcast. So, through this conversation… you'll ride along with in the truck and then we'll move out into the pasture and hang out with the girls for the remainder… you will cows moving around and eating and there is a recurring mechanical sound from the central pivot which was nearby. It's early enough in the morning there's still a bit of a coolish tiny breeze… the grass is green, the sky is blue and the cows are happy. Topics include: Confined feeding for cattle - why it's the dominant model in the US for dairy farms Benefits of grazing cattle on pasture all year Cows and climate change - are cows the problem or can they can be part of the solution?

Erin Amerman doesn't like cows - she LOVES cows (and pigs and chickens and dogs and cats and...). And she proves it daily at Critter Creek Farm Sanctuary. Their driving mission is to promote compassion for farm animals through rescue and education and to support other farm sanctuaries. They believe strongly that we are all in this together for the animals. Critter Creek homes the largest amount of rescued cows in our nation. This is her good journey and you should listen to it right cow (see what I did there?).

Even with a reduced number of growers in the state, the hemp crop in Wisconsin this year looks pretty good.  Farm director, Pam Jahnke was able to talk with Brian Kuhn who deals with the hemp program at the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection.  He shares information about this year's hemp crop and about the licensing transition for the 2022 growing season. A healthy rumen is essential to the efficiency and milk production of a dairy cow.  Rumen microbes in that environment help to make everything work.  Lisa Mortz, microbiome scientist at Native Microbials shares what research is being done to help replenish the microbe population through a cow's diet and why this is so important.  Freeze drying has been a very effective process to preserve and utilize these microbes. Wisconsin had a very strong showing at the recent World Forage Analysis Superbowl at the World Dairy Expo, however reports seem quite mixed across the state of Wisconsin when talking about forage quality and supply.  Dan Undersander, UW-Extension forage specialist, says the United States overall looks like it will be short on supply due to dry weather across much of the map.  He is encouraging Wisconsin farmers to consider marketing any extra forage they may have, and if possible take one more late cutting closer to November to increase supply.

This week Vincent talks to the indefatigable Glen Herud, dairy pioneer and founder of the Happy Cow Milk Company – where cows keep their young, the calves are not sent to slaughter and the milking shed is mobile, that is, it goes to cows rather than cows coming to the shed. Hard at it since 2006, Glen faced technical, political and financial hurdles to get Happy Cow launched. Now on the cusp of its launch, Glen joins us to answer questions about methane, milk, money and starting a moovement.https://happycowmilk.co.nz/

Glenn Elzinga (@alderspring_ranch) is a former Forest Ecologist turned Rancher. Glenn and his wife Caryl run Alderspring Ranch, a small artisanal family ranch that has passionately produced award-winning grassfed organic beef for over 20 years in the Idaho mountains.    Alderspring Cowboys live with the cattle during the summer months, rotationally grazing them over 46,000 acres of certified organic wild permit rangeland, restoring health to ecologically sensitive areas! Grazing these specific wild grasses creates supremely nutrient dense beef, as well! Alderspring has also built a successful online business, shipping organic grass fed beef direct to customers for the last 15 years! Alderspring is a climate positive and carbon negative operation!   Please consider supporting the show on Patreon or Paypal so we can reach more people:  https://www.patreon.com/CarnivoreCast www.paypal.me/CarnivoreCast   This episode is brought to you by Optimal Carnivore.

Today we're going to talk about a company that doesn't get a ton of credit for bringing computing to homes across the world but should: Radio Shack. Radio Shack was founded by Theodore and Milton Deutschmann in 1921 in downtown Boston. The brothers were all about ham radio. A radio shack was a small structure on a ship that kept the radio equipment at the time. The name was derived from that slightly more generic term, given that one group of customers were radio officers outfitting ships.     By 1939 they would print a catalog and ship equipment over mail as well.    They again expanded operations in 1954 and would make their own equipment and sell it as well. But after too much expansion they ran into financial troubles and had to sell the company. When Charles Tandy bought the company for $300,000 in 1962, they had nine large retail stores.    Tandy had done well selling leather goods and knew how to appeal to hobbyists. He slashed management and cut the amount of stock from 40,000 items to 2,500. The 80/20 rule is a great way to control costs. Given the smaller amount of stock, they were able to move to smaller stores.    They also started to buy generic equipment and sell it under the Realistic brand, and started selling various types of consumer electronics. They used the locations that people bought electronics over the mail to plan new, small store openings. They gave ownership to store managers. And it worked. The growth was meteoric for the next 16 years. They had some great growth hacks. They did free tube testing. They gave a battery away for free to everyone that came in. They hired electronics enthusiasts. And people loved them.    They bought Allied Radio in 1970.and continued to grow their manufacturing abilities.    Tandy would pass away in 1978, leaving behind a legacy of a healthy company, primed for even more growth. Electronics continued to be more pervasive in the lives of Americans and the company continued its rapid growth, looking for opportunities to bring crazy new electronics products into people's homes. One was the TRS-80. Radio Shack had introduced the computer in 1977 using an operating system from Microsoft.    It sold really well and they would sell more than 100k of them before 1980. Although after that the sales would slowly go down with competition from Apple and IBM, until they finally sold the business off in the early 90s. But they stayed in computing. They bought Grid Systems Corporation to bring laptops to the masses in 1988. They would buy Computer City in 1991 and the 200 locations would become the Radio Shack Computer Centers.    They would then focus on IBM compatible computers under the Tandy brand name rather than the TRS line. Computers were on the rise and clearly part of the Radio Shack strategy. I know I'll never forget the Tandy Computer Whiz Kids that I'd come across throughout my adolescence.    In the early 90s, Radio Shack was actually the largest personal computer manufacturer in the world, building computers for a variety of vendors, including Digital Equipment Corporation and of course, themselves . Their expertise in acting as an OEM electronics factory turned out to be profitable in a number of ways. They also made cables, video tapes, even antennas. Primarily under the Tandy brand. This is also when they started selling IBM computers in Radio Shack stores. They also tried to launch their own big box retail stores.    They sold the Radio Shack Computer Centers to a number of vendors, including CompUSA and Fry's, during their explosive growth, in 1998. They would move from selling IBM to selling Compaq in Radio Shacks at that point.    Radio Shack hit its peak in 1999. It was operating in a number of countries and had basically licensed the name globally. This was a big year of change, though. This was around the time they sold the Tandy leather side of the business to The Leather Factory, which continues on. They also got rid of the Realistic brand and inked a deal to sell RCA equipment instead. They were restructuring. And it would continue on for a long time and rarely for the better.    Radio Shack began a slow decline in the upcoming millenia. The move into adjacencies alienated the hobbyists, who had always been the core Radio Shack shopper. And Radio Shack tried to move into other markets, cluing other companies into what their market was worth.    They had forgotten the lessons learned when Tandy took over the company and had more and more parts in the warehouses. More and more complex sales. More and more bigger stores. Again, the hobbyists were abandoning Radio Shack. By 2004 sales were down. The company started a high pressure plan and started hammering on the managers at the stores, constantly pushing them and by 2004 they rebelled with thousands of managers filing a class action suit.    And it wasn't just internal employees. They were voted the worst overall customer experience amongst any retailer for 6 years in a row. Happy Cows make happy milk. And it wasn't just about store managers. They went through six CEOs from 2006 to 2016.And 2006 was a tough year to kick such things off. They had to close 500 stores that year.    And the computer business was drying up. Dell, Amazon, Best Buy, Circuit City, and others were eating their lunch.    By 2009, they would rebrand as just The Shack and started to focus on mobile devices. Hobbyists were confused and there was less equipment on the shelves, driving even more of them online and to other locations. Seeing profit somewhere, they started to sell subscriptions to other services, like Dish Network.    They would kick off Amazon Locker services in 2012 but that wouldn't last but a year. They were looking for relevance.    Radio Shack filed Chapter 11 in 2015 after nearly 3 years of straight losses. And big ones. That's when they were acquired by General Wireless Inc for just over 26 million dollars. The plan was to make money by selling mobile phones and mobile phone plans at Radio Shacks. They would go into a big deal with Sprint, who would take over leases to half the stores, which would become Sprint stores, and sell mobile devices through Sprint, along with cell plans of course!   And there were law suits. From former debtors, leasers, and even people with gift cards.   Only problem is, General Wireless couldn't capitalize on the Sprint partnership in quite the way they planned and they went bankrupt in 2017 as well!   I don't envy Radio Shack CEO Steve Moroneso. Radio Shack was once the largest electronics chain in the world. But a variety of factors came into play. Big box retailers started to carry electronics. The Flavoradio was almost a perfect example of the rise and fall. They made it from the 70s, up until 2001 when they began their decline. It was unchanged throughout all of that growth. But after they got out of the radio business, things just… weren't right.    With 500 stores, he has a storied history. A 100 plus year old company, one that grew through multiple waves of technology: from ham radios to CB radios to personal computers in the 70s and 80s to cell phones. But they never really found the next thing once the cell phone market for Radio Shack started to dry up. They went from the store of the tinkerer with employees who cared, to a brand kinda' without an identity. If that identity will succeed, they need the next wave. Unless it's too late.    But we owe them our gratitude for helping the world by distributing many waves of technology. Just as I owe you dear listeners, for tuning in to yet another episode of the History of Computing Podcast. 

A special Thanksgiving Day Daily Bolt

Food is in the news today.   A lawsuit in Vermont claims Ben and Jerry's so-called environmentally friendly marketing is BULL because its famous ice cream really does not come from happy cows.......Also, Doordash is being taken to court with a charge its food delivery service is stealing customer  tips meant for drivers.  So, we will go In Depth on both these stories.......Also, the arrest of two guards who were supposed to be watching over Jeffrey Epstein the night he killed himself fuels yet more conspiracy theories.......Another day, another public impeachment inquiry hearing.......And as protests rage across Iran today, the Iranian regime has shut down the country's internet access, which leads us to ask the question:  could the American federal government do the same thing here, hitting a kill switch on the internet?
