EPISODE 69 DETAILS Line 1 Hereford Cattle & Nebraska Cultivated Meat Update Line 1 Hereford Cattle For Sale, Division about Nebraska Cultivated Meat Ban EF1 Cattle Company: Why Line 1 Hereford Cattle Welcome to EF1 Cattle Company where our Line 1 Herefords are meticulously linebred to ensure consistent, high-performing genetics, making them a top choice for commercial beef production. Their proven predictability enhances herd uniformity, fertility, and feed efficiency, adding long-term value for ranchers focused on genetic improvement. EF1 Cattle Company Line 1 Hereford Cattle: Built For Longevity, Soundness, & Exceptional Performance At EF1 Cattle Company, our Line 1 Hereford two-year-old bulls are carefully raised using a “low and slow” approach to ensure optimal longevity, soundness, and performance in real-world conditions. These bulls are raised entirely on their mothers' milk, with no creep feed, to develop naturally. We wean in early winter and transition to a developing ration, preparing bulls for spring turnout on lush grass where their superior genetics truly shine. During their second year, our Line 1 Hereford bulls spend summer and fall grazing native grass, with access to free-choice minerals and salt. As sale time nears, bulls are moved to a 40-acre paddock near headquarters, where they receive a precisely balanced, low mega-calorie ration. Unlike other bulls pushed too hard for fast growth, our bulls develop muscle shape and thickness gradually—just like an athlete training steadily for peak performance. This method ensures the bulls have the endurance to cover more cows while maintaining their condition, making them an ideal choice for ranchers seeking long-lasting, high-performance genetics. Nebraska Ag Interests Push Back On Proposed Cultivated Meat Ban At least two major ag groups are not supporting a proposal to ban cultivated proteins as proposed last month by Neb. Gov. Jim Pillen and State Sen. Barry DeKay. The Nebraska Farm Bureau and Nebraska Cattlemen separately announced support for specific provisions in the proposal that requires special labeling and standards for protein derived from the cells of food animals, but the entities do not support a total ban of the lab-produced products. The Farm Bureau supports the restriction of plant-based and cultivated proteins being labeled “meat” and favors establishment of state-level laws covering potential mislabeling of such proteins. Similarly, the Cattlemen support clear labeling requirements for alt-proteins but not a complete ban as product developers should be able to compete in the marketplace SPONSORS Trans Ova Genetics https://transova.com/ @TransOvaGenetics American Gelbvieh Association https://gelbvieh.org/ @AmericanGelbvieh Allied Genetic Resources https://alliedgeneticresources.com/ @AlliedGeneticResources Clear Springs Cattle Company https://www.bredforbalance.com/female-sale Axiota Animal Health https://axiota.com/ @MultiminUSA Jorgensen Land & Cattle https://jorgensenfarms.com/ @JorLandCat Ranch Channel https://ranchchannel.com/ @RanchChannel Questions & Concerns From The Field?

EPISODE 45 DETAILS Nebraska Launches Battle Against Cultivated Meat Nebraska Poised to Fight Cultivated Meat Nebraska Executive Order Enacted By Governor Nebraska is poised to become the fourth U.S. state to formally institute laws that restrict the sale of cultivated meat, now that Gov. Jim Pillen has signed an executive order prohibiting state agencies and contractors from buying cultivated meat products starting in 2025. Pillen is working with the Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) to develop new guidelines to “protect the state's agriculture industry as well as consumers, from lab-grown meat. Pillen also is calling on the NDA to begin developing a rulemaking process to ensure that any cultivated meat products sold in stores in Nebraska are “properly labeled and are not marketed next to natural meat on the same shelves.” Plans also call for the Nebraska state legislature to begin drafting a law to ban lab-grown meat in the Cornhusker State that could go into effect next year, the announcement said. Florida became the first state to enact a cultivated meat ban criminalizing the manufacture and sale of cell-cultured meat that went into effect July 1 and prompted an outcry from investors in biotech and food companies, in addition to sparking a lawsuit by alternative protein company Upside Foods. Similar legislation was introduced In Alabama and Ohio soon after the initial move on cultivated meat by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis in May.

Filling in for Adam McManus I'm Ean Leppin Hindu Extremists Attack House Church in India A mob of 150 Hindu extremists attacked a house church in northern India earlier this month. The mob broke into the house, vandalizing the property and beating the 15 Christians inside. The violence continued until police arrived who proceeded to delay filing a case. Pastor Rajesh Bhomi told Morning Star News, “We are enduring immense hatred from all corners . . . Yet I believe God chooses only a few for this great mission of facing persecution. I am thankful to the Lord that he has chosen me. Through this pain and trials too, I want to serve the Lord.

Blasphemous Parody at the Olympics Paris held the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics last Friday. The event included drag queens doing a parody of Leonardo da Vinci's painting of the Last Supper. Gavin Calver with the UK Evangelical Alliance posted on X, “It really was appalling to see Christianity so openly mocked in the opening ceremony with the unbelievably crass portrayal of the Last Supper. Utterly insensitive, unnecessary & offensive.” Galatians 6:7 says, “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” Biden Admin Sentences Pro-life Mother In the U.S., the Biden administration continues to put pro-lifers in prison. A court sentenced Bevelyn Beatty Williams to over three years in prison last week. This came after the 33-year-old mother was sharing the Gospel outside an abortion mill. She wrote on her fundraising page, “I was persecuted as a Christian standing for my beliefs when it comes to life. This is devastating news. Not only is this bond extensive for the accused crime, but [the judge] made it very clear in the courtroom that she was going to an make example out of me.” Nebraska Supreme Court Upholds Pro-family Act Last Friday, the Supreme Court of Nebraska upheld a piece of legislation known as the “Let Them Grow Act.” The bill limits abortion to 12 weeks of pregnancy and bans sex-change procedures on children. Nebraska's Republican Gov. Jim Pillen said he was “grateful for the court's thorough and well-reasoned opinion upholding these important protections for life and children in Nebraska.” Americans Less Confident in the Church A recent Gallup survey found 32% of U.S. adults have confidence in the church or organized religion. Confidence in organized religion was over 60% through much of the 1970s and 80s. Confidence remained over 50% in the 90s. However, it has fallen drastically since 2000. Americans have low confidence in many other institutions including higher education, the medical system, the U.S. Supreme Court, and banks. Americans have the most confidence in small business, the military, and the police. U.S. Economic Growth Beat Expectations The U.S. economy beat expectations during the second quarter of this year. Real gross domestic product grew 2.8% at an annual rate according to the Commerce Department. That's up from 1.4% during the first quarter and 2.5% during 2023. Business and consumer spending drove the growth. Scientists Discover Red Dye Mentioned in the Bible And finally, researchers with the Israel Antiquities Authorities discovered an ancient textile fragment in a Judean desert cave back in 2016. Researchers believe the fabric is 3,800 years old, and they recently published their findings on how it was produced. The study found the textile was dyed red using tiny insects known as kermes from oak trees. The scarlet-red color was rare and expensive in the ancient world. Professor Zohar Amar of Bar-Ilan University tied the findings to the Bible, “In the Bible, the dye extracted from oak scale insects is referred to as 'scarlet worm'. 'Worm' was used as a general term for various insects and their developmental stages in ancient times, and a reference to the colour 'scarlet worm' appears twenty-five times in the Bible.” Referencing the scarlet worm, God said in Isaiah 1:18, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.” And that's The World View in 5 Minutes on this Monday, July 29th, in the year of our Lord 2024.
