Killdeer are birds that are aggressively tolerant with a parenting instinct that is so strong it can override many of the stressors that they inevitably face when nesting in in open and highly disturbed areas. They have, in a strange way –the perfect temperament for success to thrive in modern Alberta. That may be one of the reasons, Killdeer are among the most encountered among all the Birds of Alberta.

Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. Season 6, EPISODE 277 Dry Creek Ranch: Passion For Red Angus Dry Creek Ranch in Amidon, North Dakota, is a family-run Red Angus cattle operation that focuses on raising registered and commercial cattle, selling breeding bulls, and offering ranch-raised beef directly to customers. The ranch is operated by the Robison family and emphasizes practical, efficient cattle genetics and long-term herd improvement, with activities that include private-treaty sales and ranch-direct beef marketing. It's part of the western North Dakota ranching tradition, combining working-ranch livestock production with a direct connection to consumers and other cattle producers in the region. Current State Of The Beef Business Beef prices are climbing faster than almost anything else in the consumer price index. The broad beef and veal category is up 15 percent over the past year, as of January. Uncooked ground beef has hit a new record high, after posting its biggest jump since June of 2020, according to new government data released last Friday. That stands out against the rest of the grocery aisle, where price pressures have eased. Chicken prices rose just over 1 percent in the past year, while milk prices have stayed mostly flat. At the wholesale level, the average value of choice beef in 2025 was up 16 percent from the previous year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Even major meatpackers like Tyson Foods are feeling the strain, with the company's beef division reporting quarterly losses since early 2024. The surge in beef prices has pushed the White House to respond. President Donald Trump has pledged to increase competition in beef processing and has expanded Argentine beef import quotas in an attempt to boost supply. But the situation is more complicated. The U.S. cattle herd has fallen to its smallest level since the early 1950's. Drought, higher production costs, and elevated interest rates have all made raising cattle more expensive. Don Close, a senior animal protein analyst at Terrain Ag, says the cattle industry is cyclical, but this downturn has lasted longer than expected. Right now, ranchers can make more money selling animals young for slaughter than keeping them to rebuild herds. And even if herd expansion started today, it wouldn't reach grocery store shelves until at least 2028 — meaning beef prices could stay high for years. Meanwhile, the U.S. has halted shipments of live cattle from Mexico following the return of the New World screwworm. Imports from South America may provide some relief, but those supplies are mostly used for ground beef and won't quickly solve the broader cattle shortage. And that is a quick snap shot of the current beef business Reference: https://fortune.com/2026/02/14/why-are-beef-prices-so-high-american-cattle-herd-inflation/ Five Federally Indicted For Alleged $220 Million Nationwide Cattle Fraud Scheme Five individuals were federally indicted last week for their roles in an alleged $220 million nationwide fraud scheme involving the online and direct-to-consumer meat business Agridime. Those indicted by a Fort Worth federal grand jury on February 11, 2026, were: Jed Wood of Fort Worth, Texas, charged with three counts of wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and one count of money laundering involving wiring more than $63,000 to a lender for “Home Payoff” Joshua Link of Strafford, Missouri, charged with ten counts of wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and two counts of money laundering, including wiring more than $527,000 to purchase real property Tia Link of Smithton, Missouri, charged with three counts of wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and one count of money laundering, including wiring more than $527,000 to purchase real property Taylor Bang of Killdeer, North Dakota, charged with eight counts of wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and one count of money laundering Royana Thomas of Arlington, Texas, charged with six counts of wire fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and one count of money laundering As alleged in the indictment, each of the defendants were associated with Agridime LLC, a business headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas that offered cattle sales and meat processing and retail services to the public.  Jed Wood served as the Operations Director.  Joshua Link served as the Executive Director.  Tia Link served as the Marketing Director.  Taylor Bang served as a cattle broker, and Royana Thomas served as the financial controller.  The indictment alleges that, from January 2021 through December 2023, the five defendants, acting through Agridime, perpetrated a fraud scheme in which they falsely represented to individual cattle purchasers, cattle ranchers, and feedlots that Agridime would use their funds to purchase specific individual cattle from each victim, raise the cattle, and eventually sell the meat from the same specific individual cattle for a profit.   In reality, as the indictment charges, the defendants did not use victim funds as promised and instead used newer cattle purchaser funds to pay Agridime operating expenses, pay funds owed by Agridime to earlier cattle purchasers, pay personal expenses, and purchase real property.  Reference: https://www.tsln.com/news/five-federally-indicted-for-alleged-220-million-nationwide-cattle-fraud-scheme-one-is-fugitive-on-fbi-wanted-list/ Featured Experts in the Cattle Industry Haley Robison - Dry Creek Ranch https://www.drycreekranchnd.com/ Follow On Facebook: @drycreekranchnd 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?

Tribes are among those expressing condolences to the family of 37-year-old Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot over the weekend by federal agents in Minneapolis. Tribes are also raising concerns for their citizens in the Twin Cities as the Trump administration's immigration actions continue in Minnesota. In a statement, the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe offered condolences and said it is standing in solidarity with its Band members and other Minneapolis residents. Tribal leaders are urging their members to carry tribal IDs and report any U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) interactions to the tribe, as leaders meet with federal, state, and local officials. The Sprit Lake Nation, Crow Creek Sioux Tribe, Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate, Rose Bud Sioux Tribe, and Standing Rock Sioux Tribe issued a joint statement saying they stand in solidarity with communities in Minnesota, and expressed condolences to the family of Pretti. The tribes say recent federal actions in Minnesota include the taking of a Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate member, but they did not provide additional information. The tribes say leaders are in contact with federal agencies and are urging tribal citizens to prioritize safety. The First Mesa Elementary School was built on the site of the Polacca Day School on the Hopi reservation. (Courtesy First Mesa Elementary School / Facebook) A teacher who was convicted of sexually abusing Hopi boys for nearly a decade was recently denied parole after the tribe and the U.S. attorney for Arizona penned a letter opposing his release. John Boone was hired as a teacher in 1979 at a Hopi school run by the Bureau of Indian Affairs. In 1987, the FBI found photos and videotapes of 142 nude boys at his home, and Boone was sentenced to life in prison. “His name is still widely known on the reservation, even though it's been close to 40 years. We still continue to suffer to this day.” That's Hopi Chairman Lamar Keevama. “Unfortunately, we've lost some either to suicide or alcohol or substance abuse. Nothing will ever make up for what was done. It's an open wound that will never go away.” U.S. Attorney Timothy Courchaine has watched the case closely – even sending a letter to the U.S. Parole Commission in tandem with Hopi leadership. “And with the understanding that federal special trust responsibility doesn't end at the sentencing.” Courchaine also credits his tribal liaison Kiyoko Patterson (Navajo) and pays close attention. “She really stays on this for us.” The US agreed to pay $13 million to 58 victims. He says Boone broke the tribe's trust. “That creates a generational impact … But you've heard it from Attorney General [Pam] Bondi, you've heard it from Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, that this Department of Justice has to be ensuring sex offenders and those who prey on children are held accountable and prevented from reoffending at all.” Jaylynn Hicks sits on an old stretch of road at the badlands near Killdeer, N.D., on Thursday, October 16, 2025. (Photo: Chuck Miner) For the first time in 40 years, a Native person is wearing the crown as Miss Rodeo North Dakota. Brian Bull of Buffalo's Fire has the story. 24-year-old Jaylynn Hicks of Dunn Center scored highest in the categories of horsemanship, appearance, and personality. She competed twice before, but persevered and will now travel the rodeo circuit across the country. Hicks is one-quarter French Canadian Chippewa, of the Turtle Mountain Band. The last known Native rodeo queens were Janet Voight in 1986, and Audrey Hall, in 1954. Both were with the Three Affiliated Tribes Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara. Hicks says she's happy to continue this representation. “I love the fact that Native American culture has such a heavy influence on the Western industry. Whether you want to look at the horsemanship, the jewelry with we see such a huge influence.  The leatherwork, the fringe we wear on our jackets. That's all from Native American culture.” Hicks was declared Miss Rodeo North Dakota last year, and was formally coronated earlier this month. Besides educating people about rodeo culture and the Western industry, Hicks will also promote awareness of Angelman syndrome, a genetic condition that affects her niece, Sissy.

Some birds, such as the Northern Bobwhite, get their name from their songs or vocalizations: "Bobwhite! Bobwhite!" The Killdeer is another bird named for its song: "Kill-dee, kill-dee, kill-dee." There are others. "Poorwill, poorwill, poorwill," says this Common Poorwill. This bird is the cousin of the Whip-poor-will, another bird that calls its own name.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

The cries of a Killdeer are familiar across most of the U.S. during spring and summer. But where do they go in winter? Killdeer that breed in the southern half of the US and along the Pacific Coast are year-round residents. But those that breed in the northern U.S. and Canada, where winter conditions are more severe, migrate south to Mexico and Central America. Because the northern Killdeer fly south — right over the region where other Killdeer reside year-round — they are known as leap-frog migrants.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

EPISODE 195 DETAILS Agridime Update & Circle F Farms Brahman Cattle.  Inside Circle F Farms: Elite Brahman Cattle and Family Legacy in Baxley, Georgia The Heart of Circle F Farms - Brahman Cattle Excellence Circle F Farms has established itself as a premier location for Registered Brahman cattle, thanks to the exceptional genetics from V8 Ranch and J.D. Hudgins, Inc. Woody Folsom's dedication to maintaining an elite herd ensures that the farm remains at the forefront of the cattle industry. The careful selection and breeding practices employed at Circle F Farms result in superior cattle, highly sought after by buyers and breeders alike. This commitment to excellence not only enhances the farm's reputation but also contributes significantly to the local agricultural community in Baxley. The Folsom Family Legacy Woody Folsom, along with his wife Tamela and children Tanner and Anna Kate, has turned Circle F Farms into a thriving enterprise. Woody's passion for cattle farming began in his childhood when he assisted his family with their cattle operations. This early exposure instilled in him a deep-seated love for the industry, which he carried into adulthood. His entrepreneurial spirit, which also led to the successful establishment of Woody Folsom Auto Dealerships, has been instrumental in the growth and success of Circle F Farms. The same business acumen, vision, and practical approach that propelled his auto dealerships are now driving the success of the farm. Diversification and Strategic Business Practices At Circle F Farms, the implementation of strategic business practices is evident in their diversified operations. In addition to their elite Brahman herd, the farm raises F-1 heifers from Hereford and Angus bulls, ensuring a broad range of high-quality cattle. This diversification not only meets market demands but also stabilizes the farm's revenue streams. Woody Folsom's hands-on approach and business strategies, honed through his experience in the auto industry, are applied rigorously at Circle F Farms. This meticulous management ensures the farm's sustainability and growth, making it a model for other agricultural enterprises. Circle F Farms embodies the fusion of passion, family legacy, and strategic business acumen. Woody Folsom's journey from a young boy with a dream to a successful entrepreneur and cattle farmer is an inspiring story of dedication and vision. The farm's commitment to excellence in cattle breeding and diversified operations positions it as a leader in the agricultural sector, contributing to the rich tapestry of Baxley's farming community. Latest Cattle Industry News Ponzi Scheme Cattle Company Sale Could Aid Investors According to Jeff Beach with the North Dakota Monitor, A North Dakota investor says the purchase of a financially troubled meat company is progressing with a percentage of the profits being used to pay back investors in the alleged Ponzi scheme over several years. Wylie Bice of Killdeer, who is among those who lost money by investing in Texas-based Agridime, told the North Dakota Monitor that a price has been agreed upon to buy the company.  Bice said the offer is reasonable but several steps remain before the deal can close. The court-appointed official overseeing the company said in a July 8 update on Agridime.com that federal law requires three separate appraisals for each parcel of property being sold, “which is not a quick process.” The update did not say a deal has been reached, but when it is, it would be submitted to the court for a 30-day review and objection period before it can close. Bice said the final agreement would likely include a percentage of the profits of the company to be used to pay back investors over a designated period of years. Investors in several states, including a high concentration in North Dakota, lost millions of dollars by investing in Agridime. Agridime bought cattle, had them brought up to market weight at feedlots and processed in retail cuts of meat. The company then direct-marketed the beef through its website. It also sold investments in calves, promising as much as a 30% return on investment without having to do the work of ranching. The Securities and Exchange Commission in December accused the company of operating as a Ponzi scheme by taking money from new investors to pay off previous investors instead of investing that money into cattle. The North Dakota Securities Department said a Killdeer-based sales agent, Taylor Bang, earned $6 million in commissions from illegal cattle investment contracts through Agridime. Bang told the North Dakota Monitor in December that the figure was “way high.” While it is under investigation, a slimmed-down version of the company has continued to operate as American Grazed Beef.   Bice said that if the deal is approved, he and his partners would likely keep the American Grazed Beef name. The investments in calves, however, would not be a part of the business plan. Bice, Bang, and other North Dakota investors lost an estimated $40 million in the Agridime scheme. Overall, investors in at least 15 states are out an estimated $191 million.   The July 8 update also says investors should be notified by the end of the month with a calculation of what they are owed.   Investors will have 30 days to review these calculations and notify the court-appointed receiver of any issues.   “There were approximately 40,325 transactions made by Agridime between 2021-2023, and it took a bit of work in the company's bank records to determine what amounts were being paid to whom,” the update said.   It also said a motion will be filed with the court outlining the forensic accounting analysis of Agridime between 2021 and December 2023. The motion “will provide insight into the company's operations during that time period and whether the company was paying returns on older investor contracts with money received from new investors.” CDC Investigating Multi-State Listeria Outbreak Connected To Sliced Deli Meat The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is investigating a multi-state Listeria outbreak linked to sliced deli meat, according to a release. The CDC said the outbreak has hospitalized 28 people in12 states and caused two deaths. The agency said it is working with USDA-FSIS to investigate the outbreak. Many affected individuals reported eating meats sliced at deli counters, which are known to be potential sources of Listeria contamination.  Illnesses have been reported from May 29 to July 5. The two reported deaths occurred in Illinois and New Jersey.  The actual number of cases may be higher as some individuals recover without seeking medical care and are not tested for Listeria. Public health officials are gathering epidemiologic data, including demographics and food history, to identify the outbreak's source.

We go over the pros and cons of hot wire pasture grazing versus traditional barbed wire.  Plus, an update on the cattle Ponzi scheme that everyone has been asking about.  We have news, markets and lots more on this all new episode of the Ranch It Up Radio Show.  Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. EPISODE 187 DETAILS   Cattle Management: Hot vs Barbed Wire. Agridime Cattle Ponzi Scheme Latest News   ELECTRIC HOT WIRE VS. BARBED WIRE Maximizing Agricultural Efficiency: The Advantages of Rotational Grazing Rotational grazing offers numerous benefits for sustainable farming. By moving livestock between paddocks according to a strategic schedule, farmers allow forage crops to rejuvenate, replenish energy reserves, and enhance plant vigor, leading to long-term maximum production. The key to a successful rotational grazing system lies in its flexibility. Utilizing a highly-movable temporary fence and understanding its proper use are crucial for maximizing the benefits and maintaining an efficient grazing routine. Optimize Your Grazing Strategy Implementing a well-designed rotational grazing system can lead to healthier livestock and more productive land. Explore the essentials of rotational grazing and discover how to enhance your agricultural practices for sustainable success.   A Comprehensive Guide to Temporary Electric Fence Wires: Polywire vs. Polytape When it comes to temporary electric fencing, two main types are available: polywire and polytape. Both options consist of fine metal filaments intertwined with polyethylene or polypropylene fibers, with the metal providing the shock and the plastic ensuring strength and visibility.   Choosing the Right Polywire for Your Needs For short-distance applications, such as subdividing a pasture, a six-strand polywire is typically sufficient. However, for longer distances or areas prone to overgrowth from weeds and grass, opt for a polywire that delivers a stronger shock to ensure effective containment.   The Benefits of Polytape Polytapes are known for their superior visibility, particularly in white. If you're experiencing inadequate animal control with polywire or need better visibility for safety reasons, such as fencing for horses, switching to polytape can be beneficial. Although polytape may be more expensive, the improved control and visibility often justify the cost.   Essential Tools: Electric Fence Reels For ease of use and flexibility, especially if you plan to adjust paddock sizes frequently, an electric fence reel is indispensable. These reels, made from weather-resistant plastic, can hold one to two spools of polywire or polytape, making it easy to move and reconfigure your temporary fencing as needed.   Explore the best practices for using polywire and polytape to optimize your temporary electric fencing system, ensuring maximum efficiency and control for your livestock management.    Cattle Industry News: Agridime Ponzi Scheme, NCBA response to Farm Bill, TSCRA Relief Fund   AGRIDIME: NORTH DAKOTA GROUP MAY BUY CATTLE COMPANY THAT OWES MILLIONS According to the Bismarck Tribune, Jeff Beach/North Dakota Monitor, a North Dakota rancher said he is working on a deal for a small group of investors to take over a cattle and beef marketing business that was labeled a Ponzi scheme and owes North Dakotans millions of dollars. Wylie Bice, who ranches near Killdeer, said the group is close on a final price for Texas-based Agridime, with the goal of making it an asset to North Dakota ranchers. Bice said he hopes the group can close on a deal by July 1 to take over Agridime facilities in Texas, Arizona and Kansas. He told the North Dakota Monitor he hopes North Dakota can supply about 60% of the cattle that the business will need -- about 10,000 head per year. Bice, who is among the investors who lost money with Agridime, said the group includes a former business partner of his who is in Texas and would come out of retirement to help manage the company. In December, the Securities and Exchange Commission accused the company of operating as a Ponzi scheme by taking money from new investors to pay off previous investors instead of investing that money into cattle. The cattle were to be fed until reaching market weight and then processed. Agridime would then market the meat directly to consumers. A court-appointed receiver has been trying to determine what assets remain for the company that owes millions of dollars to investors and cattle producers in 14 states. In the first quarterly report, posted May 1 on the Agridime.com website, the receiver, Steven Fahey of Texas, said it was involved in “serious discussions with a North Dakota-based investor group.” The group would purchase the assets of the company, including the remaining meat and cattle inventory. The report said a sale could be submitted for court approval by mid-June. The retail and wholesale meat business would continue under the American Grazed Beef name. Meat sales were moved from the Agridime site to a site using the American Grazed Beef name. Bice said it was not likely to move any operations to North Dakota, instead using the existing warehouses in Texas, Arizona and Kansas that are closer to large retail markets such as Dallas-Fort Worth and Phoenix. “I like the concept of it,” Bice said. “Their online plan was really good.” While operating as American Grazed Beef, “The company has been doing pretty decent for just idling along,” Bice said. The report notes that the number of Agridime employees has dropped from 83 to 40 while under receivership. More bang? Bice said it is possible the company could again involve Taylor Bang. Bang is a longtime cattle broker from Killdeer who also operated as a sales agent for Agridime. “He's a very good salesman, and I sure hope he can stay involved with us,” Bice said. The North Dakota Securities Department said Bang earned $6 million in commissions from unregistered cattle investment contracts through Agridime. Bang told the North Dakota Monitor in December that the figure was “way high.” Agridime offered people the chance to invest in the cattle industry, offering returns of as much as 30% without having to do the work involved with raising and marketing cattle. Agridime said the money would be invested in calves that would be raised for beef sales. But investors were not actually buying cattle or given information, such as ear tag numbers, about the calves they were investing in. The Securities and Exchange Commission said in its complaint that Agridime executives started using that investment money for other purposes instead of investing in cattle, turning the operation into a Ponzi scheme. A Securities Department official estimated that North Dakotans have lost about $40 million in Agridime investments. The quarterly update also includes lists of transactions, assets and creditors, though addresses are not included with the creditors. The creditors list includes Bice and Bang and several others with the last name Bang. North Dakota Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring said that while Agridime's license to buy cattle in the state has been revoked, Bang still has a license to broker cattle as an individual. Goehring said he thought the idea of buying out Agridime was “odd.” “Why would you not just start over?” Goehring wondered. Bice said money from the sale of the company would go to paying off creditors. If there is no deal, the receiver said it would likely submit a liquidation plan by July 31. Bice said he has visited the Agridime facilities and is excited about the possibility. “Usually, I'm invested in stuff I know nothing about,” Bice said. “I know something about this.” Other developments Assets: The May 1 update from the receiver says, as of March 31, there were about 3,387 head of cattle on feedlots in several states. The receiver in February said there were about 6,500 head of Agridime-owned cattle. The update notes that “records as to the quantity and location of its cattle were sparse and poorly maintained.” The update says there were about 841,000 pounds of beef stored at Agridime's warehouses in Arizona, Kansas and Texas as of March 31. Lawsuit: Another federal agency announced May 14 that it is taking legal action against Agridime. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission said it has filed a civil enforcement action in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas against Agridime and its founders, Joshua Link and Jed Wood. The CFTC said it is seeking restitution for defrauded customers, civil penalties, trading bans, and a permanent injunction against further violations of the Commodity Exchange Act and the agency's regulations. The CFTC says Agridime received more than $161 million from over 2,000 customers in 14 states. That is $30 million less than the SEC's estimate of $191 million in its complaint filed in December. Judgment: The Securities and Exchange Commission in April obtained a judgment on Link and Wood that prevents them from selling securities. The SEC will determine a civil penalty in the future. NCBA COMMENDS HOUSE AGRICULTURE COMMITTEE FOR PASSING FARM BILL The National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) thanked the House Agriculture Committee for passing the next Farm Bill, known as the Farm, Food, and National Security Act of 2024. This Farm Bill includes top priorities for cattle farmers and ranchers including cattle health, voluntary conservation, and food security provisions.   “Cattle producers are thankful that the House Agriculture Committee has advanced a Farm Bill that delivers on the needs of rural America,” said NCBA President and Wyoming rancher Mark Eisele. “This Farm Bill protects the cattle industry from foreign animal disease, supports producers' voluntary conservation efforts, and safeguards our food supply, recognizing that our food security is national security. On behalf of cattle farmers and ranchers across the country, thank you to Chairman Thompson and the House Agriculture Committee for passing this bill. I hope the full House will take the next step and pass this bill soon.”     TSCRA DISASTER RELIEF FUND DISTRIBUTES $900,000 Texas & Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association has announced the distribution of $900,000 in financial assistance through the TSCRA Disaster Relief Fund. This signifies the first of ongoing financial assistance going directly to cattle raisers impacted by the largest wildfire in Texas history.  “Funds are on the way to ranching families affected by these fires, and we will continue to quickly distribute much more funding to those in need for as long as it takes to help them to rebuild,” said TSCRA President Carl Ray Polk Jr. The distribution of funds comes after thousands of individuals and businesses came together to generously donate to the TSCRA Disaster Relief Fund in support of cattle raisers facing staggering losses. Recent data from the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service estimates the region faced agricultural losses totaling $123 million. This includes losses of livestock, equipment, fencing, hay, feed and more. The TSCRA Disaster Relief Fund continues to accept applications for financial aid from landowners and cattle raisers in disaster-declared counties in Texas and Oklahoma.

We wrap up 2023.  We have all the details about Cattle Ponzi Schemes plus we will tell y'all about an opportunity of a lifetime to lay into one of the most efficient sets of cows around.  Join Jeff 'Tigger' Erhardt, the Boss Lady Rebecca Wanner aka 'BEC', and our crew as we bring you the latest in markets, news, and Western entertainment on this all-new episode of the Ranch It Up Radio Show.  Be sure to subscribe on your favorite podcasting app or on the Ranch It Up Radio Show YouTube Channel. EPISODE 165 DETAILS So many of you have reached out inquiring about the latest details about the Agridime Cattle Ponzi Scheme.  It gets rather complicated, but BEC and I break it down for you.   Some of the most feed efficient cows around are coming up for sale.  Lucky 7 Angus Ranch is selling their spring calving Oklahoma cows at public auction, January 8th at Ogallala Livestock Auction in Ogallala, Nebraska.   AGRIDIME According to articles in the Bismarck Tribune and Ag Week, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which filed a civil lawsuit against the company on Dec. 11, has labeled the operation a Ponzi scheme, in which Agridime was using investor money to pay existing investors and commissions to salespeople rather than using new money to do what it said it would — purchase, feed and care for cattle to be finished and sold to consumers as beef. The SEC has received a temporary restraining order, including an asset freeze, on the company owned by Joshua Link of Arizona and Jed Wood of Texas, through Jan. 9, pending a hearing on Jan. 5. As of Sept. 5, 2023, Agridime-held cattle contracts required payment to investors of $123 million in principal, plus $24 million in guaranteed "profits." The company, as of Sept. 30, 2023, had less than $1.5 million and insufficient operating revenues, the SEC complaint said. Carl Karpinski, enforcement attorney for the North Dakota Securities Department, said there is no confirmed tally yet on investment losses in North Dakota. But he said the eventual number may be significant. "North Dakota is one of the most — if not the most — affected states" in the nation, he said. While the SEC complaint did not go into specifics about the cattle the company did purchase, other than specifying that "Defendants did not buy the number of cattle required to fulfill the Company's obligations under the Cattle Contracts," Agridime was licensed as a livestock agent in North Dakota. Agriculture Commissioner Doug Goehring announced on Dec. 15 that it no longer will be licensed in the state. “Agridime was licensed in North Dakota,” Goehring said in a statement. “Their renewal was pending based on issues with bonding. The actions taken by the SEC will support our denial of their license and we will issue a cease-and-desist order, effective (Dec. 15), to prevent further purchase of livestock.” Karpinski said the Securities Department is not working on the cattle sales side of the case, though the North Dakota Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of Agriculture are involved. Ellingson encouraged producers involved in the case to contact the Stockmen's Association at 701-223-2522. HOW AGRIDIME OPERATED The SEC complaint said Agridime raised $191 million from more than 2,100 investors in at least 15 states since January 2021. Instead of using investor money as advertised, the SEC filing said Agridime has used at least $58 million from Dec. 1, 2022, to Sept. 30, 2023, in investor funds from new cattle contracts to make principal and profit payments to previous investors. Agridime would sell investors cattle contracts for $2,000 per calf. The company would then promise to buy the cattle back a year later at return rates of 15% to 32%, the complaint says. Agridime paid commissions to salespeople, typically 10%, for each cattle contract sold, which also was not disclosed to investors. The SEC documents say that through May 2023, commissions paid exceeded $11.1 million in total, including "at least $5.6 million to a salesperson in North Dakota," $1.3 million to Link and his wife and $1.3 million to Wood. By using the funds to make previous investor payments and to pay commissions, "Agridime has not purchased enough cattle to fulfill its Cattle Contracts. Agridime's investors, therefore, do not actually invest in specific, identifiable animals. Instead, the success of their investments depends on the success of Agridime's purported cattle operation, including its ability to attract new investors." Agridime had operations in Texas, Arizona, Kansas, North Dakota and "other states," court documents said. In North Dakota, Securities Commissioner Karen Tyler on May 24, 2023, ordered a cease and desist order against Agridime and Link. Neither Agridime nor Link were registered as an issue-dealer or a broker-dealer in North Dakota, the cease and desist order said. Despite that, Link on Sept. 7, 2022, sold an investment contract to a North Dakota resident for $250,000, the order said. The SEC complaint said Agridime sold $9 million in 18 cattle contracts to North Dakota residents since the issuance of the cease and desist order in May. Agridime also sold $1 million in cattle contracts to Arizona residents since a similar order was issued there on April 18, 2023, and an Agridime salesman there admitted under oath on Oct. 18 that he still was selling contracts in Arizona. The state of Arizona in November filed a contempt motion against Agridime and Link. Tyler issued another cease and desist order in North Dakota on Dec. 15 against Taylor Bang of Killdeer, which alleged that Bang, despite not being registered as an agent with the Securities Department, had received $6,055,390 in "transaction based commissions by selling unregistered cattle investment contracts on behalf of Agridime in or from North Dakota" from Jan. 1, 2021, through Oct. 30, 2023. Under North Dakota law, the North Dakota Securities Commissioner can assess civil penalties of $10,000 per violation of the Securities Act. Bang said he's always approached his business honestly and was simply taking direction from Agridime. “I was just doing a job.”  Bang disputes the claim that he made more than $6 million in commissions from Agridime. He said that figure is “way high” and that he wasn't sure how the Securities Department arrived at that number. The Securities Department says it calculated the figure from subpoenaed financial records. Bang said he was aware of the May cease-and-desist order the North Dakota Securities Department filed against Agridime and Link, but that as far as he could tell, the company took the legal demands outlined in the orders seriously and was working to address them. The rancher said he's worked with Agridime for roughly seven or eight years. He said he still thinks very highly of the company and is proud to support the American livestock industry.   “To date, I have not had one person that has done this, as far as the cattle-purchasing contracts, not get paid on time,” Bang said. In the Dec. 15 order, Tyler ordered Bang to turn over all commissions received from Agridime, to be deposited into the North Dakota Investor Restitution Fund and to be liable along with Agridime to Agridime investors. LUCKY 7 ANGUS In 1895 James Jensen started a five-generation ranch, from which came Lucky 7 Angus. That first winter he lived in a dug out on the side of a hill and shoveled snow off the grass to feed his 3 horses and 7 cows in what is called the Nation's Icebox, Boulder, Wyoming. We know very well the blood, sweat and tears it takes to keep the family ranch afloat. And that is why we take it very seriously that our customers are the most profitable in the livestock industry. Lucky 7 Angus was started in order to raise bulls that could hold up better for commercial cattlemen, such as ourselves. We have accomplished the goal... For the past 30 years we have been unmatched in raising cows and bulls in tougher conditions than the rest of the industry, which has made the most durable bulls for our customers. We were the first seedstock operation to set minimum standards for PAP testing. The number of animals tested with these standards, are unmatched in the industry, which helps our customers with less sickness and death loss. We were the first seedstock operation to test for feed efficiency in real world conditions. Then in 2002 we started feed efficiency testing by purchasing large vertical mixers in order to know how much every cow, calf and bull on the place ate. In 2009 we were the first Angus only seedstock producer in the U.S. to purchase a GrowSafe feed intake monitoring system. Lucky 7 Angus is unmatched in the industry by having both real world and scientific feed efficiency testing data, which allows our customers to make more pounds of beef per acre. The measures we have taken in producing our genetics gave us enough confidence in our bulls to offer the nation's first 4 year guarantee. This guarantee is unmatched in the industry and allows our producers a 33% advantage when buying bulls.

This week we discuss the Killdeer. These shorebirds (that aren't always near the shore) will put on a display where they pretend like they are injured to lure predators away from their eggs. Join John Bates, Shannon Hackett, RJ Pole, and Amanda Marquart as we discuss the Killdeer. We also follow up on a previous discussion about how smoke and wildfires impact birds. We talk about a study in California called "Project Phoenix" where birders can help participate in studying the impact that wildfire smoke has on birds. Here is a link to participate in the study. Please note the study is only in the state of California, so you have to be in California to participate: https://www.project-phoenix-investigating-bird-responses-to-smoke.org/Reach out to us at podcast.birdsofafeather@gmail.com and follow us on Instagram @birds_of_a_feather_podcastPlease spread the word! We are still new and trying to spread the word about our podcast. We are trying to reach birders of all levels, and hope to provide fun info for experts and beginners alike. Thanks!One of the best new podcasts available. Also called the best bird podcast. 

Summary: There are three categories of birds that can be found in the wild. Join Cheryl and Kiersten as they discuss the research of wildlife scientist John Marzluff and how it pertains to the birds in our backyards.   For our hearing-impaired listeners, a transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean.   Show Notes: Welcome to Subirdia: Sharing Our Neighborhoods with Wrens, Robins, Woodpeckers, and Other Wildlife, by John Marzluff.   Transcript    Cheryl Intro:          Ever wonder who moves into the neighborhood?  Birds, as adaptable as they are do not always want to live with humans, nor do they always benefit by sharing space with humans. In the book Welcome to Subirdia, the author, John Marzluff, a professor of Wildlife Science writes about this.  His team of graduate students studied urban, Subarian, and forested areas to identify and count the bird species in areas around Seattle, Washington.  Let's take a look at our region of the southwest; which birds thrive in our presence, which birds adapt to living with us, and which birds choose to stay clear of human activity. Kiersten: Avoiders Avoiders are those native bird species that are extinguished or decline over time as urbanization intensifies.  Birds like Burrowing Owls, Green heron, Orange- crowned warblers, Scarlet Tanager, or even the Scott's Oriole, and the Hairy Woodpecker.  These birds all have varying degrees of sensitivity to human development.  They move farther and farther away from it.  This is true of the hairy woodpecker.  It builds its nest in dead trees.  What HOA allows dead trees?  Burrowing owls are susceptible to predation by people's pets, and feral cats.  So, these ground dwelling owls of our local desert are pushed farther and farther out.  Some birds like the Green Heron just likes its privacy, so it has a low tolerance for our activities.  Scott's Oriole, and the Scarlet Tanager enjoy forested areas, and hunt insects.  Orange-crowned Warblers enjoy riparian areas.  So, we can appreciate why these birds find their choice habitats not in our backyards. Cheryl: Exploiters          Exploiters are species that thrive in our presence, often coevolving with humans and rarely occurring where people do not exist.  Birds such as the American Crow, Northern Mockingbird, Barn Swallows, Barn Owls, Mallards, Canada goose, house finches, and house wrens, house sparrows, European Starling, our beloved lovebirds, and pigeons (Rock Doves).  I was surprised by some of the birds on the list.  These birds move into the niches vacated by those birds who find themselves more of an avoider.  A few of these birds' humans are responsible for introducing into the urban areas they are thriving in.  Each species soars in abundance as soon as clearing begins and increases over time.  Most of these species are not present in forested areas in large numbers.  The ability of these species to capitalize on the lawns, lakes, and nesting niches created in built environments likely explains their success.  Kiersten: Adapters          “Adapters are mostly native species that thrive on natural, young, open shrubby, and dissected habitats.” (Quote from Welcome to Subirdia,) An interesting description of our neighborhoods and backyards.  Adapters find and adjust to situations in our cities, urban, or suburban areas even if the natural habitat is man made.  This is the largest group of birds, which is encouraging, but these birds decline when the areas grow too close to forested habitats, or yards become overgrown, or trees too mature.  Birds like Anna's hummingbird, White-crowned sparrow, American goldfinches, Lesser goldfinch, Song sparrows, rock wrens, Curve-billed thrasher, Killdeer, and the Yellow-rumped warbler are all birds that adapt to human changes in their habitat as long as the changes are within reason. Kiersten:  Why is this information important you ask.          It is important to know how birds are adapting or not adapting to human activity so that we may better understand how we may improve our living spaces so that we make room for birds to live, too.  Birds can move from one category to another for example: a bird could be an adapter until the stresses of human activity pushes it to be an avoider, or it could move from adapter to being an exploiter, like the Northern Mockingbird it all depends on how a particular species handles what humans do to their habitats.          Cheryl: Closing          It is not surprising that birds can handle many of the challenges of living people, given that they have wings to propel them away from humans, if need be, and they are linked to dinosaurs, adding their engaging personalities, flexible behaviors, and short generation times, all these things help birds to succeed in even the toughest parts of our human-dominated world.           We are capable of applying this knowledge to our backyard living spaces, parks and recreation areas, and make the adjustments necessary to support the bird life that is present now, and to build toward greater diversity in the future.

The cries of a Killdeer are familiar across most of the US during spring and summer. But where do they go in winter? Killdeer that breed in the southern half of the US and along the Pacific Coast are year-round residents. But those that breed in the northern US and Canada, where winter conditions are more severe, migrate south to Mexico and Central America. Because the northern Killdeer fly south — right over the region where other Killdeer reside year-round — they are known as leap-frog migrants. More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?

The guys review the latest long article from ESPN's Bill Barnwell diving into the main issues for the Packers six games into the season. Also, what the heck is the bird that Jason is describing that he saw in a recent trip to Verona? Plus, Whoa Nelly! featuring Tausch's tangents and a Phillies fan forced to stay in a bathroom. And how many questions can Matt LaFleur ask himself during his press conference today?

This week the guys had the privilege to talk with Janis Putelis, of MeatEater. Many of you know Janis for his adventures with Steve Rinella and his clever remarks, but it didn't start at the top. This discussion is more about how Janis got to where he is now. Janis discusses his younger days of working on ranches in Colorado, to time in Alaska, Utah, and eventually Montana.  Paul's been traveling the world again for work but gearing up for deer season. Andrew was able to take an afternoon in the DSA at KillDeer plains to hang out in the tree. Nothing happening, but it was nice to get back into the woods and work out the kinks. Deer archery season opens across the entire state of Ohio on September 24. Don't forget to check out the OHLAP program for new properties across the state. There is a public rule shearing on 9/14/22 at 7pm at the District office at 1500 Dublin Rd Columbus OH. Keep an eye out for EHD as we move closer to the first frost. Also be on the look out for the spotted lantern fly in trees near your home and in the woods. This bug is another invasive one that can cause major damage to our woodlands. Report any findings to the Ohio Department of Agriculture.

Some birds, such as the Northern Bobwhite, take their names from their songs or vocalizations: "Bobwhite! Bobwhite!" The Killdeer is another bird named for its song: "Kill-dee, kill-dee, kill-dee." There are others. "Poorwill, poorwill, poorwill" calls this Common Poorwill. This bird is the cousin of the Whip-poor-will, another bird that calls its own name.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote? Subscribe to our weekly newsletter.

Since Killdeer don't always pick the safest places to lay their eggs, they've developed a clever way to protect their young. They use the art of distraction. When it spots a predator close by, the Kildeer parent will pretend it has a broken wing - calling loudly and limping along as it stretches out one wing and fans its tail.More info and transcript at BirdNote.org. Want more BirdNote?
