Have questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you!On this episode, host Lynsey McAnally brings our audience a bit of a different perspective on the beef industry. Beef processors – large and small – are a critical piece of the beef supply chain puzzle. When COVID-19 was felt full force back in 2020, the need for an expanded network of processors across the state of Oklahoma became apparent. The result: $10 million of potential grant funding was made available to those wishing to build a better beef processing industry in that state.At the same time, there were also brand new local processors launching. Chance Combs and family of Madill, Okla., saw an opportunity and brought beef processing a little closer to home for their friends and neighbors via Whiskey Creek Processing. During the conversation, we discussed: Founding and constructing Whiskey Creek Processing,How your cattle are processed from drop off to picking up packaged beef,Opportunities for small producers,Challenges for small processors,And more!A huge thank you to Purina for their sponsorship of this episode.Additional Resources:Whiskey Creek ProcessingA Sale Barn Perspective with the Beaver Stockyards TeamInsight from the Packer with Chad BarkerReimaging Red Meat Yield with Dale WoernerSubscribe to the Angus Beef Bulletin EXTRAFind more information to make Angus work for you in the Angus Beef Bulletin and ABB EXTRA.

This October, for Domestic Violence Awareness Month, RedRover will amplify survivor stories and highlight the urgent need for more safe havens where families and their pets can heal together.

From now until July 31, every donation made to RedRover will be TRIPLED, thanks to a generous matching gift, up to a total of $30,000. This limited-time opportunity allows supporters to significantly multiply their impact, providing essential safety and compassionate care for 3X MORE animals and their loving families nationwide. RedRover's critical initiatives include offering emergency animal sheltering and financial aid for pets displaced by natural disasters such as wildfires and floods, as well as providing safe havens for animals escaping domestic violencesituations alongside their human companions.

Das Show-Gen wurde ihr in die Wiege gelegt, genau wie die Liebe zum Fußball! Ob Sport oder Unterhaltung, Laura Wontorra moderiert immer schlagfertig, charmant und mit viel knowhow! Im Fußball kennt sie sich in jeder Klasse aus und durfte sogar schon die Champions-League-Auslosung moderieren. Aber auch in der Unterhaltung fühlt sich das in Bremen geborene „Nordlicht“ zuhause, bei „Grill den Henssler“, „Ninja Warrior“ oder „Top dog Germany“! Letztere Show passte besonders gut, schließlich ist Laura leidenschaftliche Hunde- Mama ihres Mischlings-Rüden Milo, der aus dem Tierschutz kommt und dem sie eine zweite Chance in seinem Hundeleben geben wollte. Zudem setzt Laura sich als Botschafterin bei Purina für die Initiativen „Pets at work“ und „Purina hilft“ ein. In dieser Folge erzählt Laura, warum sie ihren Hund als Diva bezeichnet, warum sie es so wichtig findet, Vierbeiner mit ins Büro zu nehmen und ob Milo ins Bett darf oder nicht. Außerdem verrät sie, wie es ist, immer vom eigenen Vater kritisiert zu werden, wessen Anfangsbuchstaben sie sich hinter das Ohr tätowiert hat und welche Show im Deutschen Fernsehen sie gerne übernehmen würde.

At birth, a calf's rumen is underdeveloped or naive, and it relies on the abomasum for digestion. As the calf grows, the rumen develops, and its capacity increases. Making sure that rumen functions properly and provides that calf with correct immune functions is a major focus at Purina. Dr. Jill Soderstrom is the dairy young animal solutions specialist for Purina Animal Nutrition. Her focus is helping dairy operations select and coordinate prebiotics, probiotics, enzymes and all other technologies available for a healthy calf from the inside out. Just like farms, no two calves are the same. Dr. Soderstrom explains that creating the correct balance in that calves gut is like mustering troops for war. Sometimes you don't need all the weapons, but when calves come under stress - you do! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Infertility Problem Solving Protocol Host Laura Reeves is joined by Dr. Marty Greer for a conversation about the problem solving protocol for infertility using a case study submitted in the private Pure Dog Talk Patrons group. Greer's first recommendation for fertility issues is to have a complete semen analysis on the stud dog. “There are six parameters that we should look at for semen quality. It should be volume, sperm count, the motility, the morphology, the longevity and speed of progression. …(I)t's much easier to analyze the fertility on a male dog that is a female.” Greer continues with discussion of “lifestyle” choices of the bitch. Nutrition choices, sunlight exposure and more. “The foods that we see that we have good success with, are going to be Purina and Royal Canin. Those are the two diets that we reliably see good fertility with. Purina, their Sport 30/20, which is 30% protein, 20% fat is a really good diet for fertility and the Royal Canin makes a pregnancy diet, the only pregnancy diet that currently is on the market. “Dogs need 14 hours of daylight. And if you don't have the opportunity to have it, if you don't live in a climate that you can do that. Where you're building isn't set up for it or whatever it happens to be. You can get full spectrum light bulbs and turn them on for 14 hours a day. “We also see high performing dogs,  dogs traveling with a handler or they're out at field trials every weekend and they're running hard or hunt tests or whatever activity you happen to be doing. Sometimes just being away from home can be really stressful for the dogs and we can see that affecting their fertility.” Greer continues with other potential infertility causes and treatments. Be sure to listen to the episode to catch her 2-2-2 "infertile bitch protocol."

Purina Events Center Reopens Host Laura Reeves is joined by Angie Minges, Director of partnership marketing and events for Purina to discuss the rapid response that reopened the Purina Event Center in time for PCA. [caption id="attachment_13976" align="alignleft" width="563"] Tornado damage at Purina Farms has closed the Visitor Center, but the Events Center is open for business.[/caption] The Purina Farm and Events Center outside St. Louis, MO was hit by an EF2 tornado on March 14. The barn and visitor center were badly damaged. The events center and surrounding grounds sustained significant wind damage wiping out trees, light poles and more. “What was hit the hardest on our property besides the lovely trees and just the fields themselves were our barn and our visitor center, so both of those two buildings will have to be demolished. It's so sad and the community has been so supportive and loving and caring of our farm and we couldn't be more thankful for the people that we have in our lives that love Purina Farms. So yes, it was tragic that that natural disaster happened, but it's also pulled the community together and we're just so grateful for everyone that is sending their love and care our way.” While several events were canceled or relocated, the team worked round the clock to have the RV sites and Events Center ready to safely open in time for Poodle Club of America's National Specialty last week, Minges said. She added that the Visitor Center will be closed for at least the rest of the year. “We have the incredible dog arena on Purina Farms and we have a great incredible dog team that does all the fun tricks and the dock diving. We can't take the dock diving with us, but we'll take an agility show to some of the festivals and different wine tastings and events that are taking place in the region throughout the summer. Just to stay connected to the consumer and bring the farm to the community.

And what futurists do is study change, its forces, and its patterns.”“We zoom out to see what matters and how things work so that, when we zoom back in, we know how to materialize what truly matters.”“Sometimes leaders think they need more time, but often what they really need is more space—space to reflect, sense, and align with what's unfolding.”Resources Mentioned in This Episode Think Like a Futurist by Cecily SommersThe Fourth Turning Is Here by Neil HowePrinciples for Dealing with the Changing World Order: Why Nations Succeed and Fail by Ray DalioAbout The International Leadership Association (ILA)The ILA was created in 1999 to bring together professionals interested in studying, practicing, and teaching leadership.
