Week In The Rockies Superior Livestock Auction Sale Report A tremendous cattle market for the Week In The Rockies Sale by Superior Livestock Auction.  Few complete Sale Reports HERE. Beef Cattle News Beef Market Uncertainty Fueled By Tight Supplies & High Prices According to Texas A&M Agricultural Economist David Anderson, the beef sector is entering a prolonged period of tight supplies and sustained high prices, and any meaningful herd expansion remains elusive.   Anderson said that calf prices have reached record levels, with 500- to 600-pound steers in the Southern Plains averaging $4 per pound, but instead of retaining heifers to grow the herd, producers are largely “taking the money and running.”   The shift toward expansion, when it happens, could lead to a temporary sharp decline in beef production, as fewer heifers are sent to feedlots. Anderson pointed to the upcoming Cattle on Feed report, which will include a quarterly update on heifers versus steers on feed, as a key signal.   Another headwind for beef production is the ongoing closure of the U.S.-Mexico border to imported feeder cattle due to screw worm concerns. Anderson said the loss of 26,000 head per week is equivalent to 4% of the U.S. calf crop and about 18% of feeder placements in the Southwest, with significant regional impacts.   The effects of that shortfall are already being seen, Anderson said, as steer and heifer slaughter continue to fall below year-ago levels. While heavier carcass weights have helped offset declining numbers in recent years, Anderson expects weights to dip below 2024 levels due to shorter feeding periods and fewer days on feed.   Anderson said that dynamic of fewer cattle and lower weights will continue to tighten beef supplies and support high prices. Prices for 50% lean trimmings have reached record highs amid strong demand for ground beef.   While retail prices typically dip after summer highs, Anderson said overall price levels will remain elevated. He forecast quarterly declines in beef production through 2026, citing fewer calves, a smaller cow herd and the absence of imported feeders.   Even if herd expansion begins now, Anderson said, the biology of the cattle cycle means any supply increases are years away. “We're already talking four years out before you even see increases in beef production,” he said.

Not Reed's Ranch, but another good podcast if you like Jon Reed. Listen to it.

What does it mean to steward a family legacy while completely rethinking how food is raised?  In this episode, I sat down with Heidi Diestel of Diestel Family Ranch, a fourth-generation turkey farmer who's not afraid to ask hard questions about the food system and make bold changes. Heidi brings a rare mix of tradition, transparency, and a challenger mindset to an industry that often resists change. We talked about everything from regenerative agriculture to redefining what “better” means in the turkey category. Heidi shares how her family is holding to their values while also pushing boundaries, such as eliminating antibiotics long before it was popular and investing in their USDA-certified plant to ensure quality and animal welfare. It's a masterclass in integrity, evolution, and sticking to your “why.” Key highlights from this episode: * Why the “status quo” in farming was never good enough for Diestel.   * How a values-first approach led to long-term decisions, such as adopting regenerative practices and owning their own plant.   * The moment Heidi realized the brand needed to challenge the category narrative.   * What it means to build trust with consumers when competing against big agriculture?   * How Diestel balances legacy and innovation in a 4th-gen family business.   Join me, Ramon Vela, as I listen to this thoughtful, behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to raise food with care, conviction, and courage. Whether you're in CPG, AG, or just a conscious consumer, this one will leave you inspired.

We thought it would be silly whilst on Gunthorp Farms to not interview Greg's son, Evan, who is not only carrying the torch when it comes to regenerative farming for the next generation, he's driving the fire truck, saving the babies from balconies, and putting out the fires that conventional meat processing (meat arsonists) create every day.  Evan's incredibly smart and I learnt a tonne in this hour. If you want to hear from one of the bright young ranchers thinking clearly on how to sustain & grow a regenerative farming culture in America, and the good bad and the ugly that comes with that mission, I couldn't recommend this pod enough. Evan Gunthorp is the son of Greg Gunthorp and part of the next generation stewarding the legacy of Gunthorp Farms—an independent, pasture-based livestock operation in Indiana. In this episode, Evan shares his firsthand experience growing up immersed in regenerative agriculture, from raising thousands of chickens as a child to managing their USDA-inspected processing plant and pioneering solar grazing operations. This is a candid look at what it takes to sustain a farm across generations, the realities of small-scale meat production, and the cultural forces shaping our food future.We cover:- Growing up on a regenerative farm: chickens, responsibility, and early exposure to death and food- Running a USDA processing plant and the emotional, ethical, and logistical complexities of meat production- The labor crisis in farming and processing: challenges, insights, and systemic reflections- Solar grazing as an ecological and economic solution for land-locked farmers- What keeps Evan going despite the industrialization of agriculture and cultural disconnection from foodTimestamps:00:00 – Growing up Gunthorp: childhood on a working farm 04:30 – Killing animals young: what that teaches about food and respect 10:00 – Early responsibility: raising 3,000 chickens at age 7 14:30 – Running a USDA processing plant as a teenager 20:00 – Why most Americans shouldn't be allowed to eat meat 25:30 – Labor, dignity & depression inside meat processing 32:00 – The promise and pitfalls of solar grazing 39:30 – Can pasture-raised pigs scale across the U.S.? 45:00 – Pork, parasites & why store-bought meat makes people sick 50:00 – What keeps Evan going in a system stacked against himConnect w Evan & Gunthorp farms:WebsiteInstagramFacebook

Regenaissance community! It's been a month since our last episode, and we apologize for the absence. The reason for our pending silence we can finally share... we have have just embarked on a 6-month tour across America, we're visiting regenerative farms to podcast with ranchers, tour their land, document their work, and shake the hand that feeds us.So, starting from today's episode, we'll be recording and dropping episodes live as we're travelling through each farm. The cadence will be loose (as we go essentially) and the focus will be on telling the stories of these farmers and doing our best to connect our community with them. We're so pumped to begin this journey - so please if you enjoy the content, share it with a friend and let them know about this tour. As far as we know, we don't think a farm podcast tour has been done on this scale before!The tour begins in northeast Indiana at Gunthorp Farms—a vertically integrated, pasture-based livestock farm run by Greg Gunthorp and his family. Greg has been raising pigs for over four generations, and he's seen firsthand how industrialization decimated independent hog farming. In this episode, Greg contrasts his approach to animal husbandry and food ethics with the commodified logic of Big Pork. From breed selection to federal corruption, this is a deep dive into the systems behind your food—and what it takes to build something better.Key Topics Discussed:Why Greg breeds “all-purpose” pasture pigs—and how that clashes with industrial pork geneticsThe death of the independent hog farmer and the rise of vertically consolidated meatpackersHow 37 plants process 96% of U.S. pork—and why that's both efficient and catastrophically fragileProp 12, public gaslighting, and why most “ethical pork” labels are meaninglessWhat it really costs to raise, slaughter, and distribute pork ethically—and why few are willing to do itTimestamps:00:00 – Intro to the tour & visiting Gunthorp Farms 04:00 – Greg's breeding philosophy vs industrial pig genetics 10:00 – How vertical integration wiped out small hog farms 16:00 – Why 96% of pork runs through 37 plants 20:00 – What Prop 12 changed—and didn't 26:00 – The illusion of ethical meat at the supermarket 30:00 – True costs of pasture-raised pork 35:00 – Corruption inside USDA and meat inspection 45:00 – How Greg fought back—with help from Thomas Massie 55:00 – Final reflections on reform, resilience, and local foodConnect w Greg & Gunthorp Farms:WebsiteXInstagramLinkedin

Just a few weeks later, the Wall Street Journal published a salacious birthday note said to have been written by Trump to Jeffrey Epstein, with a drawing of a naked lady and wishes for daily secrets. Now, Trump is suing the Wall Street Journal and those associated with the story for $10 billion. So what was VP Vance doing at Murdoch's Montana Ranch and what went down at that meeting?We'll talk about it with iHeartRadio and TV political analyst Gary Dietrich. We are excited to welcome Dr. Vincent Racaniello to the show.

Michael shares how a single week transformed his relationship with his dad, the real reason behind his inner drive, and the moment he realized that working for the praises of man would eventually break him.This episode is a reminder that God doesn't just care about what you build—but who you're becoming while you build it.What You'll Learn:Why your identity can't come from what you accomplishThe four roles a dad plays (caretaker, cop, coach, consultant)How pressure to succeed impacts father-son relationshipsWhat Michael learned about humility from his dadThe beauty of building with God—and learning to restHow to lead your family while healing from your own woundsWhy starting a values-driven business invites both criticism and purposeMentioned in This Episode:J.H.
