This week, we’ll hear from Megan Piphus, a puppeteer and ventriloquist known for playing Gabrielle on Sesame Street. She’ll share how a childhood spent in her father’s church led her to an opportunity at the Jim Henson Company and how she’s since used puppetry to teach kids about God’s love. You’ll also meet her puppet, June Bug, who occasionally jumps in to help tell the story. Next, we’ll hear from legendary voice actor Jim Cummings, whose iconic performances as Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Darkwing Duck, and countless other beloved characters have brought comfort and joy to generations. Jim reflects on discovering his gift at a young age, the surprising path that led him into voice acting, and the unforgettable moments when his work became a source of hope for people facing difficult circumstances.

I knew very early that I had a calling to teach kids about God’s love.” - Megan Piphus “By teaching [children] something new, they are inspired to be anything.” - Megan Piphus “It is so important for young girls to see themselves represented in the most diverse spaces and unique spaces.” - Megan Piphus “Oftentimes, kids are told, ‘I don’t know if you can do that, or I don’t know if that’s possible.’ As we get older, our world slowly confines into a space of what we see is possible and what the world tells us is possible. What I loved about puppetry is it kind of broke the rules of what’s possible.” - Megan Piphus “I was always in a lot of plays as a child, and I didn’t want to be the student prince, or this and that. I wanted to be the troll that lived under the bridge. I was inadvertently doing research for what I was going to ultimately do when I grew up.” - Jim Cummings “Winnie the Pooh is like comfort for the soul. ‘You’re braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.’ He’s got a lot of that folksy wisdom that people rely on to get through tough times. And I’ve just been very fortunate to be a part of that.” - Jim Cummings “I think the key word with Winnie the Pooh and the whole Hundred Acre Wood gang is ‘sincerity.’ It’s all just the interaction between friends, and it’s that bonding time, and it’s a celebration of the time in life when everything’s magical.” - Jim Cummings ________________________ Enjoy watching these additional videos from Jesus Calling YouTube channel!

Superior Livestock Video Royale Sale Report The Video Royale sale from Superior Livestock once again found strong demand and buyer confidence.  143,000 head of cattle were marketed at Winnemucca, Nevada, the last weekend of July.  For a complete market report, check out Ranch Channel or click HERE.   MCOOL, Product of USA Update The USDA updated the "Product of USA" label to require that meat, poultry, and egg products come from animals born, raised, slaughtered, and processed entirely in the U.S. While this voluntary standard has gained widespread adoption, lawmakers and ranchers continue pushing Congress for legislation like the American Beef Labeling Act to reinstate broader Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (mCOOL).  Here are the details on the updated label and the ongoing MCOOL debate: The New Standard: The USDA finalized and implemented the updated "Product of USA" label. It closes previous loopholes by ensuring that animals are 100% American from pasture to plate. Voluntary vs. Mandatory: The updated label is completely voluntary for companies to use, but those who choose to use it must maintain strict records to support their claims. The mCOOL Push: MCOOL would make labeling country-of-origin mandatory for all beef sold in grocery stores rather than just letting companies choose. Supporters argue it is necessary for consumer transparency, while major industry groups like the Meat Institute argue that mandatory rules cost the supply chain more than $1 billion annually.   Feeder Cattle Sale Dates & Deadlines August 10 - 11: Western Video Market Little America Sale August 17 - 21: Superior Livestock Auction Big Horn Classic Sale August 24: Superior Livestock Auction Labor Day Catalog Deadline August 28: Superior Livestock Auction Labor Day Video Deadline September 2 - 3: Superior Livestock Auction Labor Day Sale September 7: Western Video Market Haythorn Ranch Consignment Deadline September 14: Northern Livestock Video Fall Premier Sale September 15: Western Video Market Haythorn Ranch Sale Featured Experts in the Cattle Industry Trent Stewart – Superior Livestock Auction https://superiorlivestock.com/ Follow on Facebook: @SuperiorLivestockAuction Chip Kemp – 701x https://www.701x.com/ Follow on Facebook: @701x.inc 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?

News: Oregon Rejects Anti-Hunting Measure, Wyoming Wolf Bounty Draws Outrage & Ohio Poaching Convictions

Learn the latest as Oregon voters reject an anti-hunting initiative, a $10,000 Wyoming wolf hunter bounty sparks controversy, and Ohio YouTubers are convicted in a long-running deer poaching case. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! The latest on Oregon's anti-hunting ballot measure, the $10,000 Wyoming wolf hunter bounty backlash, and the Ohio YouTubers' deer poaching convictions. These three news hunting and agriculture topics are hot! Learn why it is important to advocate for our Outdoors and Western Way of Life from ranching to farming and rodeo too. Oregon Hunting, Fishing & Agriculture Protected as Anti-Hunting Ballot Initiative Falls Short  Oregon's controversial Initiative Petition 28 (IP28), also known as the PEACE Act, has failed to qualify for the November ballot after falling roughly 13,000 valid signatures short of the required threshold. The proposed measure would have removed long-standing exemptions to Oregon's animal cruelty laws, potentially criminalizing legal hunting, fishing, ranching, farming, wildlife management, and other animal-related activities. Conservation groups, agricultural organizations, sportsmen, and bipartisan state leaders strongly opposed the proposal, warning it would have far-reaching impacts on Oregon's rural communities, food production, wildlife management, and outdoor heritage. Supporters of hunting and conservation welcomed the outcome, viewing it as a victory for science-based wildlife management and responsible stewardship. Organizations including the Sportsmen's Alliance and the Oregon Hunters Association argued the measure threatened sustainable conservation programs funded by hunters and anglers, while jeopardizing livelihoods tied to agriculture and ranching. Notably, opposition to the initiative crossed political lines, with Oregon Governor Tina Kotek, Democratic legislative leaders, and Republican lawmakers all publicly rejecting the proposal.  Although the initiative failed to reach the ballot, its chief petitioner acknowledged the campaign was intended to build long-term momentum for similar measures in Oregon and other states, signaling that sportsmen, agricultural producers, and conservation advocates will likely remain engaged in defending regulated hunting, fishing, and farming practices in future election cycles. Reference: https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/oregon-hunting-ban-fails/ What Is IP28? The proposal, known as the PEACE Act (Initiative Petition 28), would remove many of the legal exemptions that currently allow activities involving animals, including: Hunting, trapping, and fishing (including catch-and-release fishing) Livestock and ranching operations Some forms of pest control Certain wildlife and animal research practices The measure would also create programs intended to help Oregon transition toward what supporters describe as a "no-kill or harm" sanctuary state. Why Is It Gaining Attention? Previous versions of the proposal failed to reach the ballot in 2020 and 2022. Opponents believe this year's effort has a stronger chance because organizers have more funding and have used paid signature gatherers, which Oregon law allows. $10,000 Bounty on Wyoming Wolf Hunters Sparks Outrage A Texas social media influencer is offering a $10,000 reward for information identifying anyone who legally harvests a gray wolf from a Yellowstone pack after it leaves the national park, prompting sharp criticism from Wyoming wildlife officials and hunting advocates. Jonas Black announced the bounty on Facebook, saying he wants to identify hunters who harvest wolf 1090F or members of her pack during Wyoming's upcoming wolf season. Black also threatened to publicly expose anyone who legally tags one of the animals. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department called the offer "outrageous," saying it encourages harassment of hunters who are following state law. Wyoming protects the identities of lawful wolf hunters from public disclosure because of past threats and intimidation directed at sportsmen. Wildlife officials emphasize that while wolves are protected inside Yellowstone National Park, they can legally be hunted once they leave park boundaries in designated management areas. Biologists also note that the famous Yellowstone pack is managed like any other wolf pack under the state's science-based wildlife management plan. To protect local wolf populations, Wyoming reduced the number of wolf tags available in the affected hunting unit from eight to four this season. The season opens September 15, and successful wolf hunts remain rare, with statewide hunter success rates averaging only about 3 percent. Hunter advocates warn that publicly targeting law-abiding hunters could discourage participation in regulated wildlife management programs and put private citizens at risk of harassment or threats.  Our thoughts, private hunters should not face intimidation for participating in a legal, state-managed hunting season. https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/bounty-wolf-hunter-identities/ Ohio YouTubers Convicted After Years-Long Deer Poaching Scheme Two Ohio YouTubers who ran the now-removed Creek Kings Outdoors channel have been sentenced after investigators uncovered a years-long deer poaching operation tied to online content and sponsorship money. William Bethel, 28, and Justin Booth, 23, admitted to 20 wildlife-related offenses each, including illegally hunting deer, trespassing, and failing to properly tag harvested animals. Investigators say the pair illegally hunted deer in Columbus-area parks where hunting is prohibited and falsely claimed some of the animals were harvested in Kentucky. According to Outdoor Life, Franklin County Wildlife Officer Mark Williams says the men were motivated by YouTube views and sponsorship deals, calling the case "wildlife commercialization with a modern twist." He says every deer featured on their channel was illegally killed or possessed in some way. The investigation began after park staff discovered bait, tree stands, and trail cameras inside Three Creeks Metro Park. Even after officials removed the equipment, the men returned, allowing investigators to identify and document their activities over the following hunting season. Williams says the case also highlights clues that can help expose illegal hunting, such as transporting an ungutted deer over long distances to conceal where it was actually killed. The two cousins were ordered to pay more than $37,000 in combined fines, fees, and court costs. They will each serve nine days in jail, lose their hunting, fishing, and trapping privileges for five years, and are banned from Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks during that time.

Pasture Conditions Worsen Compared To Last Week & Last Year Pasture conditions continue to deteriorate as wild fires claim thousands and thousands of acres.  According to USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service  for the week ending August 2nd, 2026, 46% of the U.S. pasture rated very poor to poor compared to 42% the previous week and 26% the previous year.  Very poor to poor pasture conditions for the 10 states with the worst conditions look like this: Virginia 43%, South Dakota and Montana at 46%, West Virginia at 51%, Utah at 54%, Arizona at 66%, New Mexico at 70%, Nebraska at 71%, Wyoming at 75% and Colorado at 76% very poor to poor pasture conditions.  REFERENCE: https://meatingplace.com/tyson-jbs-shares-rise-after-usda-announces-mexico-cattle-reopening/ Ground Beef Prices Rising The Fastest Beef prices continue to climb as strong consumer demand meets tighter supplies. Since 2022, when U.S. beef production hit record levels, total production has fallen more than 10 percent. During that same period, Choice boxed beef prices have jumped 44 percent, while retail beef prices are nearly 30 percent higher. According to Oklahoma State University livestock marketing specialist Derrell Peel, ground beef prices have climbed even faster. As steaks and premium cuts become more expensive, consumers often switch to ground beef, boosting demand. At the same time, supplies of ground beef have tightened even more than fed beef, creating even greater upward pressure on prices.

Instead of relying on handwritten notes or time-consuming pasture checks, ranchers can monitor animal location, health, breeding activity, calving events, treatments, financial records, and pasture performance from a smartphone, tablet, or computer—even when working offline in a remote country. Solar-powered GPS tags with cellular and satellite connectivity help keep producers connected to their herd regardless of pasture location, while automated alerts and detailed reporting provide the data needed to make faster, more profitable management decisions. Designed for both commercial cow-calf producers and registered seedstock operations, the 701x Autonomous Rancher is helping modern ranches reduce labor, improve efficiency, and put actionable data to work every day.  xTPro - GPS Ear Tag from 701x The xTpro tag gives ranchers the ability to monitor location, breeding, and health insights of their adult animals in their herd - and make faster, more informed management decisions with that data. Developed with feedback directly from ranchers, the xTpro tag features a two-pin design, solar powered battery, as well as cellular and satellite connection - eliminating all questions of durability, manual charging, and the need for expensive base stations for the xTpro tag to work.

Packer Shares Increase As Opening To Mexican Cattle Is Announced USDA's decision to begin reopening the border to Mexican cattle imports sent beef packer stocks soaring Monday. Tyson Foods jumped nearly 7 percent, while JBS gained as much as 8 percent as investors welcomed the prospect of more cattle supplies. Imports will resume August 24 through Douglas, Arizona, with every animal undergoing USDA inspection for New World screwworm. While the move could eventually ease record-high cattle prices and improve packer margins, USDA says the reopening will be gradual, meaning immediate relief to the tight cattle supply is unlikely.  REFERENCE: https://meatingplace.com/tyson-jbs-shares-rise-after-usda-announces-mexico-cattle-reopening/ Cattle Association's Response To Southern Border Opening The National Cattlemen's Beef Association says the USDA decision to reopen the border and their response to New World Screwworm has put the US cattle industry in a strong position to begin safe and gradual reopening of the southern border to cattle shipments.  However, the United States Cattlemen's Association is disappointed in USDA's decision to move forward with reopening the southern border to Mexican cattle when they say so many unresolved risks remain for the U.S. herd.  USCA underscores that border policy must be driven by science-based risk assessment and on-the-ground capacity.

Property Rights & Squatters, Harrison Ford's Real-life Heroics, and a Smart Travel Tip

Learn about a New York farmer's costly property dispute with squatters to Harrison Ford's real-life rescue 25 years ago and a simple travel tip for staying connected without cell service that even the kids will love. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Farmer Says Neighbor Claimed Part of His Cornfield Through "Squatter's Rights" A New York farmer is fighting to reclaim part of his cornfield after a neighbor claimed ownership through a legal process known as adverse possession, often called "squatter's rights." A little back history,the parcel in the case is a 300-acre farm that was leased by the brothers in the 1970s up until 2009, when the landlord offered to sell the ground. They purchased the property, continuing to farm the ground. Directly adjacent to the 300-acre farm sat a private residence—an older, but well-maintained house on a 2.5-acre lot. The house was fronted by a highway and surrounded on three sides by Hoskins' newly-acquired farmland. Stan Hoskins, 79, says what started as a small garden crossing onto his property gradually expanded over the years. According to Hoskins, the neighbor added a fence, a greenhouse, and several maple trees, eventually taking over about 60 feet of the field. The man the Hoskins purchased the farm had property line disputes with the owners of this house, according to Hoskins. When they went from being a tenant to being an owner, the property line dispute became ours. The Hoskins thought basic reason and decency would solve things, but were dead wrong. Instead they walked into a wall of entitlement. When Hoskins asked the neighbor to remove the structures in 2024, the neighbor argued the land now belonged  to him under adverse possession laws. Those laws can allow someone to gain ownership of property if they openly use it for a certain period of time and meet specific legal requirements, which vary by state. The dispute has led to an expensive court battle. Hoskins says he has spent about $75,000 in legal fees trying to recover the land. He even offered a compromise that would allow the garden to remain temporarily while preventing future ownership claims, but the offer was rejected. The case is scheduled to go before a judge in late July 2026. Hoskins hopes his experience serves as a warning to other landowners. His advice: don't ignore small property line disputes, because they can grow into costly legal battles over time.

If you remember, the teen had become separated from his troop, spending the night in a cave. The next morning the boy scout used his belt buckle to reflect sunlight into the sky, catching the attention of Harrison Ford, an avid helicopter pilot, landed - picking up the teen and safely flew him back to his troop. The year before in 2020, Harrison Ford had assisted another rescue. This time a climber who suffered from altitude sickness climbing the Table Mountain in Idaho Falls, Idaho. During that rescue Ford helped the hiker into his helicopter, then flew to an area hospital. Can you imagine Indiana Jones or Hans Solo actually saving you?! Summer Tip Trip: Don't Count on Cell Service Ever find yourself visiting high trafficked areas only to be in zero cell service? For example, a recent tourist in Yellowstone when driving up to one of the popular locations. The husband, thanks to walkie talkies, would pull up and drop off the family, always taking along a walkie talkie. Once parked they were able to meet up easily via directions on the walkie.  Another use for walkie talkies? Use on cruise ships when cell service plans don't cover while at sea or if you don't want to spend the extra money for an internet plan. OUTDOORS FIELD REPORTS & COMMENTS We want to hear from you!

Caite Corripio: How to Make Your Health Span Match Your Lifespan About Caite Corripio Caite Corripio is a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach and co-founder of Healthy and Vibrant, where she helps people create sustainable lifestyle change around metabolic health, weight management, stress, and whole body well-being. She has authored two books, "100 Calorie Snacks" and her newly released "100 Self-Care Practices," and hosts a free monthly wellness webinar for her community. Episode Highlights Health Span Versus Lifespan Caite opens the conversation with a foundational truth about aging: "the goal is that you're healthy" so that health span matches lifespan, rather than spending retirement years cycling through doctor visits instead of living out long-planned goals. The Three Macros Made Simple Caite breaks down nutrition into carbs, protein, and fat using a memorable analogy from Winnie the Pooh, where protein is the slow and steady Eeyore, carbs are the quick-burst energy of Tigger, and healthy fat is the wise old owl who balances the two. Pairing macros together, she explains, prevents the blood sugar spikes that come from eating carbohydrates alone. Sugar Cravings and Self-Awareness Caite speaks candidly about her own history with sugar, sharing that she has "a sugar addiction" and continues to fight for better health every day, even while enjoying a slice of cake on her birthday without spiraling into more sugar. Restoring the System Through Sleep and Stress Management Caite calls sleep "nature's nurse," describing it as the time when the body repairs itself, and encourages listeners to release the badge of honor mentality around running on too little rest. She and Julie also discuss box breathing as a simple reset tool, with Caite walking through the visual of breathing around the four sides of a box to calm the nervous system in moments of stress. Wearables and Intentional Tracking Caite discusses her experience wearing a continuous glucose monitor and an aura ring to understand how food, sleep, and travel affect her body, emphasizing that tracking data only matters when it leads to a change in behavior. Movement and Muscle as Retirement Planning Caite reframes exercise as an investment, noting that adults begin losing eight percent of muscle mass per decade after their thirties, and encourages listeners to build strength for the practical demands of daily life, from carrying luggage to preventing falls. Building an Eating Routine Caite recommends eating every two and a half to three hours in smaller, protein and carb balanced portions rather than one or two large meals, and encourages starting the day with protein within about an hour of waking. Choosing Health as a Daily Choice Caite closes with an empowering reminder that a family history of type two diabetes does not have to be a destiny, and that being healthy is a choice made through consistent, sustainable steps rather than a single overnight change. Key Takeaways Health span should be prioritized alongside lifespan through consistent daily habits Balancing protein, carbs, and healthy fat helps prevent blood sugar spikes Sleep and stress management are foundational tools for restoring the body Wearable data is only valuable when it leads to intentional action Building muscle supports independence and confidence at every stage of life Sustainable change comes from small, repeatable choices rather than overnight transformation Connect with Caite Corripio Website: behealthyandvibrant.com Connect with Julie Riga Stacklist: https://stacklist.app/julieriga #stayoncourse #healthspan #wellnesscoach #selfawareness #healthylifestyle Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

More Meat Companies Join USDA's Product Of USA Program The USDA has added 10 more meat and poultry companies to its Product of USA labeling program. The program, launched earlier this year, allows companies to label products as "Product of USA" only if the animals were born, raised, slaughtered, and processed in the United States. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says the label gives consumers confidence they're buying truly American-raised products while supporting U.S. ranchers, processors, and rural communities. Among the latest companies joining the program are Harris Ranch, One World Beef, Upper Iowa Beef, American Foods Group, Agri Beef, FPL Food, Wholestone Farms, and Harrison's Poultry. USDA says expanding participation in the program is part of the Trump administration's effort to strengthen domestic food production and support independent livestock producers and meat processors. REFERENCE: https://www.meatpoultry.com/articles/33780-product-of-usa-label-program-adds-10-meat-companies Legislation Introduced To Break Up Meatpacking Monopolies A group of House Democrats has introduced legislation they say would increase competition in the U.S. meatpacking industry. The bill targets the nation's four largest beef processors—Cargill, JBS, Tyson Foods, and National Beef—which lawmakers say control about 85 percent of the U.S. beef market. The proposal would limit market concentration, prevent large companies from controlling multiple major meat sectors, strengthen oversight of pricing practices, and provide financial assistance to help smaller processors and farmer cooperatives expand. Supporters say the legislation would help independent farmers, ranchers, and consumers by increasing competition in the meat industry.

Learn about a Yellowstone bison attack, a Wyoming bear encounter camping, and discuss the 2026 National High School Rodeo Finals. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Outdoors and Western Lifestyle News: Bison, Bears & Rodeo From the rodeo arena to the great outdoors, today's headlines highlight both the excitement and unpredictability of life across the American West. Here's a look at three stories making news. Yellowstone National Park Visitor Seriously Injured After Aggressive Bison Attack at Bridge Bay Campground A visitor to Yellowstone National Park was seriously injured Friday evening after an aggressive bull bison charged and tossed him about eight feet or more into the air near Bridge Bay Campground. Professional photographer Mike MacLeod, who witnessed and filmed the incident, said the man was walking with his grandson when the bison suddenly charged, despite the pair being about 100 yards away. The grandson escaped, but the grandfather was struck by the bison, flipped into the air, and suffered serious injuries. MacLeod said the bull had been acting aggressively throughout the campground, charging at vehicles, people, and anything in its path. After the attack, the bison stood over the injured man until MacLeod and several bystanders shouted and moved toward the animal, causing it to retreat. Other campers immediately called 911 and helped care for the victim until Yellowstone emergency crews arrived. The National Park Service has not yet released official details about the incident. According to MacLeod, the victim's grandson later confirmed his grandfather suffered significant injuries and remains in recovery. Wildlife experts note that bull bison become especially aggressive during the annual breeding season, known as the rut, which runs from June through September. While many Yellowstone wildlife encounters involve visitors getting too close to animals, MacLeod said this incident appeared different, with those involved keeping what is generally considered a safe distance before the unexpected attack. The incident is the second reported bison-related injury in Yellowstone this year and serves as another reminder that wild animals can behave unpredictably, even when visitors follow recommended safety guidelines. Reference: https://cowboystatedaily.com/2026/07/11/tourist-seriously-injured-after-yellowstone-bison-launches-man-8-feet-in-the-air/ Black Bear Tears Into Camp in Wyoming, But Two Women Escape Unharmed Two women are counting themselves lucky after a frightening overnight encounter with a black bear in Wyoming's Big Horn Mountains. Maggie Bassett and Shonna Dehl were camping when they say a black bear ripped into their tent, apparently determined to get inside. The pair yelled, screamed, and even fired warning shots, but they say the bear kept returning. After several tense minutes, the bear finally left long enough for the women to reach their vehicle. They stayed inside, honking the horn for hours before driving to a nearby family cabin. Neither woman was injured, but when they returned later, they found their campsite and tents badly damaged. The women say they had taken recommended bear precautions, including storing food properly and keeping nothing edible inside their tents. Wildlife experts believe the bear may have been "food-conditioned," meaning it had previously learned to associate campsites and people with food. Bears that lose their natural fear of humans are more likely to approach camps and create dangerous situations. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department has been notified and plans to trap and relocate the bear. The incident is a reminder that even when campers do everything right, wildlife can still behave unpredictably. If you're spending time in bear country this summer, experts recommend securing food, carrying bear spray, staying alert for signs of bears, and giving wildlife plenty of space. Preparation can't eliminate every risk, but it can greatly improve your chances of staying safe.

Retail Beef Prices Continue To Climb According to the latest USDA data, the retail beef price composite reached a new all-time record in June, averaging $9.35 per pound. That's up 14 cents from May and marks the highest monthly average ever recorded. Several popular cuts saw noticeable price increases, including ground chuck, stew beef, round roast, sirloin steak, and uncooked beef roasts. Round roast posted one of the biggest jumps, climbing 35 cents a pound during the month. The only major cut to see a price decline was chuck roast, which slipped 6 cents to $9.55 per pound. Despite record-high prices, consumer demand for beef has remained remarkably strong. USDA Meat Forecast For 2027 The USDA is forecasting even less beef production over the next two years as America's cattle herd remains historically tight. In its latest World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates report, USDA lowered its 2026 beef production forecast by 150 million pounds and trimmed another 185 million pounds from its 2027 outlook. Officials say fewer cattle being marketed and lighter carcass weights are behind the reductions. Meanwhile, chicken production is headed in the opposite direction. USDA increased its forecast for both this year and next, saying poultry producers are expanding because of strong profit margins. Pork production was adjusted only slightly lower, while turkey production saw little change overall. Despite the shifts among species, total U.S. meat production is expected to remain nearly unchanged over the next two years.

Why Electronic Identification (EID) Tags Are Becoming Essential For Modern Cattle Operations Electronic Identification (EID) tags are quickly becoming one of the most valuable tools available to today's beef producers. Whether you operate a commercial cow-calf herd, stocker operation, feedlot, or seedstock program, RFID technology helps improve cattle recordkeeping, herd health management, traceability, and overall profitability. As cattle producers continue adopting precision livestock management, EID tags provide faster, more accurate data collection while eliminating many of the errors associated with handwritten records. What Are Electronic Identification (EID) Tags Electronic Identification (EID) tags, also known as RFID cattle tags, contain a unique 15-digit identification number assigned to each individual animal. Think of it as a permanent identification number that stays with the animal for life. Unlike traditional visual ear tags, RFID tags communicate electronically with compatible readers. Because the technology is passive, no batteries are required. When scanned, the RFID chip instantly transmits the animal's identification number to a handheld reader, panel reader, scale head, or herd management software. This technology allows producers to quickly record: Individual animal identification Vaccination history Deworming records Breeding dates Pregnancy status Weaning weights Performance data Treatment history Marketing information Understanding USDA 840 Tags vs. Manufacturer RFID Tags Many producers recognize official USDA EID tags by their 840 prefix. The first three digits identify the country of origin. 840 = United States Official Identification Official 840 tags require a Premises Identification Number (PIN) for purchase. These tags are commonly used for interstate movement and animal disease traceability. Many cattle operations also use manufacturer-coded RFID tags that function exactly the same but do not require a PIN. For example, ALLFLEX manufacturer-coded tags begin with the prefix 982. Both provide reliable electronic identification for herd management. Choosing The Right RFID Equipment Selecting the proper RFID system starts with choosing tags, readers, and applicators designed to work together. ALLFLEX, a leader in livestock identification technology for more than three decades, offers: Official USDA 840 RFID tags Manufacturer-coded RFID tags Matched visual and electronic tag sets Tissue Sampling Units (TSU) Handheld RFID readers Panel readers Mobile connectivity through the ALLFLEX CONNECT app Proper tag placement and using the correct applicator are essential for maximizing tag retention and long-term performance.

River Access Dispute in New Mexico & Beat the Heat

Learn about the New Mexico landowner facing felony charges in a river access dispute, plus learn what really works to beat the heat. Protect yourself and others during extreme summer temperatures. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! New Mexico Landowner Arrested After Alleged Armed Threats Against Fishermen  A New Mexico landowner has been arrested and charged with five felony counts of aggravated assault after authorities say he repeatedly threatened anglers who were legally fishing and wading in the Pecos River. According to the New Mexico Department of Justice, Erik Briones allegedly confronted multiple fishermen over several years while carrying firearms, despite court rulings affirming the public's right to access and wade in many of the state's rivers. Witnesses reported that Briones made threats suggesting he could shoot across the river and warned anglers they would be responsible if they were hit. One widely cited incident, captured on video in 2023, allegedly shows Briones holding a shotgun and telling a fishing guide, "I'm gonna start target practicing," while the guide stood in the river. The arrest comes amid a broader legal battle over public access to New Mexico waterways. Courts, including the New Mexico Supreme Court and later federal courts, have repeatedly upheld the public's right to wade and fish in streams that cross private property, provided people do not trespass on private land to gain access. Authorities also accuse Briones of ignoring court orders by installing barbed wire fences, using heavy equipment to alter the river channel, and creating hazards that could endanger anglers. State officials say these actions were intended to discourage public use of the river. New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez said the case is about enforcing both public access laws and criminal laws against threats of violence. The arrest marks the latest chapter in New Mexico's ongoing debate over private property rights and public access to rivers, with state officials emphasizing that disagreements over access laws do not justify intimidation or armed confrontations.  According to KOB4 News, the New Mexico attorney general had filed a motion to keep Briones in jail until trial. A hearing on that motion was canceled, and Briones is now being released. Court records show Briones must wear an ankle monitor after release. The records also say he cannot return to his residence on the Pecos River before his trial.

The best ways to beat the heat include drinking plenty of water, limiting strenuous outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day, wearing lightweight, light-colored clothing, and seeking shade or air conditioning whenever possible. Do and Don't In The Heat Don't take cold showers. This can constrict blood vessels and make one hotter after drying off from the cold shower. Don't sleep in the nude. Wearing pajamas offer an extra layer of wicking away the sweat at night from the sheets. Do drink electrolytes. These aid in staying hydrated along with drinking plenty of water. Do take a handkerchief, wet with cool water and wrap around the neck. This works well when working in the heat. Do offer fresh water daily to pets, preferably in a shaded area away from flies. Do use fans to cool off homes to shops to barns and pens. Tip: Set a bowl of ice in front of the fan so that cool air is blown. Not everything people try is effective, however. Waiting until you're thirsty to drink water can lead to dehydration, and using fans alone during extreme heat may not provide enough cooling when temperatures become dangerously high. Alcohol and excessive caffeine can also contribute to dehydration. Whether you're working outdoors, farming, fishing, or enjoying recreation, recognizing the signs of heat exhaustion and heat stroke can help prevent serious illness.

Legal Battle Involving Agriculture, Free Speech, and The U.S. Beef Industry One of the most talked-about moments in beef industry history happened nearly 30 years ago, when television icon Oprah Winfrey found herself in a Texas courtroom. In April of 1996, during an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, guest Howard Lyman raised concerns about mad cow disease, or BSE, and the possibility it could spread in the United States. After hearing the discussion, Oprah famously said it had "stopped me cold from eating another burger." At the time, fears surrounding mad cow disease were growing around the world, even though the disease had not been found in U.S. cattle. The comments drew sharp criticism from cattle producers, especially in Texas, the nation's largest beef-producing state. In 1997, a group of Texas cattlemen sued Oprah and Lyman for more than $10 million under the state's food disparagement law, arguing the broadcast unfairly damaged consumer confidence and contributed to declining cattle prices. The case went to trial in Amarillo in 1998. After six weeks of testimony, the jury ruled in favor of Oprah and Lyman, finding they had not violated the law or defamed the beef industry. A later appeal was also unsuccessful, bringing the case to a close. Today, the lawsuit remains one of the best-known legal battles involving agriculture, free speech, and the U.S. beef industry.

From cruise line bans to drone regulations, learn how breaking travel rules can have lasting consequences. Discover why 16 cruise passengers were banned and what every drone owner should know before flying. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Cruise Vacations Can End with a Lifetime Ban  Cruise Chaos Ends with Lifetime Consequences for 16 Passengers  What began as the end of a relaxing cruise turned into a chaotic scene at the Port of Miami after two families became involved in a large fight while leaving the Carnival Conquest. Video of the incident quickly spread online, showing passengers exchanging punches as shocked travelers looked on and law enforcement rushed in to restore order. According to the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office, the incident was considered a "mutual combat" situation, and no one involved chose to press charges. Even without criminal charges, Carnival Cruise Line took swift action, permanently banning 16 passengers from sailing with the company in the future. Carnival praised law enforcement for responding quickly and reiterated that violent or disruptive behavior has no place on its cruises. The incident serves as a reminder that actions taken both onboard and in cruise terminals can have lasting consequences long after a vacation ends. Reference: https://people.com/16-cruise-passengers-put-on-do-not-sail-list-after-massive-brawl-breaks-out-12005733? Can You Be Placed on a Cruise Line's "Do Not Sail" List? Many travelers don't realize cruise lines maintain their own internal "Do Not Sail" lists. Unlike the airline industry's government-managed No-Fly List, cruise companies independently decide who may be denied future bookings. Being placed on one can happen immediately following a serious incident—and in some cases, passengers don't find out until they attempt to book another cruise. Why Cruise Lines Ban Passengers Cruise vacations are designed to be safe, family-friendly experiences for thousands of guests living together in close quarters. Because of that, cruise lines enforce strict codes of conduct. Common reasons passengers find themselves permanently banned include: Physical fights or assaults onboard or in cruise terminals Threatening crew members or fellow passengers Severe intoxication leading to dangerous behavior Bringing illegal drugs or prohibited weapons onboard Damaging ship property Repeated violations of ship rules Filing fraudulent payment disputes or chargebacks after completing a cruise Even if local police do not file charges, cruise lines can still determine that a passenger violated company policy and prohibit future travel. No Criminal Charges Doesn't Mean No Consequences The Miami incident highlights an important distinction. Law enforcement determined the fight was a mutual combat situation, and none of the participants wanted to pursue criminal charges. However, Carnival still exercised its right as a private company to deny future service. Just as restaurants, hotels, airlines, and sporting venues may refuse service after violent incidents, cruise companies reserve the same authority through the passenger ticket contract every guest agrees to before boarding. Is There One Universal Cruise Blacklist? Not exactly. Unlike the federal No-Fly List used by airlines, there is no single worldwide "No Sail List" shared across every cruise company. However, several major cruise brands operate under the same corporate ownership. In serious cases involving violence, illegal activity, or significant financial losses, passenger information may be shared among affiliated cruise lines, potentially affecting future bookings across multiple brands. Know the Rules Before Flying Your Private Drone! Travel Smarter by Knowing the Rules Before You Go Flying drones in U.S. National Parks is strictly prohibited. The National Park Service enforces a federal ban on launching, landing, or operating unmanned aircraft on all lands and waters it administers. [1, 2] However, rules at State Parks vary widely depending on the specific location and state. National Parks: The ban applies to all U.S. National Parks, Monuments, and Historic Sites to protect wildlife, preserve natural quiet, and ensure visitor safety. Violating this rule can result in up to 6 months in jail and fines of up to $5,000. [1, 2, 3]  State by State: State-level rules differ dramatically. Some states ban drones entirely, others allow them only in specifically designated areas, and a few require you to apply and pay for a recreational or commercial permit in advance.  Federal Airspace: Manned or permitted flights require checking FAA regulations, including passing the TRUST test and using airspace applications.

Trump Administration Throws Small Beef Packers A Life Line The Trump administration is rolling out a new $500 million relief program to help small and mid-sized beef processors as the cattle industry continues to deal with the smallest cattle supplies in decades and heavy financial losses. USDA says qualifying processors will receive payments if they maintain minimum cattle slaughter levels. The program is designed to help offset losses that are estimated at around $300 per head. The nation's four largest beef packers—Tyson Foods, JBS, Cargill, and National Beef—are not eligible for the assistance. Those companies process more than 80 percent of all U.S. fed cattle and are excluded from the program. REFERENCE: https://meatingplace.com/trump-admin-weighs-large-lifeline-for-small-beef-packers/ New World Screwworm Update As New World Screwworm continues to spread in Texas, livestock owners are being urged to stay alert. Beyond the animal health concerns, the pest could bring significant economic losses to producers. As of June 28, USDA has confirmed 27 cases in the United States. The parasite has been found in cattle, goats, and sheep in Texas, along with one infected dog in New Mexico. New World Screwworm has a long history in the U.S., dating back to the 1840s. By the 1960s, annual losses were approaching $100 million. Adjusted for today's dollars, a recent USDA study estimates Texas producers alone could lose more than $730 million, with the total economic impact reaching nearly $1.8 billion. While the first U.S. case this year was confirmed in Texas on June 3, livestock producers have already been feeling the financial impact for nearly a year because the U.S.-Mexico border has remained closed to Mexican cattle imports in an effort to slow the spread of the pest.

Gas Griddle Secrets: Seasoning, Cooking & Maintenance

Learn the best gas griddle tips and tricks, including how to season a new griddle with Bacon Up Bacon Grease, prevent bacon from curling, clean with water only, level your griddle properly, and improve cooking performance in windy conditions. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Why Proper Griddle Setup Matters Choosing the Right Location  Find an area that is protected from wind whenever possible. Wind can create uneven heating, increase fuel consumption, and make temperature control difficult. Consider using natural windbreaks or positioning your griddle near a sheltered area. Leveling Your Griddle for Consistent Cooking A level cooking surface helps grease flow properly and prevents food from sliding. Use inexpensive rubber shims from your local hardware store to adjust uneven surfaces. Check the level before every cook, especially when cooking on patios, driveways, or campsites. The Best Way to Season a New Griddle or Cast Iron Surface Why Seasoning Is Important Creates a natural non-stick cooking surface. Protects the griddle from rust and corrosion. Improves cooking performance over time. Seasoning with Bacon Up Bacon Grease Clean the griddle according to manufacturer recommendations before first use. Apply a thin, even layer of Bacon Up Bacon Grease across the entire cooking surface. Heat the griddle until the grease begins to smoke lightly. Allow the layer to bond to the metal. Repeat several times to build a durable seasoning layer. Common Seasoning Mistakes to Avoid Applying too much grease at one time. Skipping multiple seasoning layers. Cooking acidic foods immediately after initial seasoning. Cooking Bacon the Right Way on a Gas Griddle Start with a Cool Griddle Place bacon strips on a cool griddle before turning on the heat. Gradually heating bacon helps reduce curling. The bacon cooks more evenly and develops better texture. Additional Gas Griddle Tips & Tricks  Clean with Water Only Avoid harsh chemicals and soaps that can damage seasoning. While the griddle is still warm, add a small amount of water. Use a scraper to loosen food residue. Wipe clean with paper towels or a cloth. Monitor Grease Flow  Ensure grease drains properly toward the collection area. Recheck griddle level if grease begins pooling unexpectedly. Maintain Your Seasoning Regularly Add thin maintenance coats of oil or Bacon Up Bacon Grease as needed. Consistent care improves non-stick performance and flavor over time. Jet Ski Angler Reels Fights Off Shark, Reels In Tuna New Zealand Jet Ski Angler Lands Giant Tuna After Shark Encounter According to Outdoor Life, a New Zealand fisherman is celebrating an extraordinary catch after battling a massive bluefin tuna — and a hungry shark — from the seat of his jet ski. Matt Ringot was fishing off of a New Zealand bay on June 19 when he hooked a bluefin tuna weighing more than 220 pounds. What followed was a 90-minute struggle as the powerful fish towed his Sea-Doo through increasingly rough seas. Ringot says he brought the tuna alongside his jet ski several times, only to watch it dive back into deep water. Then, a mako shark joined the fight. The shark bit into the tuna and tore off its tail, a move anglers sometimes refer to as being taxed by a predator. While the damage reduced the size of the catch, Ringot says it also made the tuna easier to control. But the shark wasn't finished. After Ringot finally brought the fish to the surface, the mako returned and briefly fought over the tuna before swimming away. The shark continued circling as Ringot and his fishing partner, Brady Smith, tried to haul the oversized fish aboard. That proved impossible. The tuna was simply too large for the jet ski. The pair radioed for assistance, and two nearby fishing boats responded. With their help, the anglers finally secured the giant tuna and brought the remarkable catch in. Ringot later shared video highlights of the adventure on his YouTube channel, showing the long battle with the fish, the shark encounter, and the arrival of the boats that helped save the day. He says there was no way he could have landed the tuna alone, calling it one of the most memorable fishing experiences of his life.

Cattle Industry News JBS USA has announced plans to close two facilities as part of an effort to improve efficiency and focus on future growth. The company will shut down its beef production plant in Pennsylvania, and its value-added processing facility in Memphis, Tennessee. JBS says the move is part of a larger strategy to modernize operations, improve efficiency, and expand production of value-added food products. The company says production from the two facilities will be shifted to other JBS operations, and customers should not see any disruption in supply.  The announcement comes after JBS invested in facilities in Texas, Georgia, and Iowa to expand  prepared foods production, modernize plants, and improve efficiency. Earlier this year, the company also combined its beef and case-ready businesses to create a more streamlined operation. The JBS CEO says JBS continues to invest heavily in the United States and the future of food production, while making sure its operations remain competitive and efficient. The company says consumer demand for protein remains strong and believes these changes will help position JBS for long-term growth. Last fall, Tyson Foods permanently closed its beef processing facility in Lexington, Nebraska, eliminating approximately 3,200 jobs and removing nearly 5% of total U.S. beef slaughter capacity. More recently, labor disputes have emerged at several major processing facilities. Approximately 1,700 workers at Cargill's beef processing plant in Fort Morgan, Colorado, were locked out after contract negotiations between the company and union representatives failed to produce a ratified agreement. The Fort Morgan facility accounts for nearly 5% of total U.S. beef production. JBS also faced labor challenges earlier this year when nearly 4,000 workers at its Greeley, Colorado, beef plant participated in a strike before ultimately approving a new labor contract.   REFERENCE: https://meatingplace.com/jbs-to-close-beef-plant-value-added-facility/?utm_source=omeda&utm_medium=email&utm_cid=1103020073&utm_campaign=MTGMCD260614015&utm_date=20260615-0300   https://www.northernag.net/jbs-announces-closure-of-beef-production-plant-and-value-added-facility/ New World Screwworm Update Here's the latest on New World Screwworm.  As of Monday, June 15th, the total number of domestic cases is now at 12, 11 are considered active and 1 inactive with 0 active wildlife and feral cases.  Counties in Texas include Sutton, an inactive case discovered in a sheep.  Edwards county with cases discovered in cattle and goats.  Tom Green County, a case in cattle.  Zavala County, cases in cattle.  Gillespie (guh-LES-pee) County, a case in goats.  And La Salle County, cases in cattle.  In New Mexico, Lea County had that case in a dog.  Livestock and pet owners, wildlife game farms, producers, land users, remember to check stock often for open wounds and lethargic animals.  Report anything unusual and head to screwworm.gov for the latest confirmation maps, current status, treatment and U.S. readiness plans. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins says the USDA is closely monitoring the New World screwworm situation and what it could mean for the current ban on live cattle imports from Mexico. Speaking at a press conference in Texas, Rollins was asked whether the U.S. could reopen the border to Mexican cattle imports now that New World screwworm has been detected in Texas. Rollins responded that the issue is "not lost on me" and that USDA will continue to watch the data very closely. The comments come after USDA confirmed several New World screwworm cases in Texas, including cases found in cattle, sheep, goats and a dog. Federal officials say surveillance, quarantines, treatment efforts, and sterile fly releases are being used to contain and eliminate the pest. The U.S. suspended imports of live cattle, horses, and bison from Mexico in May of 2025 because of the northward spread of New World screwworm in Mexico. Before the border closure, the United States imported about 1.25 million head of cattle from Mexico each year, most of them feeder cattle headed to U.S. feedlots. Some livestock industry groups have questioned whether the ban remains effective, noting that  screwworm can spread through wildlife, pets, and other animals—not just cattle. Producers and feedlot operators have also said the closure has tightened cattle supplies and increased costs. Rollins did not provide any timeline for reopening the border but said USDA will continue evaluating the situation. Meanwhile, USDA's eradication efforts include expanded trapping programs, movement controls, and the release of sterile flies from facilities in Texas, Mexico, and Panama.

Through the first four months of 2026, U.S. beef exports totaled just over 365,000 metric tons, down 11 percent from a year ago. Export value fell 7 percent to $3.13 billion, as tight cattle supplies and record-high global beef prices continue to impact trade. There is some positive news. Following a summit between President Trump and the Chinese President, China renewed export licenses for most U.S. beef plants in May. The U.S. beef industry had been largely shut out of China since March of 2025 during the early stages of the trade dispute. However, industry leaders say it remains unclear how quickly beef shipments to China will recover. Additional trade barriers still need to be resolved before exports can fully rebound. U.S. Meat Export Federation President Dan Halstrom says the renewed plant registrations are encouraging, but more obstacles must be addressed before U.S. beef regains its position in the Chinese market. Outside of China, demand for U.S. beef remains steady. Export volume to the rest of the world is roughly unchanged from a year ago, while export value is up 7 percent. Major buyers including South Korea, Japan, and Canada have purchased less U.S. beef this year. Mexico, however, continues to be a strong customer, with purchases holding steady and demand for variety meats increasing. Several markets are showing strong growth, including Taiwan, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Dominican Republic, the Bahamas, Peru, Colombia, and Guatemala. Halstrom says global demand for U.S. beef remains resilient despite high prices and limited supplies. He notes challenges remain, including weak foreign currencies and higher energy costs that are affecting consumer spending in many countries.

On the afternoon of August 11, 2019, customers at a popular pub in Widnes watched as landlord Christian Thornton confronted a man he had recently barred from the premises. For Chris, it was part of the job. As the long-serving landlord of the Hammer and Pincers, he had spent years looking after customers, serving pints, organising charity events, and helping make his pub a cornerstone of the local community. But what began as a routine confrontation would end in a shocking act of violence that devastated his family and sent shockwaves through Cheshire and beyond.Known affectionately as "Tigger", Chris was a devoted husband to Pam, a father of three young children, and one of the most recognisable faces in Widnes. Friends described him as kind, funny and always willing to help others. Whether he was supporting local musicians, raising money for charity, serving a cold beer to regulars or cheering on his children's sporting achievements, Chris was a man who put people first. His murder left not only a grieving family, but an entire town struggling to come to terms with the loss of a man who meant so much to so many.In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, we examine the murder of Christian Thornton, the events that led to his fatal confrontation with Lee Abbott, and the investigation that followed. We explore the background tensions between the two men, the warnings and threats made in the days before the attack, the police investigation, Abbott's arrest, trial and conviction for murder, and the remarkable community response that saw hundreds rally around Chris's family. We also look at the wider concerns surrounding knife crime, pub safety, and violence in Britain's towns and cities. This is the story of a respected pub landlord, a senseless act of violence, and a community determined that Christian "Tigger" Thornton would never be forgotten.Exclusive content:Patreon - Ad Free, Early Access, Exclusive EpisodesFollow the show:British Murders with Stuart BluesDisclaimer:The case discussed in this podcast episode is real and represents the worst day in many people's lives.

The purpose: to spotlight North America's top livestock auctioneers and to salute their traditionally important role in the competitive livestock marketing process. Auctioneers from the United States and Canada came to the Cosmopolitan Hotel in Denver, Colorado to show off their auctioneering talents. Twenty-three contestants sold the same 20 head of cattle over and over again. The contest was held at hotels until 1967, when it traveled to its first LMA member market. Since then the WLAC has been held at member markets around the U.S. and Canada. Recent locations include Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Virginia and West Virginia. Though the rules have changed, the enthusiasm for the competition hasn't. The largest number of entrants in the contest to date was in 1981 when LMA received 105 auctioneer entries. The championship consists of three stages, the qualifying event, semifinals and the finals, held each June in conjunction with the LMA Annual Convention. Contestants competing for the world champion title must be 18 years old, employed as a livestock auctioneer and sponsored by livestock auction or dealer businesses, who share in the favorable publicity generated by the winners. LMA is proud to sponsor an event that brings together North America's top livestock auctioneers in a competition that showcases professionalism and promotes the auction method of marketing.

How Much Do Credit Card Fees Cost?  Most merchants pay between 1.5% and 3.5% per credit card transaction. Example: Auto Body Shop An auto body shop processing $214,000 annually in credit card payments at a 3.5% processing rate would pay approximately $7,500 per year in credit card fees. That's $7,500 that could otherwise be used for employee wages, equipment upgrades, marketing, or business growth. Are Checks Making a Comeback? In some industries, yes. Businesses that handle large invoices—such as contractors, auto repair shops, property managers, and professional service firms—are increasingly encouraging customers to pay by check or bank transfer to avoid processing fees. Checks can save businesses hundreds of dollars on large transactions, though they require more manual processing and can take longer to clear. What About Cash? Cash remains attractive because there are no credit card processing fees and funds are received immediately. However, cash also comes with challenges: Security risks Additional accounting and handling time Customer preference for card payments Many consumers now expect the convenience of paying with a card or mobile wallet. The Real Trend: Lower-Cost Electronic Payments Rather than returning to paper checks, many businesses are encouraging: ACH bank transfers Debit card payments Bank-to-bank payment apps Real-time payment systems These options often cost significantly less than traditional credit card transactions. Passing the Fee to Customers Some businesses are choosing to pass credit card processing fees directly to customers through a surcharge. For example, if a customer pays a $1,000 auto repair bill with a credit card and the processing fee is 3.5%, the customer may see an additional $35 surcharge on the invoice. This allows the business to recover its payment processing costs rather than absorbing them. Financial Literacy The set of skills needed to handle money wisely, invest effectively, and plan for a comfortable future is known as Financial Literacy. Did you know that these concepts can be introduced as early as ages 3 to 5, while foundational money habits are largely set by age 7. Financial education is life long, so start now!

Canada Closes Border To Texas Cattle & Feedlot Placements New World Screwworm continues to make headlines this week. The USDA has launched a dashboard tracking the pest's impact in the United States, where cases remain isolated to Texas.  That information can be viewed at screwworm.gov. The bigger concern is the spread of cases in Mexico, which has kept the U.S. border closed to imports of Mexican feeder cattle. That comes at a time when beef demand remains strong and supplies are already tight. Cattle imports from Mexico have been restricted since July 2025, with the greatest impact being felt in border states. Feedlots in Texas, California, Arizona, and New Mexico have traditionally relied on feeder cattle from Mexico. Recent data shows cattle-on-feed numbers in Texas and California are running below their five-year averages, while Arizona feedlots are seeing even larger declines. The discovery of New World Screwworm in Texas has also triggered new trade restrictions. Canada has temporarily banned livestock imports from Texas, saying animals that originated in or were present in the state within 21 days of crossing the border will not be accepted. Several U.S. states, including Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Montana, have also tightened veterinary requirements for livestock entering from Texas as officials work to prevent the pest from spreading further.

Hunting Controversies in the Headlines

From Cody Johnson's recent Alaskan grizzly hunt and Idaho's new fair-chase laws to a disputed trespassing elk antler shed citation, these three stories are fueling debate across the hunting community. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Why These Stories Matter  Together, these stories highlight some of the biggest conversations in hunting today, including wildlife conservation, hunting ethics, emerging technology, and the relationship between sportsmen and wildlife agencies. As regulations and public attitudes continue to evolve, debates like these are likely to remain at the forefront of the hunting community. Cody Johnson Defends Alaska Grizzly Hunt Amid Social Media Backlash Country music star Cody Johnson is responding to criticism after sharing photos from a recent grizzly bear hunt in Alaska, a trip he took following a year filled with career milestones and major award wins. The hunt quickly sparked debate online. While some fans congratulated Johnson and praised the experience, others criticized the decision to hunt a grizzly bear and questioned whether it was necessary. Some commenters expressed discomfort with seeing photos of the harvested animal, while others challenged the ethics of bear hunting altogether. Johnson says the hunt was conducted legally and under Alaska's wildlife management regulations. In a recent interview, he emphasized that the trip was about more than recreation, describing it as part of a broader conservation effort. According to Johnson, wildlife managers in Alaska closely monitor predator and prey populations. He noted that grizzly bears can have a significant impact on moose and caribou calves, killing 120 -150 calves, and that regulated hunting is one of the tools used to help maintain balance within the ecosystem. Supporters of the hunt echoed that point, noting that hunting licenses, permits, and fees help fund wildlife conservation programs, habitat restoration projects, and scientific research across the state. Johnson also addressed what he sees as a contradiction among some critics. He argued that many people who object to hunting still consume meat, but are removed from the process of harvesting animals themselves. The controversy highlights a long-running national conversation about hunting and wildlife management. Supporters view regulated hunting as an important conservation tool and a way to responsibly source food. Opponents argue that animals, particularly large predators like bears, should not be hunted except in the most limited circumstances. For Johnson, however, the Alaska trip remains a source of pride. He says the hunt was legal, conservation-minded, and rooted in traditions that many hunters believe contribute to the long-term health of wildlife populations. As the online debate continues, the story serves as another reminder of how differently Americans view the relationship between people, wildlife, and conservation.

Governor Brad Little signed the new law in April, and it takes effect this summer. Under the regulations, hunters will be prohibited from using transmitting trail cameras, drones, thermal imaging devices, and night vision equipment to hunt or scout big game and upland birds on public lands between late August and the end of December. The law marks a major shift for Idaho, which previously had few restrictions on technologies such as thermal optics for hunting deer and elk. Supporters say rapid advances in technology — including cheaper thermal devices and satellite-connected trail cameras — give hunters an unfair advantage and could undermine public trust in wildlife management. The restrictions apply specifically to public lands and seasonal hunting activity. Hunters will still be allowed to use cell-enabled trail cameras during spring bear season, and exemptions remain for predator hunting, including wolves and mountain lions. The law also allows technology to be used when recovering wounded animals. Conservation groups and wildlife advocates say the debate over hunting technology has been building for years. Supporters of the measure argue that devices capable of transmitting real-time wildlife images from remote wilderness areas could shift hunting away from traditional skills and toward expensive technology available only to wealthier hunters. The final law is considered a compromise after extensive negotiations among hunters, wildlife managers, and lawmakers. Idaho officials say the regulations will likely continue evolving as the state addresses enforcement challenges and changing technology. https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/idaho-hunting-technology-ban/ Wyoming Dad Ticketed After Son Picks Up GPS-Tracked Elk Antler As shed hunting becomes more popular across the western U.S., concerns about trespassing are also increasing, prompting some landowners to try unusual enforcement tactics. In one recent Wyoming case, reported by Cowboy State Daily, a ranch owner dealing with repeated trespassing agreed to let game wardens place elk antlers fitted with tracking devices around private property. One of those antlers was later picked up by a seven-year-old boy, leading to a trespassing citation for his father. According to Cowboy State Daily, the operation took place on the LU Ranch in Hot Springs County. The boy's father, Miles Galovich, received a citation on April 19 after authorities tracked the antler back to his home. The Galovich family owns neighboring property near the ranch, where public and private lands are closely mixed together. The family also reportedly has legal access to a road crossing the LU Ranch and nearby public land, according to the report. Ranch owners had allegedly asked Wyoming game wardens to distribute the GPS-equipped elk sheds around their property in response to ongoing trespassing concerns from shed hunters. According to Outdoor Life, Miles Galovich said he and his son believed they were near public land when the boy spotted the antler about 20 yards off the road. After the child picked it up and brought it home, game wardens later arrived and issued Galovich a trespassing citation. The antler was returned to authorities. Galovich argued the area was not clearly marked or fenced and said the situation “feels kind of like entrapment.” Court records show he could face fines up to $1,000 and potentially lose hunting and fishing privileges. A court hearing was scheduled for May 15 and at this time have not heard the final decision.

Texas Calf With New World Screwworm USDA's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) confirmed the detection of New World screwworm (NWS) in a 3-week-old calf in Zavala County, Texas, marking the first confirmed U.S. case. The larvae were found in the calf's umbilical area, and no additional cases have been detected to date. New World screwworm is a serious pest whose larvae feed on the living tissue of warm-blooded animals, posing risks to livestock, pets, wildlife, and, in rare cases, humans. In response, USDA and Texas animal health officials have activated their NWS Response Playbook and are taking immediate action to contain and eradicate the pest. Measures include establishing a 20-kilometer quarantine zone around the detection site, increasing surveillance and trapping efforts, deploying additional sterile screwworm flies, implementing wildlife monitoring programs, and forming a unified incident command team. USDA emphasized that the U.S. food supply remains safe, as screwworm does not infest meat products and any affected animals would be identified during federal meat inspection. Officials also urged livestock producers and pet owners in the region to monitor animals closely for signs of infestation and report any suspected cases immediately.

Managing Cattle & Grass In A Drought It is that time of year that many producers are moving cattle to summer grazing.  But drought is plaguing many and it continues to worsen.  According to drought.gov, as of May 5th, 60.92% of the country is experiencing moderate to exceptional drought, largely concentrated in the Southeast, High Plains, and West. There are strategies for managing drought, or I should say how we manage grass and forage uptake in the cowherd to get through drought.  Trevor Burian from Killdeer North Dakota joins us today.  Trevor has been a student of grazing, plant management, regenerative ag, and cattle efficiency and profitability his entire life. Cattle Industry News China & U.S. Beef Trade According to Derrell Peel, Oklahoma State University Extension Livestock Marketing Specialist, the role of China in global beef markets has changed rapidly in the last two decades.  China, including Hong Kong, was not a player at all in global beef markets as little as 15 years ago but has risen rapidly to become the largest beef importer in the last decade. For many years, China was a large beef producing and consuming country but had almost no presence in global beef markets. Starting about 2013, rising beef consumption in China began to exceed domestic beef production, leading for the first time to significant beef imports. Although per capita beef consumption in China remains relatively low — roughly 13 pounds compared to 59 pounds in the U.S. — the large population means that small increases in beef consumption represent large amounts of beef in total. According to the U.S. Meat Export Federation President CEO Dan Halstrom, China's reentry into the market for U.S. beef exports will have a significant and rapid price feedback to the American industry from other markets.  He called it a “hidden benefit” from China's renewal of registrations for U.S. beef facilities as well as hoped-for resolution of suspensions of a significant number of plants. Most of the registrations were abruptly declared expired in March 2025 before being listed as renewed last week following a meeting in Beijing between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping.  REFERENCES:  https://meatingplace.com/peel-the-importance-of-china-in-global-and-us-beef-markets/?utm_source=omeda&utm_medium=email&utm_cid=1103020073&utm_campaign=MTGMCD260518017&utm_date=20260519-0300 https://meatingplace.com/usmef-chinese-importers-clamoring-for-us-beef/?utm_source=omeda&utm_medium=email&utm_cid=1103020073&utm_campaign=MTGMCD260518017&utm_date=20260519-0300 https://www.nationalbeefwire.com/peel-the-importance-of-china-in-global-and-u-s-beef-markets Texas Joins DOJ Beef Packing Antitrust Probe An announcement came late last week that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton launched an investigation into the beef industry over potential anticompetitive conduct among the nation's largest meatpackers. Paxton said the investigation would be conducted alongside a separate antitrust probe announced by the U.S. Department of Justice under President Donald Trump's administration. The investigation is focused on the highly concentrated beef packing sector, where four companies — JBS S.A., Tyson Fresh Meats, Cargill and National Beef Packing Co. — collectively control more than 85% of U.S. beef processing capacity, according to Paxton's office. The attorney general cited reports alleging the companies may have used their market power to suppress cattle prices paid to ranchers while increasing beef prices for consumers.

USDA says sterile fly dispersal efforts are currently concentrated along the Gulf coast of northern Mexico, with additional drops occurring within roughly 50 miles of the Texas border. Officials say the agency is relying heavily on predictive modeling and real-time surveillance data to determine where those flies are deployed. USDA says those decisions are being made in coordination with the agency's Agricultural Research Service, using predictive analytics designed to anticipate where the pest could spread next, not simply where cases are currently confirmed.

Since 2010, U.S. beef imports have climbed from 2.3 billion pounds to more than 6.1 billion pounds, an increase of roughly 3.8 billion pounds, or nearly 166%. The sharp rise in imports has coincided with declining U.S. cattle inventories and historically tight domestic beef supplies. Retail Beef Prices Rocket Higher Retail beef prices continued their sharp climb in April as all 12 major beef categories increased from March levels, with 9 of the 12 cuts establishing new all-time record highs. The Retail Beef Price Composite increased from $8.93/lb in March to a record $9.28/lb in April, rising $0.35/lb in just one month. Ground beef prices continued pushing higher across every category. Ground Chuck increased from $6.68 to a record $6.92/lb, while Ground Beef climbed from $6.70 to $6.90/lb. Lean & Extra Lean Ground Beef jumped $0.31 to a record $8.51/lb, and All Uncooked Ground Beef increased to a record $7.06/lb. Roast values posted some of the largest monthly increases. Chuck Roast, USDA Choice Boneless surged $0.66 to a record $9.50/lb, while Round Roast, Choice Boneless climbed $0.51 to a record $8.98/lb.  Only three categories failed to establish new all-time highs during April. Round Steak, USDA Choice increased from $9.61 to $9.83/lb but remained below its February 2026 record high of $10.09/lb. Beef for Stew, Boneless rose from $8.41 to $8.65/lb but stayed below its November 2025 record of $9.172/lb. All Uncooked Other Beef increased from $7.68 to $7.92/lb, still below its November 2025 record high of $8.20/lb.  Featured Experts in the Cattle Industry Trevor Burian - Burian Rangeland Services, LLC Follow On Facebook: @trevor.burian 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?

Discover the unspoken rules of branding season etiquette every ranch hand should know, from proper cattle handling to respecting the crew. Plus the story of an Idaho hunter who survived a grizzly bear charge while protecting himself and his young son. Follow along and start cooking outdoors with confidence. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Why Branding Etiquette Matters on the Ranch Branding season is one of the busiest and most important times of the year in cattle country. It's where long days, hard work, and tradition all meet in the branding pen. Whether you grew up ranching or you're showing up to help neighbors for the first time, knowing the unspoken rules matters. Good etiquette keeps the crew safe, the cattle handled properly, and the day moving smoothly. Respect still goes a long way in cowboy culture. The Unspoken Rules of Branding Season Don't Ride in Front of the Boss Every ranch has a flow and leadership structure. Cutting in front of the ranch owner or lead rider is seen as disrespectful and disruptive to the cattle. Only Come if You Were Invited Brandings are community events, but they're still working operations. Showing up uninvited can create unnecessary confusion, safety concerns, and extra mouths to feed. Do the Job You're Assigned Not everyone ropes calves. Not everyone runs the branding irons. The Ranch Boss will place people where they're needed most. A good hand works where asked without complaint. Drag Calves Properly Never drag calves above the hock and/or drag by one leg. Learn How to Vaccinate Correctly Giving vaccines improperly can injure cattle and reduce effectiveness. If you don't know, ask someone experienced. Secondly, if multiple vaccines are being given - work as a team to understand for example who is going high or low on the neck. Leave the Dogs at Home Even well-trained dogs can create problems in a crowded branding pen. Extra animals increase stress on cattle and distract working horses. No Loping in the Pen A branding pen is tight, crowded, and dangerous. Moving too fast puts horses, riders, calves, and ground crews at risk. Let the Crew Handle the Roping Every ranch has trusted ropers who know the cattle and understand the pace of the operation. Unless asked, don't ride into the roping pen. Learn How to Wrestle Calves Roping is only part of the job. Good calf wrestlers are valuable because they know how to control calves safely and efficiently. Ask to be shown how, everyone is always happy to teach. Always Be Aware of Your Surroundings Brandings move fast. Horses, ropes, cattle, gates, and people are all moving at once. Situational awareness keeps everyone safer. Thank The Cooks and the Ranch Boss Events like a branding are a lot of work to host. From cooking for large crews with weather unknowns to leading the branding crew, be courteous and always thank the hosts for allowing you to be a part of the western way of life few have the chance to experience! Tradition, Respect, and Ranch Culture Branding season is about more than cattle work. It's about neighbors helping neighbors, preserving ranch traditions, and earning respect through hard work and awareness. The best ranch hands are usually the ones who stay humble, pay attention, and understand that cowboy etiquette is still very much alive. Hunter Survives Grizzly Charge in Idaho Forest An Idaho hunter shot and killed a charging grizzly bear after officials say the animal rushed toward him and his young son in a remote area near Yellowstone National Park. Wildlife investigators determined the man acted in self-defense and will not face charges. The encounter happened the evening of Saturday, May 16, 2026 in the Caribou-Targhee National Forest while the pair were hunting black bears near Cave Falls Road. According to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game, the grizzly crossed a meadow, caught the hunters' scent, and suddenly turned toward them. Officials say the hunters tried to alert the bear to their presence, but it charged anyway. The man first fired a handgun, then switched to his rifle and killed the bear only about five yards away. The hunter later contacted the Fremont County Sheriff's Office, which notified state wildlife officers. After investigating, officials concluded the shooting was justified because the bear posed an immediate threat to the man and his son. Grizzly bears remain protected under both state and federal law, meaning they can only legally be killed in situations involving defense of human life. The incident comes just weeks after another grizzly attack inside Yellowstone National Park, where two brothers were injured while hiking near Old Faithful. Both survived after being rescued and flown out by helicopter. Wildlife officials are reminding hunters and hikers in grizzly country to carry bear spray, travel with partners, make noise in dense areas, and stay alert for fresh bear tracks or signs.

Projected Higher Steer Prices In 2027 The May WASDE report provided the first official look at 2027 steer price projections, and USDA is forecasting prices even higher than the record levels expected in 2026 and the record prices seen in 2025. USDA projected the 2027 steer price at $254 per hundredweight, compared to the 2026 projection of $249.66 and the 2025 annual average of $224.37. That puts 2027 prices $4.34 higher than the projected 2026 record average, an increase of 1.7%. Compared to 2025, the 2027 projection is $29.63 higher, representing a 13.2% increase. USDA also raised its 2026 projection sharply from $241.66 in the April report to $249.66 in the May update due to tighter expected cattle supplies and stronger recent cash market data. USDA steer price projections refer to the 5-Area, Direct, Total All Grades steer price.

Rosebud has been on its first international road trip, to New York City. In this episode, Gyles and Harriet chat about their trip... about how they gossiped for 15 hours straight on the flight over, about being guests of the Queen at the New York Public Library and seeing Pooh Bear, Kanga, Eeyore, Tigger, Piglet and the new Roo, and about Anna Wintour giving Gyles an unexpected compliment. In the second half of the show, Gyles talks to Josh Ellis, one of Broadway's most distinguished Press Agents, who worked on productions such as 42nd Street, Into the Woods, The King and I, The Elephant Man and The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby. He tells Gyles insider tales about some of the stars he worked with during his long career, including Yul Brynner, Rex Harrison, Katharine Hepburn, Eartha Kitt, Cher, David Bowie and Ethel Merman. It's fascinating, and gives a real flavour of life at the heart New York's theatre land.Our thanks for Josh Ellis for this fun and fascinating conversation.
