In this episode, Brad shares insights from recent dairy science meetings and dives deep into total serum protein (TSP) levels in calves—a key indicator of successful colostrum management and passive transfer of immunity. He reviews data from multiple studies, including work by Dave Casper in Illinois and a Midwest study on beef-on-dairy cross calves. The results show improvements in TSP levels over time, but highlight that a significant number of calves—especially male and crossbred calves—still arrive at calf ranches with low TSP and signs of poor health.Brad also shares findings from University of Minnesota research, including a 20-year dataset from Waseca involving nearly 6,000 Holstein calves, showing correlations between TSP, growth rates, and calf survival. He questions the rigid cutoffs for TSP and emphasizes a more nuanced view based on outcomes like average daily gain and long-term milk production.The episode wraps with details on two upcoming calf care workshops in Minnesota this summer (July 29 in Rochester and August 5 in Eden Valley) where farmers, consultants, and educators can learn about colostrum management, TSP testing, pain mitigation, and more.Calf Care Workshop - Tuesday, July 29, 2025, Rochester, MN Calf Care Workshop - Tuesday, August 5, 2025, Eden Valley, MNQuestions, comments, scathing rebuttals? -> themoosroom@umn.edu or call 612-624-3610 and leave us a message!Linkedin -> The Moos RoomTwitter -> @UMNmoosroom and @UMNFarmSafetyFacebook -> @UMNDairyYouTube -> UMN Beef and Dairy and UMN Farm Safety and HealthInstagram -> @UMNWCROCDairyExtension WebsiteAgriAmerica Podcast Directory 

Alvopetro Energy CEO Corey Ruttan joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce that the company achieved January 2025 sales volumes of 2,457 boepd, including 13.8 MMcfpd of natural gas, 141 bopd from condensate, and 18 bopd of oil—a 41% increase from Q4 2024. Ruttan highlighted the role of the Murucututu field in this growth, following the successful recompletion of the 183-A3 well in Q3 2024. Alvopetro now plans to spud the 183-D4 location, targeting the Caruaçu Member approximately 110 metres up-dip from the 183-A3 site, with an additional exploratory target in the Marfin Formation. Results from the 183-D4 well are expected by the end of Q1 2025. After Murucututu, Alvopetro will drill and complete five development wells at the Caburé Unit as part of its development plan with its partner, further boosting production potential. In addition to its Brazilian operations, Ruttan shared the company's strategy to expand in Canada. Alvopetro is targeting the Mannville multi-zone heavy oil fairway, focusing on formations like Colony, McLaren, Waseca, Sparky, GP, Rex, Lloydminster, and Cummings. The company aims to leverage multilateral drilling technologies to unlock attractive economics from these resources. Alvopetro is also partnering with Durham Creek Energy, funding 100% of two earning wells at an estimated cost of $4.5 million in exchange for a 50% working interest in 19.13 sections of land in western Saskatchewan. If successful, this land position could support up to 100 development drilling locations, providing a strong foundation for future growth. #proactiveinvestors #alvopetroenergyltd #tsxv #alv #otcqx #alvof #OilAndGas #BrazilNaturalGas #EnergyInvesting #GasSales #Drilling #OilProduction #CoreyRuttan #EnergyStocks #NaturalGas #CanadianOil #BrazilEnergy #OilIndustry #Investing #EnergyExpansion #StockMarketEnergyProduction #CEOInterview #Q32024 #ProactiveInvestors #GasPlantCapacity #OrganicGrowth #EnergyStocks

I travelled down to meet with the dangerous bass mob of MN's southern region. These 3 guys bring a unique perspective due to difference in age & fishing style. Big-Fish Timmy Schroeder, the Waseca mob boss, brings a lifetime of tournament experience & success in every ring he's thrown his hat into, and wields immense power from spinnerbait to spinning pole. Along with the mob boss, who's far from an "old bull", we were also graced with the presence of the young calf, Walker Krampitz, coming off another "Gilmore Check" season. (Sky)Walker, has shown the galaxy that he's a deadly assassin poised for greatness, securing yet another Champions Tour Victory (2 Seasons, 6 regular season events, & 2 Big wins). Yet the episode wouldn't be complete without the mobs deadliest hitman, & heir to the swamp throne: Noah Schultz, who's proven he's the most dangerous angler North of the Mason-Dixon. It's not everyday you get 3 members of the mob on one show, but agreements were met and we had us a "T.I.M.E." as mob boss Timmy Shroeder would say. Huge Shoutout and Thank you to Noah & Jenna Schultz for the hospitality. Great people, geat conversations & stories...Cheers & Enjoy. Brought to you by Waypoint Angler Supply.

An officer's incredible story of spirit and recovery is recounted in a new documentary. The Weight of the Crown features former Waseca police officer Arik Matson, shot on duty four years ago, overcoming incredible obstacles to hunt one of the rarest ducks in North America.Support the show

It's been three years since Waseca police officer and father of two Arik Matson was shot while on duty. He survived, but sustained severe injuries to his brain. A new documentary follows Arik and his wife Megan Matson through the process of healing. It shows how the physical therapy was exhausting and frustrating at times, but Arik had an extra motivator. Hometown Hero Outdoors, a non-profit based in Stillwater, had promised to take him to the Bering Sea in Alaska.  Arik and Megan Matson joined MPR News host Cathy Wurzer to talk about the film and their family's journey.

For this episode, we have two key members of the Waseca Bass Mafia. In fact, we happen to have the old bull AND the young calf. Honored to have Sergeant Big Fish Tim Schroeder (Godfather of WB Mob), a wizard/master of the Jigworm, and Century Belt holder on Lake Minnetonka, who brings an intergalactic amount of tournament success. Tim has a unique story; being in law enforcement for 26 years, being a powerful force on the bass tournament trail, being a mentor and high school fishing coach are just a few highlights. One of his apprentices joins us as well, who just won a Classic Bass Champions tour event this past season on the Alexandria Chain (at only 19 years old), beating his high school fishing coach and mentor (Tim Schroeder took 2nd that event). If you don't know by now, I'm talking about the young Walker Krampitz (SkyWalker), who has proven his abilities as an angler against the best in the Midwest. Walker is a dangerous member & the heir of the Waseca Bass Mafia. Thanks for making the trip out gentlemen. (And thank you for the new sign!) 'Twas a reeel nice time.

Queen Drea of St. Paul describes herself as a sound alchemist. She loves the innovative, community-centered performances of Ananya Dance Theatre. The theme for this fall's performance is processionals, which can both celebrate life and disrupt its flow when they take the form of protests. Ananya Dance Theater investigated its theme by performing several processionals in the Twin Cities this summer; Queen Drea had the opportunity to be involved with one during the George Floyd memorial service in May. She looks forward to seeing how that idea has developed into a staged dance show, marked by interruption, innovation and liberation.  Queen Drea appreciates that Ananya Dance Theatre's works involve a confluence of artists alongside the dancers, adding, “Every year, I go, and there's just something unexpected.” “Michhil Amra: We Are the Procession!” plays Friday and Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at The O'Shaughnessy at St. Catherine University in St. Paul.  Zoe Cinel, curator at Rochester Art Center, recently saw a striking exhibit in Winona. “Googled Earth: Through a Looking Glass” is the work of artists Patrick Lichty of Winona State University and Negin Ehtesabian, who lives in Iran. The artists, who are married, have never been able to visit each other's home countries. As they await visas, they use Google Maps and virtual reality to share their homes. This exhibit shares that experience with viewers through a combination of mixed media and virtual reality. One pair of mixed media prints by Ehtesabian, for example, hang facing each other on walls, depicting images and symbols from the U.S. and Iran, respectively. Cinel was particularly intrigued by a series of tapestries created using imagery from the geography where both artists have lived. She says the nontraditional approach to a traditional craft looks like “if glitch art had a baby with a rug.” Overall, Cinel appreciated the personal, colorful show that “speaks about borders and humans at the same time.” “Googled Earth: Through a Looking Glass” is up until Oct. 4 at the Watkins Gallery at Winona State University. David DeBlieck teaches dance in the theater department of the College of St Benedict and St John's University. He loves the work of Sod House Theater, a Twin Cities-based company whose traveling annual productions invite audiences to engage with the space around them. Their current show “Table” integrates dinner — created by local chefs from local ingredients — and a show. Directed by Sarah Agnew, whose traveling food-centered shows have included “Arla Mae's Booyah Wagon,” the show is performed by an all-female cast who also serve as wait staff for the meal. It's an interactive show served up in courses, and DeBlieck looks forward to gathering with friends at the Hallock performance Saturday to enjoy time around a table.  Related Art Hounds: Comedy on the farm and in town “Table” runs through Oct. 1 in various communities across the state, including in Crookston, Minn., Sept. 21 in Waseca, Minn., Sept. 28, and in Rochester, Minn., Oct. 1. Please note that some performances have sold out.

================================================== ==SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1================================================== == DEVOCIÓN MATUTINA PARA ADOLESCENTES 2022“UN SALTO EN EL TIEMPO”Narrado por: DORIANY SÁNCHEZDesde: PERÚUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist Church 05 DE OCTUBREUN RASEO POR EL MUNDO«He peleado la buena batalla, terminó la carrera y permanecieron fiel» (2 Timoteo 4:7, NTV).El 5 de octubre de 1974, un estadounidense llamado David Kunst se convirtió en la primera persona en completar una vuelta al mundo a pie. El viaje apareció L cuatro años, desgastó veintiún pares de calzado y se rompió 23,300 kilómetros (14,500 millas) para cruzar continente cuatro. David comenzó el viaje en unión de 1970 en su ciudad natal de Waseca, Minnesota.Después de caminar desde Waseca hasta Nueva York, David sumergió su mano en el Océano Atlántico como gesto simbólico. A continuación, cruzó el Atlántico en avión hasta Lisboa, Portugal, y continuó por Europa y Asia hasta Calcuta, India. Cuando por fin llegó al Océano Índico, voló hasta Perth, en Australia Occidental, y cruzó a pie el continente hasta Sydney. Un vuelo a través del Pacífico lo llevó a Los Ángeles, California, donde comenzó la última etapa de su viaje. Volvió a pie desde California hasta Waseca, Minnesota, el lugar donde había comenzado todo.David llevó consigo un rollo de plástico para documentar la caminata. Hizo que el alcalde de cada ciudad y pueblo donde pernoctaba sellara y firmara el rollo. Al final de la caminata tenía seis hojas enrolladas, de 30 por 150 centímetros [12 por 60 pulgadas] totalmente cubiertas de sellos y firmas de funcionarios de todo el mundo. El hermano de David, John, lo acompañó en la primera mitad del viaje.Unos bandidos atacaron a los muchachos en las estribaciones de las montañas Hindu Kush de Afganistán, sin duda pensando que iban a obtener mucho dinero. David herido resultó y John murió de un disparo. Tras recuperarse con la ayuda del personal de la embajada estadounidense, David y otro hermano, Pete, partieron del lugar exacto donde habían matado a John y continuaron hacia Pakistán.Durante su recorrido por Australia, David conoció a una maestra australiana llamada Jenni. Se enamoraron, y David volvió para casarse con ella tras completar su vuelta al mundo.Al igual que David, ha sido desafiado a realizar una caminata histórica, pero esto es para Jesús, y sus efectos durarán por la eternidad. David ganó un poco de fama por su aventura, y una esposa. Cuando completes tu caminata para Jesús, tu recompensa será una corona de vida.

How many times have you held on to anger or resentment toward a friend or spouse out of stubbornness or maybe just a wounded ego? It can be hard to let go of feelings of resentment when we feel we've been wronged, but it's what we're called to do by Jesus himself: Forgive them not 7 times, but 77 times. Here to help us navigate those feelings of hurt and begin to move into forgiveness is Michelle Muff, marriage and family therapist based out of Waseca, MN.

On January 6th, 2020, Waseca, Minnesota Police Officer Arik Matson's life was changed as he was shot in the head in the line of duty.This tragic event has not only had a tremendous impact on Arik but it's also affected his wife and two children. During his recovery, he was transported to many different hospitals and eventually settled in Nebraska for the remainder of his recovery.While he's making tremendous progress and is physically healing quite well, there is one thing he is missing (aside from doing the "normal" things a husband, father, and officer enjoys), and that is being outdoors. He has missed one of his favorite pastimes, hunting specifically.Stay up to date with his hunt with us at our website. Officer Matson Hunt | Hometown Hero Outdoors

“WALKING with the Lord...”(December 20,2021)Did you know that the average pair of feet take around 7,500 a day? That means that in a lifetime, you will walk approximately 115,000 miles. The first man to walk around the world was a man by the name of David Kunst of Waseca, Minnesota. He completed his historic walk on October 5, 1974, after walking 15,000 miles. The trip required four and one-half years, during which time David went through 22 pairs of shoes. Here's a breakdown of the average steps per day associated with 10 professions, from highest to lowest:Here's a breakdown of the average steps per day associated with 10 professions, from highest to lowest: | Occupation | Average steps per day| Waiter | 22,778| Nurse | 16,390| Retail worker | 14,660| Farmer | 14,037| Stay-at-home parent | 13,813| Teacher | 12,564| Tradesperson | 11,585| Hairdresser | 9,209| Office worker | 7,570| Call center associate | 6,618 Stop your busy life for moment and think back through the years about "WALKING" with someone you loved! As a child remember holding hands with someone as you walked in the warm sunshine exploring new territory. Depending upon who you were with you were either full of confidence or nervous what was in the coming shadows. Soon you either fed off or feed the other person according to who had the most influence! I remember being with 2 or 3 other kids on my grandpa's land and feeling in charge because He had given me authority on his land! There is no uncertainty because you know where you are at and where you are going, simply you know the rules! You have authority! Well, consider today if you are a child of God, you can "WALK WITH HIM" each and every day! Let's build our faith from the Old and the New Testament: *Psalms 24:1-2 (KJV) THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S, AND THE FULNESS THEREOF; THE WORLD, AND THEY THAT DWELL THEREIN. 2 For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. 2nd Witness:*1 Corinthians 10:26 (KJV) For the earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof. But as great as that is with our good Father it only gets better, He has gifts for us: *Psalms 115:16 (KJV) The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord's: BUT THE EARTH HATH HE GIVEN TO THE CHILDREN OF MEN. How wonderful we can "WALK" in that confidence and assurance on this earth that our Father has gave to us just like I did my grandpa's as a child but even to a greater degree! Let's look at the beginning how even after sin entered the world that a man "WALKED" with God leaving a living testimony" *Genesis 5:21-24 (KJV) And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: 22 And Enoch “WALKED” with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: 24 And "ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD": and he was not; for God took him. Now if Enoch could "WALKED WITH GOD" in all that evil of the day that brought on the flood in Noah's time how much more can we today in the dispensation of GRACE. This is an amazing statement. This verse tells us that Enoch did not taste death. God just took him. In other words, he didn't even die, he was just translated to heaven with God. So, who is the oldest man who is still alive? It is Enoch. He still hasn't died.  If you trace history back to Adam, that is approximately 6000 years. Enoch was born when Adam was 622 years old. That makes Enoch approximately 5400 years Understand Enoch's "WALK WITH GOD" was a testimony that survives even till now: 

This is Coronavirus 411, the latest on Omicron and other COVID variants and new hotspots for December 14th, 2021. US health officials say Omicron does appear able to evade some of the immune protection of antibodies induced by vaccines but…preliminary data shows a booster raises protection high enough that it does well against the variant. Almost 80% of confirmed Omicron cases in the US are fully vaccinated. But about a third also had a booster. Omicron is now in 30 states. The masks are back on in California. A rule has returned requiring people to wear masks indoors starting Wednesday through at least January 15. The per capita rate of new cases in California has jumped 47% in two weeks. As in the past, the state was unclear how the mandate would be enforced. Turns out they weren't kidding. The Air Force discharged 27 people for refusing to get the vaccine, making them the first service members to be removed for disobeying the mandate. November 2 was the deadline, and more than 1,000 airmen have refused the shot, and more than 4,700 are seeking a religious exemption. The Supreme Court, and once you go there, there's nowhere else to go, declined to block New York's vaccine mandate for health care workers, which does not allow for religious exemptions. Some health care workers sued the state saying the mandate violated their religious freedoms, but the highest court effectively said there are no religious freedoms in this matter. A new AP poll shows Americans are worried about the Omicron variant, but not worried enough to do much about it. In fact, fewer say they're regularly wearing masks or isolating compared to the first of the year. 36% are very or extremely worried they or a family member will be infected, that's up from 25% in late October. 55% of those who are unvaccinated say they have little or no worry. In the United States cases were up 49%, deaths are up 40%, and hospitalizations are up 22% over 14 days. The 7-day average of new cases has been trending up since November 29.

This is Vaccine 411, the latest coronavirus vaccine information for December 14th, 2021. US health officials say Omicron does appear able to evade some of the immune protection of antibodies induced by vaccines but…preliminary data shows a booster raises protection high enough that it does well against the variant. Almost 80% of confirmed Omicron cases in the US are fully vaccinated. But about a third also had a booster. Omicron is now in 30 states. The masks are back on in California. A rule has returned requiring people to wear masks indoors starting Wednesday through at least January 15. The per capita rate of new cases in California has jumped 47% in two weeks. As in the past, the state was unclear how the mandate would be enforced. Turns out they weren't kidding. The Air Force discharged 27 people for refusing to get the vaccine, making them the first service members to be removed for disobeying the mandate. November 2 was the deadline, and more than 1,000 airmen have refused the shot, and more than 4,700 are seeking a religious exemption. The Supreme Court, and once you go there, there's nowhere else to go, declined to block New York's vaccine mandate for health care workers, which does not allow for religious exemptions. Some health care workers sued the state saying the mandate violated their religious freedoms, but the highest court effectively said there are no religious freedoms in this matter.

This is Vaccine 411, the latest coronavirus vaccine information for December 8th, 2021. The World Health Organization's office for Europe said kids 5 to 14 now account for the highest infection rates in the region. Overall cases and deaths have more than doubled in the last two months in the 53-country region, and the Omicron variant has been seen in 21 of those 53 countries. Early data out of South Africa suggests the Pfizer vaccine appears to be less effective against Omicron. Researchers found there was about a fortyfold reduction in vaccine-induced antibodies that could neutralize the new variant. That means Omicron seems more skilled at evading the antibodies generated by Pfizer than the beta variant, which only saw a threefold reduction. More home COVID testing is good right? The US administration is even talking about reimbursing home test kit purchases. But is it? Some health officials are pointing out that tests taken at home, regardless of whether they're positive or negative, never get reported and that is going to make tracking COVID data, which was already a challenge, even harder. Speaking of testing, the FDA says the Omicron variant may be more successful at evading tests for it. There are three kinds of tests, serology or blood antibodies, antigen, and PCR. If there are enough mutations in a variant, Omicron has 32 of them, that could generate more false negatives. Here's the latest thing people are saying can help with COVID, seaweed. Well, actually sea lettuce. Lab experiments show an extract of this algae could be beneficial in the pandemic fight. Other studies of other edible seaweed have shown promise but this one has been tested specifically as an antiviral treatment against certain viruses. Scientists say more seaweed tests are needed to be sure. In the United States cases were up 28%, deaths are up 13%, and hospitalizations are up 18% over 14 days. The 7-day average of new cases has been trending up since November 29. The five states that had the most daily deaths per 100,000 are Wyoming, Montana, West Virginia, Michigan, and Kentucky. There are 9,715,064 active cases in the United States. The five states with the greatest increase in hospitalizations per capita: Delaware 62%, Connecticut 60%, Rhode Island 53%, and Indiana and Massachusetts 49%. The top 10 counties with the highest number of recent cases per capita according to The New York Times: Fayette, IN. Bennington, VT. Allen, KS. Waseca, MN. Vermilion, IL. Socorro, NM. Sullivan, NH. Rush, IN. Neosho, KS. And Valencia, NM. There have been at least 791,514 deaths in the U.S. recorded as Covid-related. The top 3 vaccinating states by percentage of population that's been fully vaccinated: Vermont at 74%, Rhode Island at 73.7%, and Maine unchanged at 72.9%. The bottom 3 vaccinating states are Wyoming unchanged at 46%, Alabama unchanged at 46.5%, and Mississippi unchanged at 47.1%. The percentage of the U.S. that's been fully vaccinated is 60%. Globally, cases were up 10% and deaths were flat over 14 days, with the 7-day average trending up since October 15. There are 21,338,368 active cases around the world. The five countries with the most new cases: The United States 107,642. France 59,019. Germany 51,512. The U.K. 45,691. And Russia 31,096.

This is Vaccine 411, the latest coronavirus vaccine information for December 7th, 2021. The Mayor of New York City announced that all private employers, big and small, must now require their workers to get vaccinated, the most sweeping mandate of any big city or state in the U.S. And you must get the injection, there is no testing alternative. That will add about 184,000 businesses, including mom and pops, to those placed under previous mandates, The European Union's drugs agency recommended approval of an anti-inflammatory medicine to treat adults hospitalized with severe COVID. Now it has to be confirmed by the EU executive commission. The drug is RoActemra from Roche, currently used to treat arthritis. It works by tamping down the protein interleukin-6, often found in excess in COVID patients. In Spain, Christmas festivities at one hospital are suspected of infecting dozens of hospital staff. 170 people attended the Christmas dinner in a restaurant last weekend. And afterwards, 68 staff, including ICU nurses and doctors, tested positive. All took antigen tests before the event and were negative, and all of the infected staff were fully vaccinated. As always, there's not nearly as much of a war on COVID going on as there is a war on travel. The CDC has put five places in Europe on its list of "very high" travel risk destinations, including one of the very biggest for tourism, France. Also included on the list were Cyprus, Liechtenstein, and Portugal. So will New Yorkers be mad about these new business vaccine mandates? Not if this Morning Consult poll is to be believed. It shows broad approval by Americans for strict measures to control COVID, as long it doesn't cause businesses and services to shut down. The most commonly supported measures are better ventilation and enforcing social distancing. But masking and vaccine mandates also get the support of a comfortable majority, as in almost 70%. In the United States cases were up 19%, deaths are up 5%, and hospitalizations are up 18% over 14 days. The 7-day average of new cases has been trending up since November 29. The five states that had the most daily deaths per 100,000 are Wyoming, Montana, Kentucky, Michigan, and West Virginia. There are 9,666,139 active cases in the United States. The five states with the greatest increase in hospitalizations per capita: Delaware 63%, Connecticut 61%, Rhode Island 56%, Indiana 50%, and Massachusetts 48%. The top 10 counties with the highest number of recent cases per capita according to The New York Times: Allen, KS. Bennington, VT. Koochiching, MN. Sullivan, NH. Jackson, IA. Benton, MN. Waseca, MN. Mille Lacs, MN. St. Clair, MI. And Socorro, NM. There have been at least 789,742 deaths in the U.S. recorded as Covid-related. The top 3 vaccinating states by percentage of population that's been fully vaccinated: Vermont at 73.8%, Rhode Island at 73.5%, and Maine unchanged at 72.9%. The bottom 3 vaccinating states are Wyoming unchanged at 46%, Alabama at 46.5%, and Mississippi unchanged at 47.1%. The percentage of the U.S. that's been fully vaccinated is 59.9%.
