My guest today is none other than Allan Savory. A man who once despised livestock and now a fierce believer in the role of livestock to our planet. Today we hear the back story of what fuels his life’s work and passion for helping ranchers through Holistic Management. Through his beliefs and stances on land management, climate change, and other issues, he’s managed to frustrate both the extreme environmentalists as well as some in our ranching community. So, if your good with status quo thinking, this show isn’t for you. But if you want to be challenged... listen in today and the following shows as I share with you my conversation with Allan Savory.

From the conversations at the coffee shop to the sale barn café, there’s FOUR questions just kind of hanging out there in the air… and I can guarantee you’ve probably engaged with someone recently over one or more of these questions. Today Dr. Kenny Burdine (University of Kentucky) joins me as he identifies FOUR questions that the 2025 Cattle Market will need to answer.

Plus, Jeremy Martin & Travis Chrismas with Stockmen's Source Beef Bulls on to visit about their upcoming sale Feb 1.

From what started as a group of ranchers believing that they needed to be more than just “price takers” in the cattle business to an elaborate idea of building multi-million dollar packing plant. Trey Wasserburger (TDAngus) returns as our guest to update us on the progress of Sustainable Beef LLC. It is now less than 3 months from the doors opening on the newest packing facility of this size. We’ll talk about the things that have changed since they broke ground like inflation, cattle numbers, and the higher markets. Plus, a discussion on their collaboration with partners from farm to plate… one specifically being Walmart. It’s now more than a pipe dream and definitely more than reality… this new packing plant is gonna happen!

Sale Day… that day we all look forward to every year… but often manage the least for it. Brett Crosby (Custom Ag Solutions) and Dave Voth (Good Grazing Makes Cent$) join me today as we discuss the costs to our business when we don’t provide adequate time nor have the proper information of potential future market prices before us as we make management decisions that affect the marketing of our livestock that will garner the highest net return. So to gather that future price information, Brett will share with us about Beef Basis, a tool that will forecast calf prices. The decisions you make are only as good as the information you have before you, so if you’d like to be more confident in your management decisions that affect your marketing… listen in

Wally Olson (Ranching.fyi) joins us today as we talk about some of the principles and thoughts he has regarding the current cattle market and cycle. He’ll explain his “Cow Bell” curve as a tool to find the undervalued and overvalued animal in your herd and why many Cow/Calf operations are a break-even business. We’ll also talk about the difference between building wealth versus profit in the cow business and what you should be doing with your business during this high tide in the market.
