- 182 - Ep 168: Procrastination is Your Enemy
The gloves are off, which is usually what happens between siblings after Mom & Dad are gone if a good estate plan is not in place. Today we’re gonna take the gloves off and get gritty in a discussion with Attorney Rick Durfee (Durfee Law Group) about estate planning and the family dynamics that can often create conflict. Plus, the danger of relying on a Will as an estate management tool, some of the tools that can be used in good proactive Estate Management, and the dangers of kicking this can down the road. This is not a warm fuzzy show, but if you value the legacy you would like to leave behind… listen in. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #InheriteSelect #Kline #estateplanning #family #conflict #dynasticplanning #multigenerational

Sat, 11 May 2024 - 54min - 180 - Ep 166: Bird Flu… What If!!
It's more about the "unknown" than the "known" when it comes to Avian Influenza (Bird Flu). Dr. Fred Gingrich, American Association of Bovine Practitioners, is my guest today as we discussed the Influenza Type A H5N1 outbreak now being confirmed in Dairy Cattle. As a beef cattle rancher I have A LOT of questions like... Are beef cows susceptible? What are the symptoms? How is it transferred? Is it fatal? Then, what it will do to consumer confidence in any products that come from cows... oh and then what about traceability? And then… what IF it shows up in a Beef Cow? Dr. Gingrich rates this issue at a level 8.5 to 9 on a scale of 10. For the sake of your ranch and for our cattle industry, tune in for today’s show. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #InheriteSelect #Kline #BirdFlu #H5N1 #Traceability #purina #equine #horsenutrition
Sat, 04 May 2024 - 54min - 179 - Ep 165: Hey! What’s This About? GPS Tags (701X) & FerAppease
Today you get to listen in as I talked with two, totally unrelated, products in our ranching industry that I am considering using on our ranch. The first is GPS tags in livestock. Rob Paxson with 701X lays out how GPS tag technology works, how you would use it, who’s using it, who controls the data, and of course the cost. Then we’ll hear about a product aimed to mitigate stress in livestock called FerAppease. Founder and developer Dr. Rodorigo Bacalho explains what it is, how it works, it purpose in a cattle operation, and of course dosage and cost. It’s not a show endorsing the products, but if I have questions about them... I’ll bet you do to. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #Gelbvieh #DiamondV #InheriteSelect #PrecisionAG #GPS #EarTag #technology #LivestockStress #pheromone #allnatural #701X #FerAppease

Sat, 20 Apr 2024 - 54min - 177 - Ep 163: Status of Using Antibiotics, Implants, & Feed Supplements w Dr. Michael Apley
The use of Antibiotics, Implants, and Feed Supplements... honestly it feels like the start of an awkward conversation. However, Dr. Michael Apley (KSU) unpacks these topics as we not only talk through the history of Antibiotics in our food animals, but also their purpose in today’s cattle industry… from both an animal efficiency point of view but also from an animal welfare perspective. Then we'll have a discussion on Implants being used and the narratives in our industry by both producers and consumers that tend create division. Then we'll get into the uses and value of using Ionophores and Beta Agonists in our livestock feed. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #Gelbvieh #DiamondV #InheriteSelect #FoodSafety #Antibiotics #Implants #Ionophores #BetaAgonists
Sat, 13 Apr 2024 - 54min - 176 - Ep 162: “Product of USA”… Changes in Beef Labeling w Leo McDonnell
The USDA closed the loophole that requires IF a beef product CHOOSES to be labeled a "Product of the USA" it must be Born, Raised, Slaughtered, and Processed in the USA. Leo McDonnell is my guest as we get his take on this change. It's a topic he has been advocating for, for 25 years. And as we know Country of Origin Labeling has been a controversial issue in our industry for many years. So, what clicked… what was it in these latest changes that brought agreement amongst industry groups that have been at odds in the past on this issue? We’ll discuss that as well as his thoughts on the WTO, the results of the Consumer Survey on beef products, and why he believes this voluntary approach to Country-of-Origin Labeling could build cooperation in the industry. #workingranchmagazine #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #Gelbvieh #DiamondV #InheriteSelect #USCA #NCBA #BeefCheckOff #RCalf #TruthInLabeling

That’s basically the crux of our conversation today as Gage Zobell with the law firm of Dorsey & Whitney walks us through the multiple angles of this topic starting first with water and land use of our public lands. We’ll discuss how policy rather than legislation is now the norm when it comes to the rules and regulations we see in the country side. And we’ll discuss how climate initiatives are shaping policy with no realization to the consequences they’ll make on the production of the food and fiber in our country. #workingranchmagazine #workingranchnation #justinmills.wyocowboy #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #Gelbvieh #DiamondV #publiclands #BLM #ForestService #climate #waterrights

We can breed for efficiency, but that doesn’t make your cows efficient… they can only work with the resources that are available. Ted Perry, Director of Beef Technical Services with Purina joins us as we discuss the value of a mineral program in the nutrition of our cows that allows them to be efficient with the resources they have; whether that’s their feed, their environment, or their genetics. Should a mineral program be seasonal or annual and why? And the three “Abilities” of a mineral, those being Palatability, Bio-Availability, and Weatherability. #workingranchmagazine #workingranchnation #justinmills.wyocowboy #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #tanktoad #gelbvieh #vitalix #PerformanceBeef #LIP #vitalix #effeciency #purina #mineralprogram

Sat, 29 Jul 2023 - 54min - 141 - Ep 127: Did you know this… about Section 1031 (Property Exchange)?
Capital Gains Taxes… it’s a subject that is a part of the conversation in ranching families when there is a desire to divest of ranch land. And if the land is sold outright, it leaves the seller liable for Capital Gains Taxes. This is where Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code comes in. Dal Houston, attorney from Alva, OK is my as we go through the details of using a 1031… but even more than a way to defer capital gains, it can be an Investment Tool. Plus, the history and the future of cattle identification with AllFlex’s Austin Woltemath. #workingranchmagazine #workingranchnation #justinmills.wyocowboy #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #allflexna #inheritselect #zoetis #tanktoad #gelbvieh #animalid #1031 #investmenttool #capitalgains
Sat, 22 Jul 2023 - 54min - 140 - Ep 126: What Does the BQA Audit Say About Our Beef Industry?
In our primary education we had report cards. It was a method that could tell us if we were on track, where we were falling short, and monitored our progress. The BQA Audit serves in that capacity for our industry as it evolved out of an era over 30 years ago in which consumer demand was in the tank. So the industry took the bull by the horns (so to speak) and began issuing a BQA Audit every five years. Today we review the results of the latest audit. From the positives to the areas needing improvements, what is means to us as ranchers, and at the end of the day for the consumer. #workingranchmagazine #workingranchnation #justinmills.wyocowboy #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #allflexna #inheritselect #zoetis #tanktoad #gelbvieh #BeefCheckoff

Sat, 14 Jan 2023 - 53min - 102 - Ep 100: Why Junior Shouldn’t Come Back to the Ranch
Junior (son or daughter) aspires to take over the family ranch. Often it is, or becomes, a very contentious family issue first from the point of other siblings and then later the relationship with Mom and Dad. So, when is the time right for Junior to come back? Or maybe a bigger question, "Is what you are passing on a legitimate business or an expensive hobby?" Dallas Mount, CEO and Owner of Ranch Management Consultants joins me to provide insight as to what can be done to reduce or avoid major family malfunction in bringing Junior back? When should it occur? How should it occur? What’s Junior’s role in this and what’s the parent’s role in this? #workingranchmagazine #workingranchnation #justinmills.wyocowboy #ranchlife #ranching #dayweather #weather #agweather #beef #cows #livestock #cattle #zinpro #Availa4 #zoetisus #biozyme #gainsmart #PerformanceLivestockAnalytics #succession
