| 8/29/26 |  Ep 264: Building a Commercial Cow That Pays Her Way w/ Trey Patterson & John Maddux | What does the commercial cow that actually pays her way look like? Trey Patterson (Padlock Ranch) and John Maddox (Maddux Cattle Company) join us to discuss building a cow for the long haul—balancing fertility, genetics, management and production without losing sight of profitability. We’ll look at why maximizing performance isn’t always the answer, the value of heterosis, and how to build a cow that fits your environment and your operation. #WorkingRanchRadioShow #CommercialCattle #CowCalf #BeefCattle #Ranching #CattleGenetics #Heterosis #CowHerd #BeefProduction #RanchManagement #CattleProducers #CommercialCow #RanchProfitability #BeefIndustry | 54m 13s | ||||||
| 8/15/26 |  Ep 263: Cattle Markets: Still Defying Gravity w/ Trent Stewart | Coming off the Video Royale sale in Winnemucca, where does the cattle market stand as we head toward the fall calf run? This week, Superior Livestock’s Trent Stewart looks at what the summer sales are telling us, what buyers are paying for, and how weight, delivery date and rising feed costs could impact marketing decisions. Plus, why he says this market is still “defying gravity” and why 2028 may be the year to watch. #WorkingRanchRadioShow #CattleMarket #CattlePrices #BeefCattle #CowCalf #FeederCattle #SuperiorLivestock #VideoRoyale #CattleMarketing #Ranching #BeefIndustry #LivestockMarketing | 54m 12s | ||||||
| 8/8/26 |  Ep 262: Should She Stay? Rethinking Cull Cow Decisions w/ Dr. Ron Gill | Should today's record cattle market change the way you make culling decisions? This week, Texas A&M's Dr. Ron Gill discusses which culling principles should never change, where the current market may justify a different approach, and the traits that lead to a more profitable, longer-lasting cow herd. Plus, in a lightning round of real-world scenarios, Dr. Gill weighs in on which cows stay, which ones go, and why. Also, Don Day explains why this El Niño may have more in common with weather patterns from the 1950s than more recent El Niño events—and what that could mean for our long-range outlook. #WorkingRanchRadio #CowCalf #BeefCattle #Ranching #CullCows #CowHerd #HerdManagement #CommercialCattle #CowLongevity #CattleManagement #ReplacementHeifers #BeefIndustry #RanchLife #Profitability #TexasAgriLife | 54m 12s | ||||||
| 8/1/26 |  Ep 261: Data Centers: What Rural America Needs to Know w/ Tony Pipa | Data centers are becoming a bigger part of the conversation across rural America, but what do they actually mean for the communities where they're built? Tony Pipa with the Brooking Institution is our guest as we discuss what's driving the rapid growth in data centers, the opportunities they may bring, and the legitimate concerns surrounding water, power, land, jobs and long-term economic impacts. We also look at what rural communities should be asking before making decisions that could shape their future for decades. #DataCenters #RuralAmerica #ArtificialIntelligence #RuralDevelopment #Agriculture #Ranching #Energy #WaterResources #EconomicDevelopment #WorkingRanchRadioShow | 54m 13s | ||||||

| 1/24/26 |  Ep 241: When Emotion Meets Discipline in the Cow Herd w/ John Maddux | Today we sit down with Nebraska rancher John Maddux of Maddux Cattle Company to talk about business decisions that often matter most — and are sometimes the hardest to make. John shares how a disciplined financial mindset has shaped their operation over generations, including how they evaluate cows as assets, balance emotion with economics, and make long-term decisions designed to keep the ranch viable. We also dig into replacement strategy, heifer development, and how managing appreciation and depreciation in the cow herd plays into overall profitability. It’s a thoughtful conversation on ranch management, financial focus, and what it takes to build an operation that lasts. Plus we'll talk about their upcoming "Maternalizer" Mature Bred Cow Herd Dispersal Sale. Then, a visit with Ted Perry (Purina) about how we need to evaluate our mineral program throughout the year. #WorkingRanchRadio #workingranchmagazine #ranching #ranchlife #CattleManagement #RanchProfitability | 54m 00s | ||||||
| 1/17/26 |  Ep 240: Are Your Replacement Genetics Holding Your Herd’s Profitability Hostage w/ Jared Boardman | Are we leaving money on the table with our breeding decisions? This week Wyoming rancher Jared Boardman (Wishbone Simmental) joins us for a business-minded conversation on cattle genetics and breeding decisions in today’s market. We step back and take a hard look at how many commercial producers select genetics based on the small percentage of replacement heifers they keep each year, while the majority of the calf crop is sold. Jared explains why that approach can leave money on the table and how thinking in terms of output, inputs, and profit can reshape breeding strategies. We also discuss terminal versus maternal focus, the technologies available in the industry that provide producers with more options, and how disciplined decision-making can help align genetics with how cattle operations actually make money. Also, a conversation with Dan Leo (Apex Cattle) on Heterosis and their upcoming Production Sale. #WorkingRanchRadio #WorkingRanchMagazine #Ranching #RanchLife #Cattle #BeefCattle #CowCalf #CattleManagement #CattleGenetics #BeefProduction #RanchProfitability #RanchEconomics #Cattlemen #Limousin #Gelbvieh #CalfCatcher #Ambrook #Schaff #SAV #Livestock #AgPodcast #Heterosis #APEX | 54m 00s | ||||||
