    Playing with FIRE Ep. 40

    Just as every parent has their own parenting style, farmers and ranchers have their own unique way of doing things as well. There is no “one-size fits all.” We’ve explored many different practices through our conversations many of which are used in the Midwest. Today, we’re taking you to Oklahoma – where we look at some unique land management practices that are allowing you to enjoy some of the best beef products while keeping Mother Nature intact.  Fire is actually a tool used by the Gourleys. Adam and Blayr share their wildlife management background and raising cattle and kids on their Oklahoma Ranch. . .

    What do your favorite pair of jeans and stale donuts and a cows diet have in common? Ep. 38

    What do your favorite pair of jeans and stale donuts and a cows diet have in common? It’s the topic of discussion today as we continue to learn more during June Dairy Month -- it's less than a 10 min. episode. There’s a big myth out there that cows are taking food away from humans, but really they are making use of things that would could never eat or choose not to eat and would otherwise end up in the landfill. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again for the people in the back – “Cows are excellent UPCYCLERS!” In today’s conversation, you’ll be shocked to learn all of the things that are included in a cow’s diet. . . Tour Hinchley’s Dairy Farm in Cambridge, Wisconsin just like Amy! The farm milks about 240 cows throughout the day with the latest milking technology.

    The Miracle of Life on the Farm – Calving Season Ep. 36

    It’s spring time and that means babies on the farm! In today’s conversation, Brady Zuck, a beef producer from Northern Wisconsin, is back to talk about the miracle of life (you can catch our previous conversation - Cows: More than meat and milk Ep. 12). Right now on his farm, he’s getting about 15+ calves a day – let’s just say it’s keeping him very busy. He explains how this process compares to human pregnancy and birth, the recordkeeping farmers use to make sure you’re getting the best quality and consistency in your favorite beef products and just how quickly these new little babies will be up and walking after birth – it’s truly just minutes. . . Amy HERE - Calving season is truly my favorite time of year of the farm.  I have so many wonderful memories growing up on my family’s beef farm in Northern Indiana. I can also say now that I’m a mom myself, I have a new appreciation for what these animals can do. I’m so excited to take you on this journey today! . . May is Beef Month and as it comes to a close we look ahead to June which is Dairy Month. Throughout the month of June, we will be taking you to dairy farms and exploring how all of our favorite dairy products make it to our grocery store shelves.   We’ll even explore some fun facts about your favorite products.  You can see more of this by following along in our extended conversations on social media.
