    The Road to Rural Veterinary Medicine with Richard Prather

    We’ve all been there: the wee hours of a morning where your breath fogs the air, watching over a cow struggling to calve or a calf that isn’t sure it wants to remain in the land of the living.  Those moments can feel pretty isolating, but if you’ve got a rural large animal veterinarian a phone call away they are masters at putting fears to rest and offering a knowledgeable hand in often less-than-ideal situations.  Our November print edition of the Angus Beef Bulletin focuses on relationships and we would be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge the relationships cattlemen maintain with their large animal veterinarians. On this episode, we’re joined by longtime rural veterinarian and Dean of the Oklahoma State University College of Veterinary Medicine Richard Prather to discuss how cattlemen can build a relationship grounded in trust with their veterinarian, the challenges associated with increasing the number of large animal practitioners, and more.  Additional Resources: Managing the Effects of Wildlife on Livestock with Rosslyn BiggsRancher's Thursday Lunchtime SeriesOklahoma State University Names New Dean of the College of Veterinary MedicineOSU Receives Historic $250 Million Investment to Build World Class Veterinary Teaching HospitalSubscribe to the Angus Beef Bulletin EXTRAHave questions or comments?

    Finding Foundation Females with Tiner, Tolbert and Tuckwiller

    As an editorial team, the Angus Beef Bulletin staff, field editors, columnists and various other communicators conduct a bundle of interviews each year. While typically those interviews are used to craft the feature stories and columns you see as a finished product in either the Angus Beef Bulletin or the Angus Beef Bulletin EXTRA, on this episode we’re pulling back the curtain to share interviews from one September 2026 Angus Beef Bulletin story titled, “A Rock Solid Foundation,” as well as an additional interview from Radale Tiner. Our September print edition focuses on females and data management, includes the Female Foundations special advertising section, information on commercial programs, Angus Convention and much more. We invite you to join in the conversation as we catch American Angus Association Regional Managers Tiner, Alex Tolbert and Reese Tuckwiller on the road to explore how to select females who will pull their weight in your herd.

    New World Screwworm Update with Jennifer Koziol

    While many farmers and ranchers had hoped New World screwworm (NWS) would stay well south of the U.S.-Mexico border, we’re now all aware that wasn’t in the cards for American cattlemen. With a few days to let that news sink in behind us, our attention turns to one question: Now what? Right off the bat we want to share something USDA, APHIS and the Texas Animal Health Commission have already stated: A) No one needs to panic. There is a plan in place, and we know how to eradicate this pest. B) NWS is an animal health issue, not a food safety issue. Meat remains safe to eat, and treated and inspected cattle can continue to move from affected areas. Tracking potential spread within the U.S., how to protect our herds and what the near future might look like for cattle movement in affected areas are top of mind. To help our listeners navigate this new information, Angus Beef Bulletin associate editor Lynsey McAnally was joined by Jennifer Koziol, associate professor of food animal medicine and surgery at Texas Tech University on the morning of Tues., June 9, to discuss recent announcements and what cattlemen need to keep in mind for the near future related to NWS.
