    Melanie Guthrie - Guthrie’s International Trainers & Breeders

    🐕 WESTERN AG LIFE — ON LOCATION! 🐕 Today, Western Ag Life is on location in East Tucson at Melanie Guthrie’s canine training facility for a fascinating conversation about dogs, training, breeding, and the special role they play in our lives. Melanie brings a lifetime of experience training, handling, and breeding protection dogs to our conversation. Her expertise has taken her well beyond Arizona, as she has trained and sold protection dogs to clients around the world, building a reputation through years of experience and dedication to her craft. We talk about Melanie’s upbringing, how she first got involved with training and handling dogs, and the experiences that shaped her approach and philosophy. We also get her thoughts on working with protection animals and what it takes to develop the relationship, trust, discipline, and understanding between a dog and its handler. But perhaps most importantly, we talk about something that goes beyond training, breeding, or protection. To Melanie, these dogs aren’t simply working animals—they are lifelong members of our families. ❤️🐾 It’s another great Western Ag Life conversation about experience, dedication, and the people who have made their passion part of the Western lifestyle. 🎙️ Listen, watch, and share this week’s Western Ag Life Podcast! #WesternAgLife #WesternLifestyle #ProtectionDogs #DogTraining #WorkingDogs #CanineTraining #DogBreeding #WorkingAnimals #AgriculturalLifestyle #Arizona #EastTucson #WesternAg

    Jace Thompson - 2026 World Livestock Auctioneers Champion

    🏆 THE WORLD CHAMPION JOINS US ON WESTERN AG LIFE! 🏆 Today on the Western Ag Life Podcast, we’re proud to welcome back Jace Thompson — the 2026 World Livestock Auctioneer Champion! Jace has been a guest on the podcast before, but this visit is especially special as we celebrate his incredible victory at the World Livestock Auctioneer Championship in St. Onge, South Dakota, this past June. We talk about what it means to earn one of the highest honors in livestock auctioneering, his journey to the championship, and the remarkable Thompson family legacy in the livestock industry. We also talk about Jace’s accomplishments in competitive auctioneering, his pursuit of excellence, and what the future may hold for a young man who has already accomplished so much. But perhaps the most impressive thing about Jace isn’t just his talent behind the microphone—it’s his humility, work ethic, and genuine passion for the livestock industry. At only 24 years old, Jace has already established himself as one of the premier young auctioneers in the business. Now, as World Champion, he has an opportunity to use that platform to promote livestock marketing, agriculture, and the opportunities available to the next generation. We know Jace Thompson is going to be an ambassador for this industry for many years to come, and we’re proud to have him back on the Western Ag Life Podcast. 🎙️ Don’t miss this great conversation with the 2026 World Livestock Auctioneer Champion!
