    13. How New Emission Laws Are Affecting The Trucking Industry with Steve Grandinetti

    On today’s episode, we have a special guest, Steve Grandinetti. Steve is our cow haul driver and I thought it’d be super interesting to hear from someone in the trucking industry and how legislation is affecting them. Specifically, the financial strain of maintaining compliance with state regulations, the high costs of fuel, and the slim profit margins in cattle hauling. The episode emphasizes the interconnectedness of industries and the impact of regulations on the cost of goods.   Connect with Jessica: Check out our website Follow me on Instagram @2aranchwife Order some 2A Beef and some 2A Beef Merch   Be sure to subscribe/follow the show so you never miss an episode!

    12. Real Talk with a Consumer

    On today’s episode, we’re doing something a little different. We have Bailey Holloway as a guest on the show to ask me questions from her perspective as a consumer. Bailey owns Emerald Honey Photography and Half Baked Homestead (the sourdough bread that comes in our beef boxes!). Bailey asks me questions and I share my answers about a wide variety of topics, including transitioning from ag education to ranching, the intricacies of running a ranching business with my husband, our decision to pursue direct-to-consumer sales, the unpredictability of ranching, and misconceptions about animal welfare. We also dive into motherhood, the role of faith in our lives, and goals.    Connect with Jessica: Check out our website Follow me on Instagram @2aranchwife Order some 2A Beef and some 2A Beef Merch   Connect with Bailey: Follow her on Instagram @emeraldhoneyphoto Check out her website   Be sure to subscribe/follow the show so you never miss an episode!

    11. Product Labels: Is it really made in the USA?

    On today’s episode, we’re talking about the important topic of product labels. Specifically, labels on beef and knowing where your beef comes from. Understanding what the different labels mean and the new legislation and its impact on the beef industry and consumers. Ultimately, buying your beef directly from a farm or ranch will provide you the most awareness and transparency.

    9. Let's Get To Know Each Other Again

    Welcome back to Confessions From The 2A Ranch Wife! It’s been a few years since we’ve released an episode, so I figured why not kick off 2024 getting back into the swing of podcasting!
