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.

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.

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! So on today’s episode, I’m going to reintroduce the cowboss and I as we share our story from the beginning. We did an interview last summer with our video producer and it captured our story so well. So this audio is from that video and it covers our history, challenges we’ve faced as first generation ranchers, and our passion and dream of creating a legacy for our son.

Episode 8- Impostor Syndrome: The Real Beef Deal
Impostor Syndrome..... Now you are probably wondering what the heck this has to do with beef? Maybe you have heard of this on the Gram or Facebook, but really it is exactly what the words state. It is being something that your NOT. And in the beef world, we have been faced with this in the form of The Impossible Burger or Beyond Beef Burger. Now whatever your status of meat lover or vegetarian connoisseur, as always I respect your choice. But this month we dive into what all this Impostor Meat is all about. The name may imply beef, but in fact, it is the farthest thing from it.
