38 - World Simmental Form and Bruce Holmquist
I've always associated Bruce Holmquist with just being everywhere! It seems like no matter the event or gathering, he is sure to be there. It was great to hear from him about the World Simmental Fleckvieh Conference and how he will be a part of two of these events in Canada. A wonderful accomplishment for the Simmental breed as a whole on the world stage highlighting Canadian Seed Stock.
Bruce’s list of organizational affiliation and board activity is very long and impressive. I sure appreciate him talking to us about those positions and how some opportunities came around. I also think him highlighting some of the sacrifices along the way is important too.
It is clear that the Simmental breed and Agribition hold a special place in Bruce’s heart. He has dedicated most of his adult life to being a part of the industry and working to leave it better for the next members or exhibitors to come.

36 - Wilbar Cattle - INC Cattle Co - Cay's Cattle - Serhienko Cattle Co
This episode is all about celebrating the accomplishment of Canadians having success with breeding cattle in the show ring in Canada and the United States! Each of the three parts were fun to record as the stories of winners and their contributions to programs I truly find hard to resist. From finding or breeding one to following it though to achieve the biggest dreams, its what we all chase.
Wilbar Cattle
Bryan and Tracey take us through their time with Conley Southpoint 8362. Their decision to purchase through showing and then now seeing the rewards of their efforts. I will always cheer for cattle to not only win in the show ring but to work in the real world where livelihoods are made on breeding decisions and quality cattle.
INC Cattle Co
A sweep of the first ever American National Speckle Park Show with Champion Female and Champion Bull. Born and raised, that feeling of knowing they are special, seeing your dreams playout and knowing your efforts and work even in the crappiest of moments all built up to this!
Cay’s Cattle/Serhineko Cattle Co
SVY Mayfield 30H. Registration number 1 million in the AICA. Multiple times Grand Champion in 2022 in Edmonton and at Agribition. The Supreme Champion bull at Agribition. Denver National Champion. His first American semen offering selling in its entirety to one breeder for $140,000USD. It is interesting hearing both side. Finding the right one, breeding that one. Working on him, the team effort it takes. Putting an animal of that caliber in the right place at the right time with the max effort to look the right way.
Congratulations to all of my guests on this episode on their achievements.

35 - Robbert Ballantyne & Diamond B Ranches
When I had the idea to have Robert Ballantyne on the podcast I reached out to several mutual acquaintances and received back a pile of information and questions to ask. Every person I talked to was excited about what would come from this interview, I felt the pressure to make it happen. Good thing Robert is such a great guy to visit with and really knocked it out of the park.
I wanted to keep this interview to release at Agribition as it is such a special event and place for Robert. He built a career and lifestyle, memories and a brand at Canadian Western Agribition. Robert’s selfless contributions to CWA helped to build its international report and widen its audience.
Diamond B was at the most elite level of Galloway Cattle across the globe and the Ballentyne’s goal was to just keep getting better every chance they could. I will listen back on this interview a lot driving down the road or doing chores. The knowledge and genuine nature of Robert is captivating. His advice is second to none and his love for the Canadian Cattle Industry is alive as ever.
A closing remark from a close friend of mine after telling him Mr Ballantyne was going to be my Agribition release, “He is a damn good human. They don't make them better than Robert.” It is a fact that the Lifestock Podcast audience will enjoy this one.

34 - Chad Ross L-7 Land & Cattle
The fall is here, chill in the air and snow in the forecast. I love this time of year.
Chad Ross from L-7 Land and Cattle joined me on this episode to talk about cows. Chad has been active in the industry from day one. I had even forgotten about him working in the Semen industry until we visited more about it.
I think Chad’s perspective is unique as he has lived in the purebred world and then built his program with commercial cattle roots. In the episode we only scratched the surface talking about cows and family. I've always admired Chad’s dedication to board activity and being an influential member of the Canadian Beef business. Chad is on these boards and spends his time serving to make a difference, that's something we all should admire.
Enjoy our conversation!

Kurtis Reid Is A Monster In His Podcasting Field!
Those of us in the podcasting Gabe call kurtis the pod father. His episodes are educational, crisp, and worthwhile. I hope that one day he will do a tutorial or historical episode on what brought him to the level of butt kicking that he has ascended to.
