Second Cutting is a documentary-style podcast from South Louisiana about land, cattle, and the people who keep both alive. Host Amelia Cronan (systems + storytelling) sits down with Dr. Shannon Gonsoulin (rancher, veterinarian) to translate the real work behind food: seasons and weather, grazing decisions, animal care, land-use pressure, and the community networks that make a place last. This isn’t farm aesthetic or marketing gloss. It’s clear, grounded conversations about how land becomes animals, animals become food, and why that chain matters—now more than ever.

  1. Where the Story Begins: Land, Lineage, Meaning

    Where the Story Begins: Land, Lineage, Meaning

    Episode 1 starts at the root: land and legacy. Amelia Cronan sits down with Dr. Shannon Gonsoulin to talk about how cattle production stayed in the family, how land use is changing across South Louisiana, and why “rooftops vs pasture” is more than a development story—it’s a food story. This episode sets the season’s through-line: when you can’t control the weather, you build systems that can take hits—and those decisions ripple all the way to the dinner table.

  2. Reading the Season

    الحلقة ٢

    Reading the Season

    Episode 2 is Back to Basics: how you read the season on the ranch and make decisions around what the land can actually produce. Amelia Cronan and Dr. Shannon Gonsoulin break down the fall-to-winter transition—why ryegrass is the winter plan, what the “45-day” timeline to grazing means, and why a long-awaited rain can create its own set of problems: mud, ruts, and costly hay bridges. This episode turns the ranch calendar into plain language: watch the ground, watch the grass, and plan around constraints.

  3. The Land Remembers

    الحلقة ٣

    The Land Remembers

    In Episode 3 of Second Cutting, Amelia Cronin sits down with veterinarian and rancher Shannon Gonsoulin to talk about what responsibility actually means when life depends on you. Not just raising animals—but knowing when it’s time to stop intervening. The conversation moves through the quiet distinctions most people never have to name out loud: pet versus food animal, empathy versus sentiment, care versus prolonging suffering. Shannon explains how veterinarians make end-of-life decisions using observation, data points, and quality of life—rather than fear. This episode is about mercy without romance, compassion without denial, and the reality that not making a decision is still a decision. If you’ve ever loved an animal, worked the land, or had to choose when “enough” is enough—this one is for you.
