    60 Sick Feedyard Calves, 1 Fix, 55 Survived | #24 | THAT RANCHING PODCAST

    There's an old truth in this business: a calf never gets over a good start. You hear it from old-timers, you hear it from vets, and you hear it again in this conversation with two Riomax dealers who are living it every day; one running cattle through a stocker operation in Northwest Oklahoma, the other backgrounding high-risk calves out of the sale barn in Edna, Texas. These aren't easy calves. Four or five days off the truck before you ever see them, no ear markings, no mineral program, digestion mixed up from the stress of the ring. And by the time you notice something's wrong, you're already behind. We talk about what's actually changed in calf health over the last few years — why the industry's answer keeps being a bigger, more expensive antibiotic instead of getting ahead of the problem. We talk about gut health, and why the real fight isn't at intake, it's two to five weeks in, when the stress catches up with them. And we talk about a sixty-head sick pen that everybody had written off and what happened when they didn't give up on it. There's also a six-year-old who explains the whole thing better than most do. You'll know it when you hear it. If you're buying calves out of a sale barn, running cattle through a backgrounding program, or just trying to keep your retreat numbers down and your margin up, sit down and listen to this one. In this episode: What's changed with incoming calf health, and why "just use a bigger gun" isn't working anymore The preventative approach that's cutting individual treatment numbers Why gut health is the real battleground in week two through five A sick pen nobody thought would come back — and the numbers on what did Why calves are gaining better than two pounds a day faster right out of the gate Riomax dealers: Jared Pachner (Northwest Oklahoma) and Robert Martin (Edna, Texas) Learn more at riomax.net New episodes of That Ranching Podcast every week.

    You've Got the Genetics, Now Let Them Work. | #22 | THAT RANCHING PODCAST

    Can you really add 100 pounds to your calf weights at weaning? Daryl, Trevor, and Twain sit down to dig into the real numbers behind weaning weight gains — and lay out exactly what it takes to get there. They break down the two biggest drivers: rumen health and reproduction timing. When a cow digests better, she produces more milk — and higher quality milk, with up to 15% more butterfat going straight to the calf. When that same efficiency carries into the calf as it starts grazing, it compounds fast. Pair that with a tighter breeding window and calves conceived just one cycle earlier can hit the scale 60 pounds heavier by weaning day. They also take aim at creep feeding — why packing fat onto calves before weaning can actually work against you at the feedlot, and what frame growth looks like instead. Most ranches already have the genetics. This episode is about removing the roadblocks so those calves can finally show it.

    Stop Treating Heat Stress. Start Preventing It. | #21 | THAT RANCHING PODCAST

    Most producers reach for a quick fix when they see heat stress — but in today's episode, we discuss why that's the wrong move. Trevor, Twain, and Daryl break down why heat stress is really a rumen and circulation problem, not just a temperature problem. When cows go off feed, everything unravels: milk production drops, calf weaning weights suffer, and breeding performance tanks. The guys walk through how keeping cows eating, and improving blood flow through vasodilation, is the foundation of a cool, productive cow — and how that translates directly to dollars at weaning. A 20-year philosophy, not a seasonal gimmick.

    The Real Cost Of Cheap Summer Minerals | #20 | THAT RANCHING PODCAST

    What does "cheapening up" in the summer actually cost you? In this episode of That Ranching Podcast, Twain Manning and Darryl Paskewitz dig into why summer is the most critical — and most underestimated — season for ranch profitability. The cows look good, the grass is green, and it's tempting to coast. But the decisions you make right now are setting up your entire year-end. The hard truth? A $5–10K cut in your summer mineral program could quietly cost you $30–40K in results you never see coming. If you're thinking about cutting input costs this summer, listen to this episode first. Summer's when you make your money. Don't coast through it.

    What Would You Do With 20% More Grass? | #19 | THAT RANCHING PODCAST

    What if you could increase your carrying capacity by 20% without buying more land? In this episode of That Ranching Podcast, Trevor Greenfield, Daryl Paskewitz, and Twain break down one of the biggest profit levers most ranchers overlook: forage efficiency. Most producers focus on weaning weights and conception rates — and those matter — but the real question is: What’s the limiting factor in your operation? The guys discuss - Increasing carrying capacity - Running more cows on the same acres - Feed and forage efficiency - Drought resilience - Riomax and Rhyzogreen results If you could pull 20 more calves off the same land base… what would that mean for your ranch?

    Your Calves Look Healthy, But They're Not. | #18 | THAT RANCHING PODCAST

    What causes foot rot, pink eye, pneumonia, and summer sickness in cattle? In this episode of That Ranching Podcast, Trevor Greenfield and Daryl Paskewitz break down the hidden nutritional deficiencies behind herd health problems — and why treating sick calves is only part of the cost. The scary part? For every calf you treat, there could be seven more subclinical and underperforming. They dive into: Summer pneumonia & immune health Foot rot and pink eye prevention Why mineral deficiencies matter The hidden performance loss most ranchers never see Bioavailable minerals vs cheap mineral programs How Riomax helps cattle perform from the inside out This episode is all about prevention, performance, and giving cattle the best chance to thrive all summer long. Healthy herds don’t happen by accident.

    Feeding the Bugs That Feed the Cow | #17 | THAT RANCHING PODCAST

    What if the key to a more profitable ranch starts underground? In this episode of That Ranching Podcast, Daryl Paskewitz and Twain Manning break down the connection between soil health, rumen health, and ranch profitability. The same microbes that help cows unlock nutrients in the rumen also play a massive role in unlocking nutrients in the soil. Healthier soil can mean better forage production, improved grazing efficiency, and lower feed costs. In this episode, we discuss: How Riomax users report 15–30% forage savings Why soil biology impacts pasture and hay production The connection between healthy soil and healthy cattle Rio Nutrition’s Q50 mission for improving ranch efficiency Practical ways ranchers can increase profitability naturally If you're interested in cattle nutrition, grazing management, soil health, and ranch profitability, this episode is for you.
