Livestock Risk Protection has carried a bad reputation for years, often built on misinformation, outdated assumptions, and overly complicated explanations. In this episode, Lauren is joined by Samantha Cozza-Wright to break LRP down at a practical, producer-first level. From what LRP actually is to how it settles, how weights and timing work, and why flexibility is one of its biggest strengths, this conversation strips away the noise and focuses on how producers can realistically use LRP as a risk

2026/02/03

Labor is no longer a short-term headache in agriculture. It’s a structural, generational problem that touches every segment of food production. In this episode, Lauren sits down with Marty to unpack why farms and ranches across the country are struggling to find help, how rural communities lost their pre-trained workforce, and why the labor issue can’t be solved by band-aids or waiting for someone else to fix it. From shrinking farm families and rural brain drain to the responsibility producers must

2026/02/02

Lauren sits down with Chase Markel, a PhD researcher at the University of Wyoming, to unpack one of the most overlooked efficiency drains in the beef industry: bovine congestive heart failure. From brisket disease at high elevation to subclinical heart failure in feedlot cattle, this episode breaks down what’s actually happening inside the animal, why many cases go unnoticed, and how emerging AI tools are changing the way the industry measures health, efficiency, and loss. Chase explains how machine

Cold weather, light receipts, and strong prices set the tone for this episode as Lauren Moylan sits down with John Campbell for a wide-ranging conversation that blends market reality with industry tension. From stocker and feeder prices across Colorado and Kansas to cow sales that stayed surprisingly strong despite snow and cold, the cattle market continues to defy expectations. The conversation then shifts beyond price into harder topics. Protest culture, firearms responsibility, immigration

Cold weather, uneven trade, and tight supplies continue to define the cattle market as the industry moves deeper into winter. In this episode, Lauren is joined by Dan Gerhold and Samantha Cozza-Wright to break down what last week’s weather disruptions actually did to cash trade, why feeder markets feel choppy, and what February demand realistically looks like. From cattle on feed data to heifer retention, imports, exports, and the role of the U.S. dollar, this conversation cuts through the noise to

252: Cows Work for Us, Not the Other Way Around

CattleUSA Daily ·

2026/01/28

There’s a phrase in ranching that sounds noble, hardworking, and respectable: the cows come first. And while the intention behind it is good, somewhere along the way it quietly turned into a belief that ranchers exist to serve their cattle. In this solo episode, Lauren challenges that mindset head-on and makes the case for something many ranchers feel but rarely say out loud. The cows are not the boss. When cattle stop working for the ranch and start running it, burnout, inefficiency, and resentment

CattleUSA Daily ·

2026/01/27

Dan Leahy breaks down what most ranch “apprenticeships” are missing: a written plan, a weekly cadence, and honest accountability. He walks through the Foundation for Ranch Management apprenticeship workbook page by page, explaining how ranches can map their annual ranch cycle, build a multi-year skill pathway, and run the entire program off a simple Friday meeting. The big theme is clarity. Apprentices shouldn’t be guessing what “good” looks like, and mentors shouldn’t be training in chaos with no

Lauren sits down with Gary Lezak for a winter weather check-in as Colorado experiences one of the most extreme snow droughts on record. They break down what’s happening in the atmosphere right now, why storm systems keep missing key regions, and how the recurring weather pattern helps identify risk windows months in advance. From winter storm threats in Texas to early signals for drought and summer heat, this episode focuses on how producers can think ahead instead of reacting late.LinksWeather

Lauren is back with John Campbell for another rapid-fire cattle industry rundown, covering what’s moving markets and what’s just loud noise. They talk sale barn tone, winter weather pressure, Canada putting a pause on new animal ID regulations, Colorado pausing wolf reintroduction after federal pushback, and the chaos sparked by Texas Ag Commissioner Sid Miller’s screwworm comments that whiplashed futures without changing a single real-world fact.

Beef doesn’t end at the rail. It ends in a box. Brianna Buseman from Marble breaks down what “pack-off” actually is, why it’s one of the most repetitive and labor-heavy parts of a beef plant, and how Marble uses conveyor systems plus computer vision to identify cuts, track product tied to plant programs, and help plants move boxed beef out the door with more consistency and less chaos. She also gets honest about the hard part in food processing: it’s not just building tech, it’s building tech that

2026/01/20

Lauren and Emma break down how nutrition messaging around beef went off the rails and why it still matters to cattle producers today. They talk through how past dietary guidelines and food scoring systems elevated ultra-processed foods while pushing beef to the bottom, how convenience culture and lack of food education fueled that shift, and why consumers became disconnected from protein quality altogether. The conversation stays grounded in what was actually said in the transcript: misinformation

2026/01/16

John opens with a strong market week and even stronger prices on lightweight calves, then the episode turns into a blunt reality check on Canada’s new cattle traceability rules. The core issue is not tagging cattle. It’s the expectation that producers log every movement, location, and ID detail within seven days, even in real-world ranch scenarios where premise IDs don’t exist, cattle are commingled, and logistics change mid-haul. John lays out why the policy reads clean on a PowerPoint but

CattleUSA Daily ·

2026/01/15

Lauren challenges one of the most common phrases in agriculture: “we’re just hanging on until the kids take over.” While that mindset often comes from grit, sacrifice, and deep love for the land, this episode draws a hard line between perseverance and deferred collapse. Lauren unpacks why survival alone is not a succession plan, what the next generation is really inheriting beyond land and cattle, and why intentional sustainability matters more than endurance at all costs.LinksNominate or request to

Lauren sits down with Dan and Samantha for a no-nonsense cattle market check-in as January gets underway. Cash markets are strong, grazing cattle and replacements are on fire, and futures finally made a move higher. But beneath the rally are high feedlot break-evens, questionable government data, grain market frustration, and real risks tied to packer leverage, imports, and policy decisions.

2026/01/13

Most producers can tell you cow count, rainfall, and how much hay is left. But the operations that stay broke even in good markets usually miss the same thing: they aren’t watching the right financial numbers often enough. This episode breaks down three metrics you should track monthly, not at tax time, because monthly numbers warn you while you can still fix it. Lauren covers cost per cow, breakeven per calf, and operating profit margin, plus the simple monthly habit that gives you visibility

Lauren and Emma kick off the year by getting brutally practical about herd rebuild decisions and the real economics behind keeping heifers. With cattle prices strong but input costs still climbing, this episode breaks down why “just keep more heifers” is not a strategy unless it pencils. They talk retention vs. buying bred females, breeding windows and lost dollars, why culling the bottom end matters more in a hot market, and how record keeping (even if it’s simple) is what separates a sustainable

Lauren and John open the year with a strong market update across multiple regions, highlighting higher prices, aggressive demand for bigger feeder cattle, and notable shifts in how buyers are using grass this time of year. From there, the conversation pivots to methane emissions and why cattle continue to be blamed despite decades of data showing their impact is minimal. John breaks down where the methane narrative came from, what the science actually says, and why producers keep paying the price
