Working Cows - Regenerative Ranching to Maximize Profitability and Soil Health

Curtis Evelo, Grazier and Auto Body Repair, man joined me to talk about how he thinks about the process of starting over on a new piece of ground. We talk about his history of management, the challenges of leasing land, and the process they plan to work through in the work of regenerating their new piece of land.

David Neason is a horse trainer, day working cowboy, and dog observer. We talk about what it means to be a dog observer as well as how to communicate effectively with your working ranch dog.

Dylan Biggs, stockmanship educator and rancher from Alberta, joined me to talk about how to foster and maintain a healthy and productive bond with your working ranch dog. We talk about how to discipline and reprimand as well as the importance of teaching your dog “yes” and “no.”

In this episode I talk about the greatest asset we have to pass on. SPOILER ALERT: it’s not land, money, or genetics. I also chat about the lessons, some more painful than others, in my immediate families first season of making our own management decisions.
