  • 52 - FerAppease with Rodrigo Bicalho
    It is amazing how networking and visiting with people about cows works. It led me down a path of learning more about the product FerAppease. At the Canadian Beef Industry Conference in 2024 I was approached by some people wearing green shirts with a yellow cattle head outline, nothing like I had seen before. They asked if I would be interested in trying the product and giving them some feedback and maybe posting on my social media accounts. They struck my inner Ukrainian chord with a demo product. As I researched FerAppease I was very intrigued, after using it, I am a big time supporter. Having Rodrigo Bicalho, Founder/CEO of FERA Diagnostics and Biologicals, the man that initiated the research, trial data and growth of his business on the podcast talking about his product FerAppease was special. An inside look, and yall know me. I asked a few questions and made a couple statements. Highly versed in the science but understanding that it is word of mouth and results that market products, Rodrigo and his team have partnered with Kane Vet Supplies to distribute the product in Canada. There is a spot where even I make myself a little speechless as we talked about the usage and practical application throughout the calendar year with FerAppease, not just at weaning. Lots of info, easy to talk science and confidence in a new management tool available to Canadian producers 24hr/365 days. Thank you to Season 5 sponsors:Klassen Industries Bovigen Reproductive ServicesRK Animal SupplyAngus WorldF’d Up Farming PodcastThank y'all for listening.

  • 45 - Duncan Lees with Blair-Athol Polled Herefords
    Happy Canadian Western Agribition travel day everyone! I hope the wind is still and the roads are dry making it a fast trip with the trusty truck and trailer headed into Regina.  Hereford content inbound! It was a treat to visit with Duncan Lees. A man of great standing in his community, his beloved Hereford Breed and for that matter across the Canadian Beef business. Duncan has been dedicated to his family, their generational legacy within ranching, improving the Hereford breed and volunteering in the Hereford Breed and local community.  Duncan and Val Lees raised their 4 children outside of Arcola SK. Blair Athol Farms have been in the Hereford breed for over 100 years. The 6 generations of their family have been dedicated to always improving their breeding stock and the land they utilized. Herefords are in Duncan’s blood, his kids blood and now his grandkids blood! The Cattle industry afforded the Lee’s family numerous opportunities with travel, trade missions, quality stock and most importantly life long friendships.  Duncan’s dedication to building up youth and leading 4H or Junior Hereford projects has left a lasting impression on a generation of cattle men and women. When you ask others about Duncan you will hear it over and over that he is revered as one of the good ones, honest to the core and hard working.  Thank you to Season 4 sponsors: BoviGen Reproductive Services Klassen Industries  Angus World Thank y'all for listening.

  • 39 - Happy Fathers Day with my Dad, David Reid
    My dad is the best! If you have met him, I know you understand what I mean and why my family will all stand behind that. An amazing father figure growing up, dedicated to his family and always had a love for Hereford Cattle and people David set great examples for us. Plus, since turning 23 and getting married, he has become the smartest person I know, my siblings around those same time frames in their lives echo that comment. I am fortunate to work with him developing our cow herd, learning business, my family history and most importantly how to treat people the right way. His patience is unmatched. He is genuine and heartfelt. He is my dad, my best friend and my hero.  Thank you to Season 3 sponsors: BoviGen Reproductive Services Klassen Industries  Angus World Thank y'all for listening.

  • 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.  Thank you to Season 3 sponsors: BoviGen Reproductive Services Klassen Industries  Angus World Thank y'all for listening.
