Jim Matheson, Executive Director of the National Bison Association, took a few moments to speak with us during the Buffalo and the Bison loadouts (No, we’re just being goofy – both are now accepted in common speech, as you’ll hear). We don’t know if he knows Ted Turner, but he does know his marketing stuff, and is a great representative of this wild and wooly breed of livestock. They might seem like the new kids on the block in the world of protein, but they’ve been on this contin...

There were many exciting things at this year’s National Western Stock Show, but one of the highlights was the group meeting up on the side pens of the Event Center. The Bison people were there in force, and the critters they came with stole the show, even if it was 25 degrees and snowing. Especially since it was that cold, because in the frigid air the already impressive and feisty beasts were breathing out steam from their nostrils like something out of The Hobbit. Today, ...

We’re back from the National Western Stock Show, and we thought we’d exit January with mules (no…backside-of-things jokes today, though it was tempting). Mules are some of our favorite animals, and not just because they have names like “50 Shades of Foxy.” The aptly-named Foxy and her owner Tabitha Holland of Signature Equine take a moment to bring 50% horse, 50% donkey and 120% of gorgeous muleness out of the stall to speak with us about the combinations that make life wonderful....

Today, we’re speaking with Christy, who is an old friend of mine. This podcast came into being, because last October, Christy and her son Luke met up with us in Rhinebeck for the New York State Sheep and Wool festival. On one of the evenings when we lifted our tired feet off the floor, we had a conversation about taxes and accounting, as often happens, and it migrated into the joys of the Schedule F – Farm Income, and went from there. I hope today’s content is a little bit interesting e...

Well as you might know (or maybe not), Elara does let me get out on my own every once in a while. This past Fall, my brother and I went on a cross country road trip from San Diego, CA to Rhinebeck, NY. We were headed back to New York to film the NY Sate Sheep and Wool Festival and I thought it would be great to do a brothers road trip. My brother has not gotten to see much of the west and so I wanted him to see some of this great country's sites. There are many that we visited from Yell...

The New York State Sheep & Wool Festival was just last month, and it’s Thanksgiving already. We’ve got a podcast for you from the wild and wooly, festive and colorful event. If you’re in a work truck or jeans ad with all of those good looking farm people tossing bales of hay around, you might get the impression that anyone who produces food or fiber in America is…well, pretty vanilla. And considering how many of our ag products are an amalgamation of cultures and people...
