Descripción

Nothing frustrates ranchers more than seeing cows bunched up in the corner—and flies are usually to blame. In this episode of That Ranching Podcast, we break down the real cost of fly pressure, from lost weaning weights and lower milk production to reduced conception rates and overall herd stress. The truth? There’s no silver bullet for fly control—but there are smarter ways to manage it. We dive into practical strategies, including why repelling flies can be more effective than trying to eliminate them, and how improving cow comfort lets your herd get back to grazing, breeding, and performing. Plus, we explore how nutrition, immune health, and even natural ingredients play a role in keeping flies from becoming a full-blown problem. Bottom line: fewer stressed cows means better performance—and that starts with keeping flies in check.

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.

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.
