Stop Treating Heat Stress. Start Preventing It. | #21 | THAT RANCHING PODCAST

Most producers reach for a quick fix when they see heat stress — but in today's episode, we discuss why that's the wrong move. Trevor, Twain, and Daryl break down why heat stress is really a rumen and circulation problem, not just a temperature problem. When cows go off feed, everything unravels: milk production drops, calf weaning weights suffer, and breeding performance tanks. The guys walk through how keeping cows eating, and improving blood flow through vasodilation, is the foundation of a cool, productive cow — and how that translates directly to dollars at weaning. A 20-year philosophy, not a seasonal gimmick.

The Real Cost Of Cheap Summer Minerals | #20 | THAT RANCHING PODCAST

What does "cheapening up" in the summer actually cost you? In this episode of That Ranching Podcast, Twain Manning and Darryl Paskewitz dig into why summer is the most critical — and most underestimated — season for ranch profitability. The cows look good, the grass is green, and it's tempting to coast. But the decisions you make right now are setting up your entire year-end. The hard truth? A $5–10K cut in your summer mineral program could quietly cost you $30–40K in results you never see coming. If you're thinking about cutting input costs this summer, listen to this episode first. Summer's when you make your money. Don't coast through it.

What Would You Do With 20% More Grass? | #19 | THAT RANCHING PODCAST

What if you could increase your carrying capacity by 20% without buying more land? In this episode of That Ranching Podcast, Trevor Greenfield, Daryl Paskewitz, and Twain break down one of the biggest profit levers most ranchers overlook: forage efficiency. Most producers focus on weaning weights and conception rates — and those matter — but the real question is: What’s the limiting factor in your operation? The guys discuss - Increasing carrying capacity - Running more cows on the same acres - Feed and forage efficiency - Drought resilience - Riomax and Rhyzogreen results If you could pull 20 more calves off the same land base… what would that mean for your ranch?

Your Calves Look Healthy, But They're Not. | #18 | THAT RANCHING PODCAST

What causes foot rot, pink eye, pneumonia, and summer sickness in cattle? In this episode of That Ranching Podcast, Trevor Greenfield and Daryl Paskewitz break down the hidden nutritional deficiencies behind herd health problems — and why treating sick calves is only part of the cost. The scary part? For every calf you treat, there could be seven more subclinical and underperforming. 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. Healthy herds don’t happen by accident.

Feeding the Bugs That Feed the Cow | #17 | THAT RANCHING PODCAST

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.
