330: Gray Wolves, Public Lands & Federal Grazing: What Producers Need to Know with Kaitlynn Glover

Beskrivelse

Today on the podcast, Lauren sits down with Kaitlynn Glover, Executive Director of the Public Lands Council and leader of natural resources policy at NCBA, to discuss two major issues impacting cattle country right now: public lands grazing and the fight to delist the gray wolf. She shares updates straight from Washington, D.C. on federal grazing policy, wildfire management, Endangered Species Act reform, recreation pressure on public lands, and the latest developments surrounding gray wolf delisting efforts. The conversation also dives into how federal land policies directly impact Western ranchers, what NCBA and PLC are focused on right now, and why producer engagement with lawmakers matters more than ever.

369: The Damage Wildfires Are Doing to Your Cattle with Dr. Juliana Ranches

Wildfires don't just threaten fences and pasture but they can have lasting impacts on cattle health, performance, and profitability long after the flames are gone.In this episode of the Cattle USA Daily Podcast, Lauren sits down with Dr. Juliana Ranches, Assistant Professor and Beef Extension Specialist at Oregon State University, to discuss groundbreaking research on how wildfire smoke affects cattle. Dr. Ranches explains what happens inside an animal's body during smoke exposure, why calves may gain less weight, and the practical steps producers can take before, during, and after wildfire season. The conversation also explores how virtual fencing is becoming an unexpected tool for wildfire preparedness and why proactive planning could save both cattle and livelihoods.
