The Power of Producer Profiles with The American Cattlemen Podcast

The Power of Producer Profiles with The American Cattlemen Podcast

By Jessica Graham

In today’s fast-paced world, podcasts have emerged as one of the most effective ways to learn and share information almost instantly. Within the cattle industry, podcasts offer a unique platform for sharing knowledge, promoting livestock, and fostering community. One of the most significant advantages of podcasts is their accessibility. Unlike traditional media, podcasts can be listened to on-demand, at the listener’s convenience. This flexibility allows cattle producers and industry professionals to consume information at their own pace, whether they are driving, working, or relaxing.

Find the Right Genetics
Fall is a prime season for cattle sales, with a wide variety of offerings, including fall-bred heifers, bulls, and select cows. Many producers capitalize on this opportunity to add to their genetics. However, the abundance of choices can make it overwhelming to research and select the right genetics, especially when considering the limited window of sales.

To address this challenge, we’ve developed the “Producer Profile” podcasts on our American Cattlemen podcast platform. These podcasts give us a sneak peak into the diverse range of cattle producers and their operations.

By listening to these profiles, you can gain a deeper understanding of different breeding philosophies, herd management practices, and the specific genetics being offered.

By listening to a few episodes of your choosing, you can make an informed decisions about your cattle purchases. Instead of relying solely on written descriptions or limited online resources, “Producer Profile” podcasts offer a more comprehensive and personal perspective. You can hear directly from the producers themselves about their cattle’s strengths, weaknesses, and suitability for various production systems.

In addition to helping you identify potential genetics, these podcasts can also introduce you to new and emerging producers. By building relationships with producers in the industry, you can expand your network and stay informed about upcoming sales and opportunities.

Effectively Market Your Cattle
Producer Profile podcasts offer a cost-effective and efficient way to reach a vast audience. Unlike traditional advertising channels, this allows producers to share their message with a global audience at a fraction of the cost.

We’ve seen the benefits from small family farms to big ranches. By leveraging the power of podcasts, cattle producers can effectively market their livestock to a wider audience. Instead of relying solely on one-on-one interactions with potential buyers, they can reach an infinite number of people through a single podcast episode. This is particularly advantageous for producers who have a premium product to offer, as podcasts provide a platform to showcase the unique qualities and benefits of their livestock.

As cattlemen, we care about the cattle, the quality, and have pride in our hard work. However, when it comes to marketing, that is a whole different obstacle. You may have some of the best genetics, or best services, but are unable to grow because well, other cattlemen haven’t heard your story. So tell it! Instantly share with the world a little about yourself, your cattle, and the premium services you have.

Podcasts have become an indispensable tool for sharing information and promoting livestock within the cattle industry. Their accessibility, personal connection, and cost-effectiveness make them a valuable asset for producers seeking to reach a wider audience and market their premium products. By embracing the power of podcasts, cattle producers can stay ahead of the curve and position themselves for success in today’s competitive market.

So, as you navigate the bustling fall cattle market, remember the value of the “Producer Profile” podcasts. By listening to these informative resources, you can make more confident and strategic decisions about your cattle purchases and ensure the long-term success of your operation.

American Cattlemen interviews Two Bitch Bourbon founders

American Cattlemen interviews Two Bitch Bourbon founders

By Jessica Graham

On our episode “News, Country Music and Bourbon, Wow What a Combo! Two Bitch Bourbon Feature Interview!” we speak with guests are Joe and Lauren Luby. They’re the founders of Two Bitch Spirits out of Eureka Nevada. They share their origin story with us. Listen to the full podcast on your favorite platform to hear the whole story in their own words.

“We are the true mom-and-pop type business in the liquor industry here. We’re big dog lovers and we’ve always loved whiskey. For over a decade now, we we’ve been throwing annual whiskey parties,” says Joe.
Lauren goes on to elaborate, “We would just invite friends over to the house and we had a bar that we built to that we call the Louie Saloon. People would come over and bring whatever kind of whiskey they found at the liquor store and we would all give it a taste and just have a good time.”

The path to Two Bitch Bourbon and its name has a journey of heartache and joy. Lauren and Joe Luby talk about the naming of their company. Originally, they had 2 dogs, and Lauren’s dog disappeared into the desert, never to be seen again, a truly heart-breaking loss. While scouring the internet for any sign or photo of Lauren’s lost dog, they fell in love with a pair of pups abandoned in the desert. They brought the dogs home and incorporated them into the founding name: Two Bitch Spirits. For the annual party, Lauren designed an invite with the puppies.

“I did a mockup invitation we came up with the name ‘Two Bitch Bourbon’ and came up with a logo mockup invitation. You can see that on our on our website under our story. People thought it was a real product when they received the invitation and they came to the party saying: ‘I was looking for that Two Bitch at the local liquor store and I couldn’t find it anywhere,” Lauren explains. She goes on to say, “I think that’s where a lot of the encouragement came from. We needed to start this brand.”

You’ll have to listen to the whole podcast to paint a vivid picture of their story, their dogs, and their journey of their business. Two Bitch Spirits Ltd. is a family owned and operated liquor company headquartered in Eureka, Nevada. Go to our podcast on www.americancattlemen.com and you will find a promo code for the bourbon. They have several different varieties, so be sure to lean more on their website: www.twobitchspirits.com/.

Exploring the Cattle Industry with The American Cattlemen Podcast

Exploring the Cattle Industry with The American Cattlemen Podcast

By Jessica Graham

Podcasts offer a wealth of information and opportunities for cattle producers, fitting conveniently into their busy schedules. On the American Cattlemen Podcast, we interview experienced producers and it’s almost like you’re standing next to them listening in on a conversation. “We interview, producers, manufactures, vets, but we also interview entertainers,” host Gale McKinney states. Some of the previous entertainers include: Nashville based singer-songwriter Hayley Payne, Ned LeDoux, Roxi Copeland, and singer, actor, model and cowboy R.W. Hampton.

Current News
One of the primary benefits to listening to The American Cattlemen Podcast is the community connection with news and events. One of the events covered is the wildfires in the southern USA impacting cattle producers. First and foremost, our hearts and prayers go out for all, especially the firefighters, farmers and ranchers effected by the wildfires in Texas and Oklahoma. We know over a million acres have been decimated, homes and ranches destroyed, and cattle operations have been ripped apart. We continue to support and pray for Texas and Oklahoma during this time. Other current news regarding current events, include cattle inventory projections, and the ag economy are discussed as well.

We also cover cattle conventions, like The National Cattlemen Beef Association (NCBA) annual conference. The NCBA Cattle Con, is the oldest and largest event for the cattle industry in the United States. We know it’s not feasible for you to attend every year, so we have you covered. As the leader in cattle news, we attend The NCBA Trade Show. This year, it offered attendees the chance to explore the newest equipment, technology, pharmaceuticals, and feed supplements for cattlemen.

Key Benefits of Producer Profiles
Our Producer Profiles focus on ranches located across the nation. You can learn about their unique history and current dynamics on their ranch. It’s always interesting to share and learn key success factors other cattlemen have uncovered, especially when it comes to marketing and capturing a premium on your quality cattle. By incorporating The American Cattlemen Podcasts into your routine, you will gain valuable knowledge, improve your operation, and stay ahead of the curve in the ever-evolving agricultural industry.

The American Cattlemen Podcast wanted to inform and educate on a broad level, but we also want to connect people with people. According to Gale McKinney, owner, producer, and host of The American Cattlemen Podcast, we thought “Why can’t we interview these producers, talk to them about their sales, talk to them about their families, and bring that out to other producers? That has been a joy. I love doing that,” says Gale McKinney. Gale has the pleasure of getting to connect with cattle producers across the US. He learns about what makes their story, their operation unique and delves into some secrets uncovered. “I just interviewed a young man that just started about 10 years ago, he wasn’t even in the industry and now he has 400 head of cattle,” says Gale. Because of the vision for cattlemen to learn from and about each other, the producer profiles have taken off.

Industry Influencers: Shorty’s Caboy Hattery
Recently, we were able to interview Drake Jones, with Shorty’s Caboy Hattery, a USA company. Shorty started the business in 1990. She’s a former rodeo competitor and was inducted into the Cowgirl Hall of Fame. Shorty is one of the only female owned , started and operated hatteries in the USA. ”We’re a custom hattery. We measure your head, build a mold, and then build the hat around that mold.” Hats are manufactured in Oklahoma.

Sometimes we hear “I don’t want a good hat because I’d ruin it”, I often say “If you had a good hat, it’s a lot harder to ruin it,” says Drake. Shorty’s uses beaver pelts to make the highest quality hats. By listening to the podcast, it’s clear time and effort is poured out into every custom hat. Thank you Shorty’s Caboy Hattery for all you do!
