Tall Bunch Grass

Tall, western bunch grass in the "bowl" located on the Wyoming Guest Ranch - this is a favorite spot for visitors on our tours. Our bunch grass is getting really tall. That is a good thing. If you've followed the Ranch and my ramblings for too long you might recall my stating that when the early Americans migrated west, they were astonished at the grasslands. Massive seas of ever waving grain, billowing up from each crest and descending into valleys. Grasses and natural grains of every kind, as ..read more

Crazy times, weird questions
SonRise Ranch Blog
by
4M ago
Rather frequently, I get asked some real off-the-wall questions. The kind that really make you think. Not so much about how to answer, but rather, why the question is being posed. What is the asker really concerned with?  I really don’t mind being asked probing questions – I just answer them.  But, in the back of my tiny, accidental rancher mind, I wonder… what is really going on inside this person’s head? Bear in mind most of these questions are once in a lifetime, oddball, one-off questions. But of late, I have seen more repetition of these than a random sampling, rendering them ..read more

The Economics of Beef - Intro
SonRise Ranch Blog
by
1y ago
We are inundated with it right now - financial news.  Bank failure, this.           Inflation, that.                    Unemployment, the other.  It seems like the subject is both ever-present and pervasive. Our financial system(s) are always teetering on something. Small moves by the Fed seem only to exasperate things. And each has a trade off - raise the rates and we get too much inflation, lower them and M2 goes thru the roof - what is a Jerome to do? Well, we won't tackle any of that today, or in t ..read more

Working with the DMV

As many of you know we have been very busy on our Wyoming Ranch preparing to start our own USDA processing facility on the Ranch.  This will allow us to process for sale our Beef in our own plant - thus eliminating nearly all of our quality control issues. If your not familiar with the process, we currently hire an outsourced USDA processor to harvest (kill), age, cut, wrap and package our beef under USDA inspection. This allows us to sell it to the public.  The catch is this - those folks spend all of about three weeks with what takes us almost three years to raise. With one lazy ..read more

The five "sweet peas" of Regen Ag

Interns are arriving this next week on our Ranch in Wyoming. This begins our busy season. Cows are out, chickens are in the fields and the piglets start hatching (not really - but you get the point).  This time is flat out hectic for us. We have to feed, house and teach these eager young learners, and we work hard to be sure all their educational needs are met. We've strived over the years to develop a syllabus that is both meaningful and educational.  It's really got to hit home - we want to leave a lasting impression. ​This year, we are teaching a new subject - the Zeedyk method ..read more

MRNA in Beef Cattle

In our next episode of "Meat the Rancher" we'll be discussing the latest trend in veterinary medicine - mRNA delivery of vaccines.  It seems like nary a 24 hours passes that I don't get an email on this subject from a concerned consumer. No, we don't use them, but I'd like to hold a discussion and Q & A on the subject and allow all of you to ask any questions you'd like on the subject.  The main reason this is a HOT Button topic is, well, everything is HOT Button right now. That, combined with the fact that lawmakers at the State level have proposed legislation that prohibits t ..read more

Raw Milk, Raw Butter, Raw Cream and Raw Nerves - Part 2

Our little survey results are in - evidently folks are bit passionate about this subject (see the Blog below this one "Raw Milk, Raw Butter, Raw Cream and Raw Nerves - Part 1")  By comparison, we launched into a similar subject, pre-2021 and it would have been more interesting to watch paint dry on a cold winter day.  But now... Wow, watch out! You folks are fired up! (the comments on the survey were amazing) I just cant think of a major world event that might have happened in the last few years that would change peoples opinions about their personal health - hmm... let me think ..read more

As many of you know, we recently acquired a Ranch in Wyoming - one of the most "food freedom" honoring states in the US. We have a guest facility there, perfect for the Carbon Vault school that teaches young, energetic Interns and students how Regen AG works.  You may also know, that the dying conventional milk industry is on life support. This is not a new thing as US dairies have been perishing for years now. It used to be a substantial industry, but with the Farm Crisis of the 80's (read Harvest of Rage, by Joel Dyer), the expansion of Government Subsides (yes, that actually hurts sm ..read more

Snow Grazing and Cold Weather work with Cows for Regeneration
SonRise Ranch Blog
by
1y ago
With all the snow stories lately - I thought I'd share some cattle wisdom with our readers. One of the toughest challenges Ranchers face is how to feed cattle during the winter months. Cattle were created to be natural wanderers, traversing great distances in search of food and water. In the past, during winter large herds would migrate from northern areas to the south in search of more favorable grazing conditions. This migration, combined with a rest period for the northern pastures, created a mutually beneficial cycle that allowed the soil to support more plants and resources for ..read more

Carbon Vault and the E2RP program

"Carbon and the who'd 'a whatty?" That's what I thought you'd ask.  Some of you might remember back to spring of 2022 - if our email's and announcements from the Ranch were not getting sent to your spam folder, you might have received a quick newsletter from us that spoke of a Government Funded Project we had applied for to help change agriculture for the future - it was called the Climate Smart Commodities Grant. We asked for letters of support, from you, our customers. Well, moral of the story is that we had proposed to change, in effect, the way America Ranched, from conventional to ..read more
