Lauren breaks down eight pieces of advice that have shaped the way she thinks, works and leads, including protecting family relationships, making decisions for the business you want to build, staying curious, keeping ego out of important decisions and understanding the long-term value of a good reputation.

   427: Super El Niño Is NOT a Guarantee of a Wet Winter with Gary Lezak

   Super El Niño is developing, but that doesn’t automatically mean a wet winter or more snow for everyone. Gary Lezak joins Lauren today on the Cattle USA Daily Podcast to break down what this developing weather pattern actually means for producers across the Plains, Midwest and beyond. Gary explains why the LRC will be critical in determining where storm systems develop and when they arrive. He also looks at historical Super El Niño years, snowfall differences across the country, drought potential, first frost timing and why producers should wait for the new weather pattern to fully develop before drawing conclusions about the months ahead.

   426: The Cattle Industry Needs to Have Some Hard Conversations with Seth Pratt

   Today, Seth Pratt joins Lauren on the Cattle USA Daily Podcast to talk about what it really takes to build a ranch that can survive for generations. From working off the ranch and understanding opportunity cost to creating more stable revenue, using genomic and carcass data, and thinking differently about how we measure cattle, Seth challenges some of the traditional ways of doing business in agriculture. The conversation also gets into some of the harder questions facing the next generation, including access to capital, succession planning, profitability and what it actually takes to build a sustainable ranching business.
