Podcast Overview

Most show families figure it out the hard way. They ask around, get partial answers, and fill in the rest on their own. Logan Newsom and Sam Silvers have been in the show industry long enough to have made most of those mistakes themselves — and they're sharing that wisdom with you. Drench Line is a podcast about sheep, goats, and everything that comes with life in the show world. When to vaccinate. How to pick your animal. What to expect at your first major show. What nobody standing on the sidelines will actually tell you. New episodes drop twice a month, and they don't sugarcoat a thing. Logan and Sam have been friends since they were teenagers working summers at a sheep ranch in Eden, Texas. Now they're both show dads raising their own families in world they grew up in. This show is their way of passing it on — not just to their kids, but to every family that's new to this and looking for someone to shoot straight. Coming soon! Drench Line is just getting started. Coming soon: voice memo questions answered on air, and guests who have genuinely shaped the show world — the breeders, stockmen, and industry figures whose names you already know. If there's someone you want to hear from, send your request to www.drenchline.com. Be part of the conversation! This show is built around the questions real families are asking. Got something you can't get a straight answer on? Submit your question at www.drenchline.com and it might just get answered on the next episode. Logan and Sam want to hear from you — that's not a throwaway line, it's the whole point.

Life in the Show Barn: Raider McPhaul & Quentin Cox Talk Sheep, Goats, Girls & Growing Up in Ag

<p>We're back with our second episode recorded post-golf tournament at Lajitas Golf and Resort outside Terlingua, Texas — bug spray in hand, Badlands Margaritas nearby, and zero notes prepared. Sam Silvers and Logan Newsom traded their usual listener-question-and-answer deep dives for a raw and real, no-notice interview with two young leaders in the show sheep and goat industry: Raider McPhaul of Big Lake, and Quentin Cox out of Fredericksburg. </p><p>Raider and Quentin get put on the spot with a rapid-fire mix of sheep-related and just-for-fun questions — future plans in the industry, how they each learned to show, the hardest part of showing sheep and goats, track vs. treadmill, favorite show and sale, and the products and judges they trust most. There's also a candid check-in on their love lives, a Texas Tech vs. Texas A&amp;M debate, all while Sam gets carried away by a Lajitas mosquito. </p><p>Subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.<br>Submit your questions at DrenchLine.com.<br>Read related posts on show sheep and show goat management at DrenchLine.com.</p>

Summer Show Livestock Management: New World Screwworm, Track Training & Keeping Them Cool

<p>Episode 6 of The Drench Line comes to you live from Lajitas Golf Resort in far west Texas — mosquitoes, heat, and all. Sam Silvers and Logan Newsom sat down between tee times to tackle what's been on every show livestock producer's mind lately: New World Screwworm.</p><p>They kick things off with a straightforward take — it's serious, it's manageable, and the worst thing you can do right now is nothing. Sam walks through what he's actually doing to protect Shep and Staton's show animals: logging every Dectomax treatment in a steno book — dates, dosages, and lot numbers — so he has documentation ready if USDA or Texas Animal Health Commission comes knocking. It's not required; it's just smart. If you're not keeping records right now, this episode will make you start.</p><p>From there, they break down what the show barn protocol looks like in real time: a Dectomax shot for freshly banded or recently castrated animals (good for roughly 21 days of protection), screw worm aerosol on any open wounds, and a watchful eye — especially on banded wethers, where the wound isn't always easy to spot at a glance. Logan also flags an often-overlooked area: fine wool sheep with busted or shelled horns. That wound at the base of the horn is exactly where problems can start.</p><p><br>The conversation shifts to the producer side, with Sam and Logan sharing how the screw worm situation has changed their flush and AI plans. Sam pushed his June flush back to July to get a solid protocol in place before putting ewes back on pasture. Logan breaks down what they've landed on: suture or staple every wound off the cart, hit it with Alu-Shield, spray with Dectomax, and hope that 21-day window carries you through.</p><p>They also dig into fly systems, the wound coat vs. Alu-Shield debate (Sam is a purple wound coat guy; Logan makes a case for the silver spray in AI scenarios), and when Co-Ral still earns a spot in the rotation.</p><p>Second half of the episode covers summer maintenance — what it looks like to keep show animals healthy, cool, and moving in the right direction without pushing too hard too early. Track introduction, treadmill training, halter breaking, stand training, and why waiting until you need conditioning is already too late.</p><p>Subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.

First Year Sheep Owner? Everything You Need to Know About Cocci, Heel Mites & Summer Care

<p>Episode 5 of The Drench Line comes to you live from the legendary Friday Night Fever — one of the premier show goat sales in the United States — held in the Sheep and Goat headquarters of the world in San Angelo, Texas. Sam Silvers and Logan Newsom dig into a deep mailbag of listener questions covering show sheep and goat health, management, and everything in between.</p><p>Listener Kristine kicked things off with a loaded first-year-sheep-owner question: vaccinations, cocci prevention, pen vs. pasture, companion animals, and what to do when an animal starts acting sick. Sam and Logan cover why a pen setup gives you better daily observation and handling, why a buddy animal reduces stress and improves outcomes, and how cocci management really works — fecal samples, a solid vet relationship, and the role of medicated feeds like those containing Rumensin or Decox.</p><p>Irene asked about heel mites — and got a quick rundown on how to identify them, plus treatment options: Dectomax or Ivomec injectable, Prolate Lintox, or Ivomec pour-on on the heels. For the full breakdown, go back to Episode 4.</p><p>Isaac asked two big ones: how to use Rumensin for coccidia prevention (answer: it's labeled for goats, off-label for sheep — get a vet script) and what to do when animals go off feed during a transition. Logan walks through the 75/25 blending strategy to ease that switch over 5–7 days without crashing their gut.</p><p>Leonard wanted the real talk on dewormer dosing — should you double it on goats? Sam and Logan break down why metabolism matters and why products like Safeguard, Ivomec, Valbazen, and Cydectin aren't all treated the same way.</p><p>Trace Titus asked about copper. Short answer: never for show sheep, required for goats. Logan also covers the mineral program he relies on with the Purify product.</p><p>The guys wrap with a real-talk segment on summer vacation planning with livestock — yes, you can take a trip. But you need a plan and someone trustworthy lined up before you leave.</p><p>Then, the big one: Kevin Mock, founder of Friday Night Fever, joins as the show's first-ever guest. He shares the origin story of the sale, what makes it different from every other sale out there, and his top three tips for show goat success.</p><p>Subscribe to The Drench Line on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube.
