The livestock industry is the chosen lifestyle for many rooted in agriculture, community, education, and passion. I hope you enjoy as much as I do the stories and lessons from industry leaders and truly great people. I love to hear the history and journey of industry mentors to better myself and help to pass those along to all that wish to listen. The Lifestock Podcast is for all that want to build their knowledge, fuel their passion of the business and help to develop an understanding of your own brand.
We are back! Sorry everyone, took a little summer break and missed August! Cant blame it on anything but the great weather and some sunshine at the lake.
Randy and Justin were great guests on the podcast. I've always enjoyed visiting with Randy just about cows and his thoughts. As I get older and more stubborn, it's people like the Jame’s that remind me that being flexible and accepting opportunity in all forms will get you there too. There are numerous paths to choose in life and being true to yourself brings you back to the same destination anyhow.
Justin and I bump into one another at lots of Agriculture Industry and Producer events in Saskatchewan. It usually ends up with me asking Justin 100 questions about Simmental cattle and the genetics they are choosing plus a few ‘why’s’ and ‘that makes sense’.
From building to selling and re-building, Dusty Rose Cattle Co is back at it, stronger than ever.

62 - Codiak Acres w/ Gary and Nancy Kiziak
How fortunate we are to have pivotal members of the Speckle Park breed, Gary and Nancy Kiziak on this episode! The Speckle Park Breed is ‘Canada’s own’, developed and registered in Western Canada before its genetics rapidly spread across the globe. The Kiziak’s helped the breed gain its registration status and acknowledgment in the purebred sector.
As breeders they are renowned for their genetics and constantly looking towards improvement and building relationships.
You can hear in the interview the passion they have for the cattle business and the breed. Their love of people and relationships. The pride in their work and brand. Their family.
