   Raising the Steaks: From the Ground Up: How We Raise Calves—and Our Daughters

   Welcome to Raising the Steaks, a special series within the Steak Bites podcast that takes you behind the scenes at Colorado Craft Beef. We answer your questions, unpack industry shifts, and dive into the real issues shaping our food, health, and the future of American ranching. No fluff—just raw insight, expert takes, and an honest look at what it really takes to raise high-quality beef from pasture to plate. In this episode, Jay Knight interviews Colorado Craft Beef co-founder Kara Smith for a deep look at spring branding, animal health, and raising cattle the right way—from the ground up. Kara shares how branding isn’t just a regulatory requirement, but a meaningful tradition rooted in low-stress livestock handling, generational legacy, and a tight-knit ranching community. As the conversation unfolds, Kara draws powerful parallels between raising calves and raising children—highlighting how both require planning, care, and working with nature, not against it. She explains how seasonal cycles, colostrum, and vaccines all play key roles in setting cattle up for lifelong health, and how the rhythms of the land guide everything from breeding to nutrition. The episode closes with Kara’s honest take on raising daughters in wide-open ranch country—teaching independence, resilience, and responsibility in a landscape full of both beauty and risk. Whether you’re a beef lover, a parent, or someone curious about where your food really comes from, this episode offers a grounded, transparent look at the life behind the brand.
