I am impressed with this interview, her actual knowledge of the company and what sounds like her true experience. As a small backgrounder corporate yards are part of the reason I’ve got a place in the industry, small operations and large operations, can both operate in the same marketplace
12 cuttings is awesome, cause with the good weather down there its year round growing. And alfalfa is cut every 28 days or so, and because no harsh winters and very little frost it makes for the perfect crop to grow.
There used to be a 100000 head lot east of Scott’s bluff Nebraska Monsanto owned. It was located in a small town Minatare Nebraska , it also has a small yard that is still there, my father managed it for a small time in the 70s . My father had interviewed with Jerry Monfort and my mom worked at a Monfort pork plant in Iowa, that was eventually sold to JBS
I agree with that, just driving by on the highway, it looks like there could be some upgrades made. Looks like turning in & out of there with a truck due to high traffic volume would be a pain also.
Am retired now, but back a ways I fed cattle, 5-600 a year in Minnesota. Now that I have to buy my meat at the store........it does not hold a candle for quality and taste of what I fed. Always bought western Dakotas cattle. Where does the meat,like I used to raise, end up? , because it ain't finding its way to our local stores! .Ron
This whole "feed the world" non sense needs to go away because what's really happening is these CAFO's are killing the world. Feed your neighbor, not the world.
Don’t be a hater! They employ several people, and that ALWAYS good for small towns. Be grateful they are there buying from the locals and supporting local businesses.
Big farming is better for rural America then having outside city folks coming in with all their money just for them to come in and change how everyone lives to suit there ways and wants. Its better than land developers coming in with non-stop building just for them to rape people with high land prices and oversized homes only the rich can afford which eventually pushes out the local people and takes away rural farm land.
Why would you want this? Think of how many small farmers you put out of business. There’s no way you can properly care for that many animals. Plus all the manure you are putting on fields that’s don’t need it because you dont want to pay the trucking costs. I will keep raising my on beef thanks on my own little farm. I am not driven by greed.
Thanks for all you do. They support a bunch of small farmers around their feedlots by buying cattle, corn, hay, etc. We hope you check out some of the other podcast guests I think you will like them if not, thanks for watching and have a great year.
Wonderful. It lends to the story my dad used to tell, "We raise our cattle so they only have one bad day in their whole life". Great interview.
Thanks for watching!
Great interview. She’s a great person for telling the story
Thanks for tuning in!

Thank you for feeding the world!
Great interview, great spokesperson, she is definitely passionate about feeding cattle.
She is a great spokesperson!
@HumbleGroundAg indeed! Great interview! Really enjoyed it seemed it was really short even though it was a good length interview. I learned a lot!
Thanks for taking the time! Check out our other ones and new ones come out every other Thursday!
@HumbleGroundAg Definitely!!!!!
Loved this episode! Great work Tim!
Thanks for watching!

Great spokeswoman for US beef!
Very well spoken!
I’ve been to Harris Ranch in Coalinnga, CA. Stayed at the company hotel. Ate at the company restaurant. Cool outfit, big time feeders.
Will check it out next time I’m in that part of the country!
Another great episode 🎉
Appreciate the support sir!

We haul corn into Kuner every day. I wish they'd decide to take some pride in their grain handling facility.
Seems like a good way to not worry about having to haul corn into there anymore.
I agree with that, just driving by on the highway, it looks like there could be some upgrades made. Looks like turning in & out of there with a truck due to high traffic volume would be a pain also.
Great interview.
Wow very interesting here farshure!
good show. quite interesting.
Thank you! Check out some of the others and we have a lot of great ones scheduled for 2025.
I was at John Wayne's farm in Springerville Arizona, that was in the seventies, does that still exist?
I’m not sure will check into it!
@@HumbleGroundAg yes it does but it’s all Holsteins now no beef
At 19:55 she says they ship chronically sick animals. What are these sick animals used for? Is that what they use in pet food or something?
I believe pet food and ungraded beef products. They do their best to not waste beef.
No mention of the growth hormones that are not used
It takes a lot of what ever your doing to make any profit now . Feedlots employ lots of people directly and indirectly.
What is your average mortality across all lots?
I believe she said .28% company wide, it is later in the episode.
.28-.3
Where do all the manure go?
They compost most of it and when we were there quite a few folks buy it to use on their fields as fertilizer.

What would Kenny Monfort say😢
It would take 375,009 acres of corn annually to supply you boys.
Quite a few acres for sure.

Big farming is not good for small town rural American
Small rural farms can not compete, ask the Amish.
Small farms can’t feed an entire county much less an entire country and I say that as a small farmer

@halhudson4009 so focus on feeding your neighbors. This whole feeding the world notion is nonsense.
