There are many people saying out loud and in public that they would like to see global beef production greatly curtailed or even ended. Organizations like the World Economic Forum talk about ending the idea of private property. Then they elect Larry Fink of BlackRock, a company that is actively buying up private property. How do we engage in the fight to protect this way of life and the property necessary to continue in it. Shad Sullivan joins us to help us understand what is happening and how we can get involved to push back against those who would oppose our freedom to continue in this way of life.

My family joined me at the North Dakota Association of Soil Conservation Districts Annual Meeting to share their thoughts on their favorite (and least favorite) parts of ranching the way we do. We discuss the importance of recognizing the importance of having differing specific on our team. We also discuss the importance of allowing our employees to rest and the lessons we can learn from "The Head of Ranch Security." This was such a special opportunity to have my whole family on stage with me.

Shawn Freeland has been on quite a journey to get started as a first generation rancher. We discuss the role of grazing and paying attention to soil health in helping that journey succeed. We talk about getting started by buying 10 cows on a whim to pursuing a high input approach to putting his cows to work for him.

Ep. 431 Matt Stone – How to Find Your Ideal Customer

How do we pass on the faith to the next generation? God has entrusted us with tools that are simple. You might say ordinary. They are ordinary in that anyone can do them. They are extraordinary in that when we are faithful to deploy them God gives the increase to our efforts and more is accomplished through them than we could accomplish through any of our best laid plans. In this episode I share with you a sermon I recently preached at a men's breakfast at Bethel Church in Frontier, Saskatchewan.

Happy New Year! May God add His blessings to your endeavors in 2026!

The first thing we need to understand is what profit is. Then we need to know what profit is for. Once we have that vision in place we can maintain our motivation over the long hall for sustainable growth. Josh Kerpan joins us once again to talk about the steps to developing that vision as well as a new program he has launched to help people remain accountable to take action on the vision for our business.

The fundamental reality of our lives is a spiritual one. According to Ephesians we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers and the rulers of the darkness of this age, and against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places. As I have come to realize the role these battles were playing in my own life and how to fight in these battles my life has changed for the better. On this episode I share with you a talk I recently gave at Bethel Church's Fall Meetings in Frontier, Saskatchewan.

Merry Christmas! Thanks so much for tuning in throughout 2025. May God bring you Grace and Peace in 2026.

We answer these questions and more in this conversation with Shane Barber of Barber industries. We answer these questions by discussing the lessons Shane has learned in selling his Storage Drinker.
