Today we take a closer look at Eminent Domain and what it means for landowners. Tiffany Dowell Lashmet, agricultural law specialist with Texas A&M University, joins us to walk through the basics of eminent domain, where the authority comes from, some of the common truths and misconceptions, and the practical steps landowners should—and shouldn’t—take if they find themselves facing it.

Plus, as we head into fly season, we shift gears to a challenge every producer deals with—horn flies. How much are they really costing your operation, and why does timing matter when it comes to control? We look at the economic impact and how to stay ahead of the problem before it shows up. #AltosidIGR #CentralLifeSciences

Kentucky 31 fescue—for some it’s tolerated, for others it’s hated. This week, Dr. Harley Naumann with the University of Missouri joins us to talk about how to manage Kentucky 31 fescue and make it work in a year-round grazing system. From avoiding toxicity to stocking rate, forage diversity, and matching cattle to available feed, the focus is on building a system that works—not just for ranchers in the fescue belt, but for operations everywhere. Plus, we look at the latest data on preconditioning calves and where it’s adding value in today’s market.

What does it look like to shift irrigated pivot ground from crop production to grazing livestock? On today’s episode, Race King with the Matador Ranch joins us to share how their operation approached that transition. With over 20 years of experience, we discuss what led them to explore grazing under pivots, the steps they took to implement it, and the results they’ve seen over time. From labor and infrastructure to soil health and long-term economics, we explore whether this approach can work in other parts of the country—and how it performs across different market conditions. Plus, we take a look at a different approach to fly control using a bolus-based delivery system that provides up to 195 days of coverage—reducing reliance on mineral intake and/or tags.
