    Thank you for interviewing the Ohlde’s!
    Tim and Trudy have been iconically influential in shaping today’s easy-fleshing, maternal powerhouse, grass- based cattle genetics that really work. I’m very pleased with our OCC genetics, and I regret not having used them far sooner! Thank you for getting more of their story out to the public. They have been incredibly helpful to many breeding programs, both in the seedstock world and in the regenerative field, and their story is an important one for future generations to know. Thank you for the good listen!

    Great Listen!
    First time listener, first time reviewer. We really enjoyed the Karl Palmberg conversation. So much so, we are ordering from him this week!! The quote of the episode: “Steakhouse quality yet healthy enough to be considered medicine.” Whom wouldn’t want a steak like that? ◡̈ Well done. 5 Stars.

    Audio Quality
    Very interested in the topics and hearing from the guests, but can’t hear the guests’ audio very well on the two episodes I listened to. Also, the host seems bored or disinterested with the guests and not very engaged. Hear lots of yawning and background noise from the host.

    Graeme Finn
    I really enjoyed the last episode with Australian-Canadian Graeme Finn. He’s might be one of the most interesting guests you’ve had. I can’t wait to hear him again after he returns from Mongolia.

    Always thought engaging
    Be interested to hear more about the rye grazing in the spring. Interesting to hear about the different forages and how they can fit into different scenarios. Would be interesting to hear more about Cactus Feeders and what they are doing with forage grazing on irrigated pivots
