Sustaining The Herd
Sustaining the Herd is a resource for all things related to sustainability in animal agriculture. We hope to deliver value to listeners by interviewing industry leaders as well as producers involved in sustainability projects. Every two weeks, we'll give a practical perspective on new technologies as well as new rules and regulations affecting the adoption of sustainability-related technologies such as anaerobic digestion and the production of renewable energy.

Cattle handling is more than chutes and alleys - it's all about moving cattle safely and efficiently. Join Andrew and Brock for Sustaining The Herd's 50th birthday as they sit down with their colleague Jake Mayer, a Professional Engineer at Settje Agri-Services and Engineering. Jake has designed many cattle handling facilities and doesn't hold back as he shares what works and what doesn't - along with some considerations to keep in mind when designing a facility. Put on your boots and grab an ear tagger as we go chute-side for Episode 50 of Sustaining The Herd!
