• 57 - Part 1 - Canadian Livestock Judging Mini Series

  A mashup that hits close to home for me! This mini series to close out Season 5 is all about Livestock Judging as a Canadian in the USA. This is a big time passion for me as I was fortunate to compete on several judging teams and earn scholarships towards my tuition. It was one of the best experiences of my life and helped sharpen my skills and talents expending far outside of winning a judging contest. Plus I made friends that are like family and got to see America through the windshield of a 15 passenger van. My Sr College coach used to tell us, it’s not about being a judger, it’s about becoming a better stockman. I have this broken into 6 parts with different guests. I had planned on maybe a 3 parter but as per usual, I talked way too much. The guests: Part 1 - Jack OattesPart 2 - Riley LafrentzPart 3 - Tyson HertzPart 4 - Lance LeachmanPart 5 - Riley LeesonPart 6 - Codee Kopelchuk This was a treat to put together with some outstanding people in the business. A little bit of looking back and a little bit of the current situation, a great mix of perspectives and insight from all the guests. Thank you to Season 5 sponsors:Klassen Industries Bovigen Reproductive ServicesRK Animal SupplyAngus WorldF’d Up Farming PodcastThank y'all for listening.

• 56 - Lifestock Services of Saskatchewan with Jason Pollock

  An episode where we talk about something new in the cattle business! Well… maybe not new new, but I don't think lots know about the new regulations coming into effect and changes in the Livestock Services of Saskatchewan itself. Before becoming an SSGA board member I did not know much about the LSS other than brand inspection services. Now, I heard about the new ideas and regulations coming down the line frequently and how we can do a better job in communicating these to everyday producers. These are not changes that should scare you, they are fairly straight forward and fit into the current management technologies that are being used on your ranch today, your cell phone. The MyLifestock.ca platform could really advance how we utilize digital submission of manifests and help brand inspection processes. It is all on your phone anyhow, now you just don't have to scribble in the lines and let it self populate the repetitive information and organize the data. Cowboys swore they would never need cell phones, cowboys swore they would never need to learn how to text, cowboys swear they will now and forever fill in a paper manifest with a pen… Thank you to Season 5 sponsors:Klassen Industries Bovigen Reproductive ServicesRK Animal SupplyAngus WorldF’d Up Farming PodcastThank y'all for listening.

• 55 - Howard Crittenden, Crittenden Land and Cattle

  If you’re in the Hereford Breed, Howard is no stranger. I have personal stories that could run longer than the podcast itself. Howard has helped my family along with countless others to not only source and breed with better genetics but to understand the breed, being a breeder and how to be a reputable operation. We have been so fortunate to have Howard as a mentor in this amazing breed. Howard, Sharon and their family invite you to their dispersal sale on December 20th at the farm, Imperial SK. The entire Crittenden Land and Cattle herd will be on offer with embryos and semen too. This is an opportunity, plain and simple. If you’re interested in entering the breed, growing your herd, learning more about the breed, this is an opportunity you need to take advantage of. Multiple Donors sell, cow families with 3-4 generations and the herd bulls. Crittenden’s have been synonyms with quality herd bulls from day 1. I tell people all the time that Howard is on my Mount Rushmore of mentors. Thank you to Season 5 sponsors:Klassen Industries Bovigen Reproductive ServicesRK Animal SupplyAngus WorldF’d Up Farming PodcastThank y'all for listening. Please leave us a 5 star rating and review on your favorite app. I would like to dedicate this episode to Edmund Williams. I could never thank the Williams family and Ed for all they did helping us through 4H and teaching us how to be cattlemen. I will always be grateful for yall sharing your home with me and taking me to check cows in that ole maroon chevy half tonne, that I smashed the back window out with the quad that one time going through the ditch. Another one of my Mt Rushmore mentors, Ed Williams. You’ll be missed. Kurtis ReidContact us:[email protected] @LifestockPodInstagram @LifestockPodTwitter @LifestockPod

• 54 - Ashley Perepelkin with Perepelkin Farms

  We have made it to the promised land. We have our first promo code of the podcast thanks to Ashely and her PF Tallow- Perepelkin Farms business! Go to https://perepelkinfarms.square.site/ and on check out use the code Lifestock10! I met Ashely at a Beef Industry conference in Saskatoon. We visited about cows and kids and the fun of the business. I found her story fascinating and knew it would make a great episode. Not raised in the beef business, wanting to get in, buy cattle. The journey was not a straight path. Lots of bumps and turns in the road. Ashley built her own network of people that wanted to help her and kept growing from there. Not just growing the cow herd but her family, experience and entrepreneurial spirit. Now as a purebred Simmental breeder her brand has expanded even further with a farm to fork beef business and her tallow business. Integrating online shopping and tradeshows along the way Ashely has let her business footprint grow slowly and sustainably. Another detour on her journey is incoming with a Major Back surgery and herd reduction. She was so open and honest about this, it gives great insight and appreciation to being flexible in our planning and confident in our mentality. Remember Lifestock Pod Fam, hit that promo code Lifestock10. Buy yourself some Whipped Tallow Lotion, chap stick, citronella tallow balm and so much more. Great for gifts too when your getting 10% off! Thank you to Season 5 sponsors:Klassen Industries Bovigen Reproductive ServicesRK Animal SupplyAngus WorldF’d Up Farming PodcastThank y'all for listening.

• 53 - Breeding with Intentionality

  This is an episode with a good friend of mine Greg Gillis. Greg and his family operate 7th Valley Ranch raising purebred Angus and commercial cattle. His wife also has a farm to fork beef business called Rose Valley Beef. Plus along with raising their family, increasing their grain farming acres the Gillis’ are going to partner up with good friends to host their first annual bull sale March 21st, 2026 in Swift Current SK. Greg and I met a while back just via the cattle world. We hit it off and have remained good friends. We always joke that we don’t raise the same breed but we had similar roadblocks along the way to navigate in developing our herds and reputations. Greg used to work off the farm, traveling in the pick up going to see customers. We would visit between stops about family and cattle. Continually bouncing ideas back and forth, knowing that we didn't have the same breed specific knowledge but we each wanted to find success on our own terms. This is very unscripted and a little peek into what a conversation or two between Greg and I are like when we find ourselves with a little wind shield time or looking to a friend to spitball a few ideas. I hope you as listeners might think it would be good to bounce a few ideas with a friend more often. It's a great way to vocalize an idea, check yourself a bit and build lasting friendships. Thank you to Season 5 sponsors:Klassen Industries Bovigen Reproductive ServicesRK Animal SupplyAngus WorldF’d Up Farming PodcastThank y'all for listening.
