Adapting Management to the Environment Added to the Bottom Line
The country that consumes the border between central Arizona and New Mexico can be the unforgiving kind; rugged, dry, rocky. The semi-arid, semi-desert ecosystem with its wide annual temperature swings and uncertain rainfall can test rancher and cattle alike.
The Young and the Ambitious
Ty Keller is a cowman. Always has been. Growing up on a Nebraska Sandhills ranch as one of five kids, he always knew he wanted to be a rancher. Problem was, so did three of his siblings.
All it Takes is Time
Leslie Harrison initially resisted switching his cattle’s mineral supplement to Riomax® tubs, but by the end of 2023, he committed to using them on his 4,500-acre Hereford outfit in Oklahoma. Despite battling drought, Harrison observed improved cattle health and weight gain after just three months on Riomax, with reduced feed costs.
Premium Care For The Cattle Has An Interesting Impact On The Business Of This Ranch
There’s more to ranching than meets the eye. Out at the Gabrian Ranch in Red Lodge, Montana, they take cattle treatment seriously. Managing anywhere from 170 to 200 head at a time, their priority lies in caring for their cattle with compassion and consistent attention.
A Healthy Ecosystem the Diamond Cross Way
“There’s a lot more going on here than just cows.” That’s saying a lot, because the Diamond Cross Ranch, Birney, Montana, has a lot of cows. And a lot of acres for those cows and a host of wildlife to live on. Hear how Lane Larsen, the ranch’s general manager, is building a healthy, functioning ecosystem with an array of wildlife, cattle, and Riomax.
On The Go With Regenerative Ranching
If you want to catch one of the Maddocks, you’ll have to move fast. That’s because they don’t stay in one place very long – just like their cattle. Shane & Lindsay Maddock of Maddock, North Dakota use regenerative and holistic management practices on their ranch. The basic philosophy is to work in concert with nature.
Fifth-Generation Rancher and Farmer Turns to Riomax® to Help His Bottom Line
The cattle business is a business of relationships. Neighbors helping neighbors, people working together so everyone can be successful. That’s how Chuck Davis, a rancher and farmer from Ashdown, Arkansas, sees things. And that’s how he learned about the benefits of Riomax® and became a dealer as well as a customer of the orange tubs.
Taking Time to Do It Right
Jacob Tejral was at a trade show several years ago, killing time between speakers, when he started talking to a Riomax® dealer who had a booth. “So I started picking his brain about it and he had a lot of really good things to say.”
Then, the dealer grabbed some customers who walked by. “They gave me their testimony and it sounded like a pretty good deal.”
