That Ranching Podcast

You’ve spent years—maybe generations—building your herd and investing in top-tier genetics. But what if those genetics aren’t actually showing up where it counts?

In this episode of That Ranching Podcast, Twain, Trevor, and Daryl sit down around the kitchen table to talk about one of the most overlooked profit drivers in the cow-calf business: unlocking the genetic potential you already paid for.

Does improving your soil work the same way as improving your cattle’s digestion?

In this episode, we break down the science behind Rhyzogreen—how a simple foliar application feeds native soil microbes, unlocks tied-up nutrients, and drives real production gains. No added biology. No gimmicks. Just activating what’s already in your ground.

What is yeast or MOS—and what’s the real difference? In this quick episode, we break down how MOS works, and why Riomax takes it further with a full-spectrum yeast approach that supports gut health, digestion, and immune function—not just one piece of the puzzle.

Can better nutrition actually change what shows up in the milk pail — and on the scale at weaning?

In this episode of That Ranching Podcast, Trevor sits down with Daryl Paskewitz and Twain Manning to talk milk quality, milk quantity, and what it really means for cow-calf producers. From independent dairy trials showing increased milk fat and production, to real-world ranch feedback like “the bags look fuller,” they unpack how improved digestion and nutrient utilization can help cows do more with less.

The takeaway? When a cow can convert lower-quality forage into higher-quality milk — without sacrificing her own condition — you’re putting more pounds on calves and setting up a healthier, more efficient herd.

If 10% of your calves get scours, you’re not just fighting sickness — you’re losing pounds at weaning.

In this episode, Trevor, Daryl, and Twain break down the real cost of calf scours — from E. coli and coccidiosis to the lasting gut damage that leaves calves 20–50 pounds light at sale time. They unpack what’s happening inside the calf, why recovery doesn’t always mean full recovery, and how a multi-pronged approach with Riomax® can dramatically reduce scour pressure.

Fewer treatments. Healthier guts. Heavier checks.

If scours have ever hijacked your calving season, this one’s worth a listen.

In this episode of That Ranching Podcast, Trevor Greenfield and Daryl Paskewitz answer a practical question many producers have: how do you manage consumption of Riomax lick tubs? They explain how intake naturally varies depending on animal size, stage of production, and forage quality. A cow in late gestation or early lactation will have different nutritional demands than a dry cow, and consumption will reflect those needs.

They also address concerns around higher-than-expected intake, noting that it’s often a sign of mineral deficiencies or lower-quality feed rather than a problem with the tub itself. With real-world ranch examples, the conversation helps producers better interpret what intake patterns are telling them and manage tubs more strategically.
