Episode Synopsis

The team delves into a widely discussed subject: embryo cooperator agreements. They talk about their own past and future agreements, emphasizing the vital role of clear communication and mutual commitment to success. Then, they answer a listener question on the decision to retain or sell bull calves and heifers in the current market climate. And it’s — confessional time — a story about sharing phone pictures of cattle that aren’t yours and posting them on social media.Mentioned in this Episode:MontanaRanchAngus.comFacebook @AngusUndergroundInstagram @AngusUndergroundContact [email protected] or call (406) 210-1366 if you are interested in becoming a sponsor for Angus Underground.GeneBrokers.com Quotes:“I'll spend more time talking to sixteenth place than I do the first place because I want the kids to feel good.” [10:12]“The rule of all conflict is unmet expectations, so just make sure that you have everything spelled out.” [19:27]“Whether it’s a co-worker, whether it’s an, ET cooperator, whether it’s your spouse, communication is key.” [23:00]“As the embryo provider, I feel an obligation to provide embryos that will make pregnancies.” [23:27]“These guys are saying all the rebuilds going to happen, so I’m going to keep extra bulls.
