    Apr 24 2026

    Young people getting after it in the business is refreshing! Congrats to Mitch on firing up the Next Gen Cattle Podcast, please make sure y’all search it and subscribe on your favourite podcast platforms and YouTube.

    Mitch has a deep passion for the cattle industry and mentoring the up and coming youth show enthusiasts. Along with his finance Sam, they are building up a piece of their business and promoting their brand. Inventive and an outside of the box thinking Mitch does not seem like he will ever quit working on something new and sharing it with everyone.

    Mock Stock, ever heard of it? If you haven’t it is for sure worth a look. What a great idea for practicing fitting cattle without the extra of having to deal with one!

  • 59 - Canadian Agriculture Hall of Fame
    Mar 27 2026

    A great change of pace for an interview and learning about the Canadian Agriculture Hall of Fame was fun. I reference LEGENDS in this podcast frequently. In the Hall of Fame, these are industry Legends immortalized by their stories and with a beautiful portrait.

    Located in Toronto on the fair grounds, the CAHF is a first class organization dedicated to the history of those that built up Canadian Agriculture and had an impact locally, nationally and globally.

    Make sure to check out their website: cahfa.com. Look up some inductees. Read some of the history and great stories. My wife and I have also signed up as lifetime members, it took all of 15 seconds and I feel like the networking opportunities from future events will be tremendous.

    Phil Boyd, the Chair of the Board was gracious to walk through the process of applying for the hall and other details. He also talked about how to visit the Hall. This is now on my bucket list of places to visit and spend time taking in the beautiful portraits and reading the stories of great people.

    There are over 245 inductees in the Canadian Agriculture Hall of Fame. It was a cool feeling as I looked through the members to say that I personally knew some of their stories. Make sure to go have a look yourself. You never know, what if your name could be inducted one day?

    Thank y’all so much for tuning in for the 6th season.

  • 58 - Mike Earley with Earley Livestock
    Feb 24 2026

    Six generations of farming in his blood, a passion for raising livestock unlike any other. Mike’s interview was awesome. Pre-warning, it's a touch long because it's two guys that love talking about cows, family and everything else in between.

    Mike’s experience is vast. His time traveling with his grandfather and father to shows. Pushing for success and to learn more and more and more. Then time spent at Michigan State, traveling the USA and Canada looking at cattle, seeking out mentorship and opportunity.

    I don’t know how else to describe the wide range of topics we discussed and pure unfiltered advice that Mike left me with. Listen. Enjoy.

    Thank y’all so much for tuning in as we start onto our 6th season.
