It’s spring. It’s mud. It’s snow. And that means calving in the beef industry is upon us. This week, Valene gives us a glimpse of calving season and its realities on her ranch.
As always at Millennial Ag, this peek into Valene’s life right now is real and raw. She talks about the challenges, excitement, chaos, heartbreak, and hope that this time of year brings to ranchers, and how to maintain a sense of self and humor throughout.
A Type A engineer and planner, Valene starts us off with the jolt of this year's unexpected early start of babies arriving (thanks, Steven!) to her honest opinions on why, believe it or not, it’s better for calves to be born in the snow than in mud. She talks about how critical it is to make sure each calf gets a strong start, what predators and pests have been around lately, and how she is taking care of herself during this season.
Tune into this episode for a little humor, hope, and a whole lot of grace from one of the beef industry’s best!
