For this week’s episode, I interviewed John Gutzman, who is running a cow/calf and crop operation in Wisconsin. I really enjoyed this conversation where we discuss the best ways we’ve found to make cow/calf work in this region with high snowfall and crusty snow. I also just love stories of folks building operations from scratch like John is doing!

Hi Great to listen to your podcast about grazing cattle. all your experiences seem to confirm what I have found here in Vermont, some difficult winters and muddy springs, and calving at inopportune times I’ve been bale graising on my pasture land for 30 years and it seems the same questions are still coming up everywhere that people want to do this. After a while I guess we all figure out what works in our place. I was interested in the thought of marketing your heiferettes or cull cows as beef. one of my interesting experiences with that was that I had a 9-year-old one quarter wagyu cow that I intended to do for myself and my butcher decided on his own to switch it with my meat customer so I got the two and a half year old Sim Angus and they got my 9-year-old cow. they did acknowledge that it was some of the best beef they ever ate. She raised a calf weaned in October and was slaughtered off grass the same week
