All-Purpose Corral From Moly Manufacturing

Second in a Series with Jon Mollhagen and Gene Dubas of Moly Manufacturing discussing the Moly Manufacturing All-Purpose Corral.Always a pleasure to talk to Jon Mollhagen and Gene Dubas of Moly Manufacturing. I caught up with them both at Beef & Greet in Bentonville, Arkansas. Jon was heading out for a round of golf, and Gene was recovering from knee surgery—kinda both ends of the spectrum. But any time you get with these two, you're going to talk cattle handling equipment! Moly’s All-Purpose Corral™ is a fresh, innovative take on the traditional corral. With added brace stabilizers, galvanized steel wheels hinged directly to the fence surface, adjustable headgates for different-sized animals, and a lightweight design, you can operate this corral hassle-free. The All-Purpose Corral™ is perfect for any farming operation – portable or permanent. Featuring easy assembly and disassembly processes, this product is designed to meet any challenge head-on. Flat tires, wheel slippage, weak connectors, and tough towing payloads are a thing of the past. With the All-Purpose Corral, Moly Manufacturing has established the industry standard in portable corrals, ensuring it meets all your needs.Moly’s founder, Jon Mollhagen, is a rancher through and through. He grew up on his family’s fifth-generation row crop and cow-calf operation in the Smoky Hills outside Lorraine, Kansas. Long days of working beside his father and fixing equipment instilled a set of deep roots, firmly planted in the prairie soil.At 19 years old, Jon had the opportunity to start a custom farming business, operating on worn-out farm equipment and doing whatever it took to get by, which eventually expanded to 10,000 acres in the area.Early on, Jon found it was much more viable and cost-effective to build his farming equipment. His innovative spirit and determination drove him to create the first product sold by Moly Manufacturing, LLC – the Trans-Corral. This revolutionary corral was designed to be collapsible and portable, and could be pulled by a single pickup truck.​After the initial success of the Trans-Corral, Jon found himself swamped with requests from his customers to develop a hydraulic squeeze chute to pair with the corral. Taking these points into consideration, he set out to build the SILENCER® chute, the product that put Moly Manufacturing on the map. The quiet, equalized pressure system was one of a kind, focusing on animal and operator safety. It was a brand-new take on the squeeze chute, and it soon gained immense popularity among cattle producers nationwide, as well as internationally. The SILENCER® became the flagship product of Moly Manufacturing, known by all as the industry standard in livestock handling equipment.​Since the release of the SILENCER®, Moly has continued to expand its following and product line. Products such as the TurretGate and the All-Purpose Corral have further improved cattle operations worldwide. These releases have served to solidify Moly’s reputation, as well as propel the world of cattle production into a new era of innovation.When Jon sold his first Trans-Corral in 1987, he had no idea that his little corporation would grow to what it has become. It is his hope, as well as that of the entire company, that with the same level of hard work and dedication, we can build a better future for cattle production.

Calf Value Improvement

Calf Value Improvement is a key component of profitability improvement in any cattle herd. While I was at Beef & Greet in Bentonville, Arkansas, I had the opportunity to catch up with Dr. Deana Hardee for a few minutes. Dr. Hardee spoke at the event and took a few minutes to speak with us. Dr. Hardee has a very approachable personality and provides our listeners with great usable information to improve the profitability of their cattle operations.Dr. Deana Hardee, a technical services veterinarian at Merck, discussed strategies to optimize calf value on the American Cattlemen podcast. She emphasized the importance of tightening the calving window through AI, embryo transfer, or prostaglandin use, which can increase weaning weights by 20 pounds. Hardy highlighted the benefits of a solid vaccine program, noting a $15 per head advantage for calves in the Vac 45 and Vac 60 programs. She also emphasized the economic benefits of implanting unweaned calves, which can add 23 pounds per head, as well as the strategic use of deworming to enhance pasture health and improve calf value and performance. Yes, sir. As I mentioned, I really appreciate it when both animal health and the economics of it align, and it's the right thing to do for the calf. But I think one of the easy things we can do in the cow-calf space is to tighten the calving window and have a more uniform calf crop. As we consider this, several technologies can be utilized to achieve that goal. I think one of the obvious ones to even potentially bring in different genetics to the herd is something like AI or artificial insemination, and those protocols that allow us to set those females up with a different form of technology. One that we have at Merck Animal Health is the sub calf. When we think about those AI protocols, or even embryo transfer, donor, and reset females, we are able to better optimize the weaning window for breeding, and literally put this on an app on your phone. So again, there are technologies like that that certainly exist. However, if you're going to utilize your own bull battery and want to try to tighten that calving window, that's something you can do. Is something as simple as administering a prostaglandin, such as estrumate, five days after bull turnout? So what that does is essentially allow more females to try to get bred during that first heat cycle, which is the first 21 days. In return, you can shorten or tighten that calving window, and you have more pounds to market at weaning time. So, again, we can be as advanced as an app on your phone, all the way down to something as simple as utilizing something like estimating five days after a bull turnout to achieve a more uniform calf crop. So what's interesting in all of our data is that we see not only benefits at weaning time, but those animals that were born in that first cycle, they're gonna actually be are more fertile, or the heifers that also get bred first, and if you're retaining ownership through the feeding phase, we're gonna hang a heavier carcass in animals. And so intuitively, makes sense, but it's something as simple as, like I said, giving that extermate five days after bull turnout to get those females to drop a calf earlier in that first heat cycle.

 “IT'S ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT THE GIRL. MATERNAL TRAITS ARE IMPORTANT TO US"
Larry Aschermann grew up on a corn and bean farm in Illinois. Wanting to go to an agricultural school, he chose Kansas State University. He graduated with a degree in Animal Science. His wife Peggy says, “ No one has used their Animal Science degree more than Larry. They taught him a lot about cattle, but nothing about cats.”   After graduation, he became a field man for the American Shorthorn Association. Handling all states East of the Mississippi River. This led to his appointment as the executive for a group importing cattle from France. He then returned home to Illinois to farm. He loved cattle farming; however, Larry says he was voted Illinois Unstar Grain Farmer. When farming didn’t work out, he accepted a job with a subsidiary of Monsanto as Manager of Production in the beef division. While establishing his production area, he fell in love with Southwest Missouri. He knew that was where he wanted to live. He purchased Diamond/Four State Stockyards and held his first sale on April Fool's Day in 1980. While opening the stockyard, he became interested in Charolais Genetics. He is presently pursuing his lifelong dream of selling lots of "Good Bulls".  Larry thinks he is a lucky man. When he was little, he wanted to be a cowboy when he grew up. His dream came true. Only difference is, as Peggy says, “He’s a bullboy.”   Larry has served on the Missouri Beef Industry Council, the Missouri Livestock Marking Association, and the Board for Governor’s Advisory Council for Agriculture along with Aschermann Akaushi. 
Peggy grew up on a Hereford and wheat farm in Kansas. Her childhood dream of becoming the first woman President didn’t quite pan out for her. She graduated from Washburn University with a degree in Criminal Justice.   Peggy has two children and three grandsons, who, of course, are the loves of her life.   Always being an animal lover, she says she can’t believe she found a man who loves the little furry creatures as much as she does. I thought my Dad had the softest hands in the world when treating a sick one, but Larry is right there with him.   Peggy plays lots of softball. Traveling all over the United States on a traveling tournament team. She was inducted into the National Senior Softball Hall of Fame in 2009.  She is a breast cancer survivor. And wants to remind everyone to get that mammogram every year.

Moly Manufacturing TurretGate™

Always a pleasure to talk to Jon Mollhagen and Gene Dubas of Moly Manufacturing. I caught up with them both at Beef & Greet in Bentonville, Arkansas. Jon was heading out for a round of golf, and Gene was recovering from knee surgery—kinda both ends of the spectrum. But any time you get with these two, you're going to talk cattle handling equipment! 
With its master engineering, Moly Manufacturing’s TurretGate™ eliminates the need to swing a gate back open into waiting animals and virtually eliminates the need for humans to be in with the cattle. The advanced gate design shuttles through the turret, re-positioning itself behind waiting animals. The gate is controlled remotely and significantly reduces the stress on animals compared to the old-style manual crowd gates, which pressure the animals into smaller areas, thereby increasing their stress. The innovative technology enables zero physical interaction between humans and animals, ensuring the operator's safety at all times. TurretGate™ helps keep your animals calm and your people safe. Moly’s hydraulic sort gates can also be easily added and customized to an existing facility.
Moly’s founder, Jon Mollhagen, is a rancher through and through. He grew up on his family’s fifth-generation row crop and cow-calf operation in the Smoky Hills outside Lorraine, Kansas.

4 Rivers Akaushi

4 Rivers Akaushi is an excellent story of two families with tremendous skills and opportunities coming together to do even greater things.  Check out our interview with Jeremiah Harris and John Telge of 4 Rivers Akaushi!
John and Elaine started raising ostriches in 1993. They moved our family to the country in 1994, where we built ostrich pens and had our first sets of birds delivered while still working @ a distribution company selling power transmission products. We started selling ostrich meat in the Kansas City area in 1996 to local chefs & and restaurants.
In 2002, Elaine & and I formed “Arrowhead Game Meats LLC.” AKA Arrowhead Specialty Meats. Our goal was to create a meat company that sold natural-type meats, starting with all types of game meats such as ostrich, venison, bison, duck, quail, lamb, and other game. This also led to more mainstream meats such as beef, pork, and chicken, but not just any beef, pork, or chicken. Since we wanted to stay natural, we sourced meats such as Wagyu beef, Piedmontese Beef, Berkshire pork/Duroc Pork, Amish-raised chicken, and many others.
In 2008/2009, we introduced a new line of beef in the Kansas City area called “Akaushi Beef”
from Heartbrand Beef. This new line of meat took off quickly due to its tenderness, taste, and the compelling story behind it. In 2011, Elaine and I took on a new business partner, and together we ran Arrowhead Specialty.
Meats successfully. In 2021, while still selling our natural meats, we purchased our first four fullblood Akaushi heifers. In 2023, Elaine and I decided to sell our share of the business to our business partner and retire from Arrowhead, starting to raise our line of fullblood Akaushi Beef. In the same year, 2023, we began speaking with Rolling H Farms about raising Akaushi Cattle, and together we formed “4 Rivers Akaushi LLC.” We now offer fullblood seedstock, F-1; F2 feeders/fat cattle, and F-1 & F2 heifers/cows.
Jeremiah and Amy Harris in Edgar Springs, Missouri. Since 2017, we have been focused on Akaushi genetics. The Harris farm primarily consists of a cow-calf operation with a strong emphasis on raising replacement heifers. We background our calves and finish approximately 120 fats a year.  We follow best practices for effective and sustainable farming, including rotational grazing, intensive grazing, and freshwater access points
throughout the farm.
We are proud to raise all-natural, prime Akaushi beef with no added
hormones, steroids, or antibiotics. Our goal is to have F1 females produce
F2 feeders and fats for a prime market.

Elanco Animal Health with Dr. M. Wayne Ayers

Welcome back to the American Cattlemen Podcast. Just ahead, we have Gale McKinney, he's the owner of the American Cattlemen, and he sits down with Dr. M. Wayne Ayers, Senior Beef Cattle Technical Consultant for Elanco Animal Health. With extensive veterinary experience, Dr. Ayers emphasized the importance of strategic pest control across different regions of the United States. Parasites and pests pose significant economic challenges for cattle producers. Dr. Ayers highlighted that internal parasites, particularly the brown stomach worm, can cause substantial economic losses. The peak parasite season varies by region, with northern states experiencing high parasite loads in June and July, while southern regions face different seasonal challenges.Fly control emerged as a crucial topic, with Dr. Ayers recommending a comprehensive approach. He suggested using two ear tags per cow and one per calf, explaining that proper application helps distribute pest control chemicals effectively. Horn flies can significantly impact cattle productivity, potentially reducing calf weaning weight by up to 15 pounds, which translates to considerable economic loss.Ticks were another major concern, especially with the introduction of invasive species like the Asian Longhorned tick. Dr. Ayers recommended multiple control strategies, including prescribed burns in pastures and strategic chemical applications.The key to effective pest management lies in developing a tailored, region-specific plan. Producers should work closely with local veterinarians to understand their specific risk factors and create a comprehensive control strategy. Timing is critical, with treatments ideally coordinated with actively growing grass and specific seasonal conditions.Dr. Ayers stressed the importance of responsible product use, advocating for an approach that minimizes chemical application while maximizing effectiveness. He described this as using products "as often as necessary, but as infrequently as possible," which supports both economic efficiency and environmental stewardship.Ultimately, the goal is to improve animal health, increase productivity, and enhance the overall profitability of cattle operations through intelligent, strategic pest management. We hope you enjoy this interview with Dr. Ayers with Elanco Animal Health.

Cattle External Parasites - Cattlemen and Veterinarians

Cattle external parasites are a tremendous problem in cattle herds, and Summer brings on its unique challenges. Dr. Shynia Peterman and I are so excited to welcome you to the inaugural episode of Cattlemen & Veterinarians: A Partnership in Bovine Health!
Our purpose is to bring you information and resources from the industry's brightest minds to help you manage your herd health. Our format is casual, but don’t let that fool you; we dig deep to find the best solutions. We encourage our listeners to send in their questions and comments to gale@twinriversmedia.com.
Today’s episode topic is about external parasites in cattle operations. Lice, mites, ticks, flies, mosquitoes, and other pests can make a cow's life miserable and cost you money!
Our guest is Dr. Mark Alley. Dr. Alley is a managing veterinarian with the US cattle and equine Technical Services team at Zoetis. He joined Zoetis in 2014. His responsibilities include providing technical support to Zoetis territory business managers for cattle in the eastern United States. Mark is a native of Mississippi, having received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine Degree from Mississippi State University in 1996.
Dr. Synia and Dr. Alley discuss external parasites in general, but then dig into various hotspots around the country, including Theileria orientalis Ikeda, a microscopic protozoan parasite that infects the red blood cells of cattle, causing anemia. The disease is primarily transmitted by the bite of an infected Asian Longhorned Tick (Haemaphysalis longicornis) or by blood transfer through the use of contaminated needles and equipment. The tick can feed on many animal species, including humans, but the blood parasite only affects cattle. Once a cow is infected, it may take 1-8 weeks before she shows symptoms of disease. The Asian Tick has been seen in large infestations across the US.
Dr. Shynia answers numerous questions from you our listeners. Make sure and check out her tips and solutions.

JB Ranch Akaushi

A great conversation with Payton Warmke, from JB Ranch Akaushi in Kaufman, Texas. Payton took time from his busy role as father and ranch manager at JB to visit with us, and I am glad he did!In 2018, Steve and Alison Dehan formed the JB Ranch to raise Akaushi Cattle. They now raise 100% full-blood Akaushi and have a herd of over 60 head. They also raise F1 Akaushi calves from the finest Red Angus cows, utilizing RA Brown genetics and cows from our Bridwell West Ranch, which has been a closed herd for over 50 years.The name “JB Ranch” is a tribute to Alison’s grandfather, JS Bridwell. Bridwell was a legendary Texas cattleman, oilman, and philanthropist. He started using the JB Brand in the 1930s and established several ranches in the Texas Panhandle and North Texas.Care for the land and stewardship for the cattle have passed from one generation to the next. With a family history dating back to the ranch’s founding in the mid-1930s, there is a sense of pride and heritage in everything we do. When it comes to caring for the land and our animals, conservation isn’t a sideline; it’s a necessity at Bridwell West Ranch.Bridwell West Ranch holds fast to tried and authentic traditions while embracing modern innovation and advancements. Annual branding events remain essentially unchanged, except for the introduction of electronic identification and a record-keeping system that utilizes the latest technology.JSB Cattle Company is a commercial operation located at the JB Ranch, formerly known as the Star Brand Ranch, in Kaufman, TX. The ranch is located in the Blackland Prairie region of the state, providing access to extremely fertile soils that produce abundant forage. The topography of the ranch sprawls outward and upward from vast bottoms to gently rolling mesquite flats where, on a clear day, one can take in a view of the Dallas Skyline.Our cowherd consists of a high-powered Red Angus herd that has been produced through years of closed herd breeding at our Panhandle location (Bridwell West Ranch). The cowherd today consists primarily of R.A. Brown Genetics, which has been carefully selected to produce a well-balanced and productive female that can thrive and perform in our environment. The cattle possess all the efficiency and performance they need, and will also demonstrate outstanding performance in carcass merit and quality grade. This enables us to produce exceptional Red Angus cattle, as well as excellent F1 Akaushi cross calves.Through our cowherd, we will produce Red Angus calves that will be our program cattle (Gap 4, Verified Natural, NHTC). These cattle will be sold as feeders and will also supply us with replacement heifers. We will also produce F1 Akaushi calves out of our Akaushi Bull Battery. These calves will be marketed as feeders or fats and will also supply us with some replacement heifers that we will sell to the public.The productive ranch allows us to have a lot of flexibility and to maximize production, especially in years of ample rainfall. We strive to produce the highest-quality Red Angus and F1 Akaushi cattle, from feeder to replacement heifers, from birth to slaughter. We are proud of the cattle we have and will always strive to improve year after year.

The 808 Ranch With Lamar and Shari Steiger

Lamar grew up in northeast Wyoming on the JH Ranch until the 1970s, when the Steiger family moved to northwest Arkansas, where Lamar managed the family’s dairy and beef operation. He then served as general manager for JAC's Ranch—the largest Angus seed-stock producer in Arkansas. Beginning in 2014, Lamar helped lead a dramatic and innovative change to the Walmart beef supply by helping to create a proper ranch-to-retail supply chain that ensures consistency and quality at an everyday low price. He continues to consult with major retailers, AgTech firms, and ranchers nationwide on ranch management and profitability. He is an expert in ranch-to-retail beef supply and profitable ranch management. Lamar is a supply chain consultant for several international ‘go to market’ food supply chain clients and currently serves as a board member of New Zealand protein packaging company, FoodCap, and Völur - a Norwegian AI company uniquely positioned to increase profit margins in packing plants. 
Shari is responsible for the design and details of The 808 infrastructure. She received her secondary education and a degree in Biology from Drury University, as well as her math certification from the University of Arkansas. She taught 7th-grade math and science in Bentonville until she homeschooled her three children through 9th grade. Shari’s love of education has led her to serve on the Thaden School Board of Directors since 2016. Having spent every summer with her maternal grandparents on their farm in SW Missouri and raising her children on JAC’s Ranch, Shari sees The 808 as a continuing legacy for the next generation. The 808 is not just a business, but a place of retreat and recreation for families and friends, offering river activities, horseback riding, sundowners, and exploring the land on mules. Shari loves spending time with her grandchildren and family, serving at their local church, gardening, horseback riding, and traveling with Lamar.
The 808 is an innovative, retail-focused ranch. We are third- and fourth-generation ranchers equipped with modern ranching technologies, data-driven insights on beef consumer trends, and key relationships with world-class retailers. We consistently produce genetically superior cattle and are uniquely positioned to help build reliable beef supply chains that benefit both ranchers and consumers.
Owning The 808 Ranch is the realization of a lifelong dream for Lamar and Shari. Growing up on ranches themselves, the Steigers developed a love of the land and a desire to cultivate that same love in future generations. After they got married, Lamar and Shari worked Jac’s ranch together, riding horses after dinner, scouring the land for rocks with holes, and taking family drives to check on the cattle.
When the dream of owning The 808 became a reality in 2020, the Steigers envisioned a ranch that would build on the legacies of their parents and grandparents. Not only did they endeavor to cultivate excellence in their cattle operation, but they also invest in the next generation of aspiring ranchers and farmers. Understanding the demands of ranch life firsthand, the Steigers are actively engaged in the local community, empowering the next generation to take up the task when the time comes.
Lamar and Shari intentionally built The 808 as a place to gather, reconnect, and create lasting memories amidst the beauty of nature. Together, they are working to elevate America’s herd and cultivate a love for the land and industry in the next generation, while fostering beautiful memories for everyone who gets the opportunity to visit The 808.
