There are some good clips on there @unlacedgecko I fell asleep watching them last night.
I think a lot of the industry is too far gone. Even if the will to change their way of thinking was there, with low prices and debt, the cost of changing the system, e.g. type of cow, infrastructure wouldn't be viable in a lot of cases. If they sat down and did the sums they'd be far better off getting out of farming. ?
Glad you enjoyed them.
Have a listen to some of the Working Cows podcasts. Some are a bit boring, some can be a bit preachy (the host is very religious) but there is some great material there. Really inspirational stuff.
I heard one recently with Dave Pratt (Ranching for Profit guy in the videos above). In the 1980s, with high interest rates, he had a customer who had a ranch worth $1.5mil which was carrying $1.6mil of debt. Through ranching the owner hd the debt paid off in full in 6 years.
