Episode Details Let's Ranch it Up! There has been lots of news about BSE, and what effect this could have on the ranch. So it is the perfect time to address biosecurity on the farm and ranch. And we are talking about those enemies that we can't see with the naked eye. Regardless if you think this affects your operation or not, it is an economic factor that needs to be reviewed and calculated when determining your ranch or farm's bottom line. Profits to be made, losses to be lowered; a win-win to not overlook. And you want solutions? We provide solutions and answer those questions that many have asked. As always Tigger & BEC's crew dive into the latest agriculture news, rodeo action to not miss, and cover the cattle markets. Biosecurity on the Ranch When we hear biosecurity, we may think about infiltration, sabotage, and/or espionage. We are not necessarily meaning the 2 legged invaders, but rather those that we can't see with the naked eye. This is an animal welfare issue and an economic issue. And it's becoming more and more important all the time as our consumers tell us what is important to them. COW COUNTRY NEWS Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy has been detected in a cow in South Carolina. This was an atypical case and did not enter the food chain. Protocols were in place and worked! What would happen if the African Swine Fever hits the United States? Experts say we need to prepare because it could greatly affect us in the beef business as well.
