Drench Line Podcast

Sam and Logan are back for Episode 2 of the Drench Line, and they're getting right into it — this week is all about the buying process, from that very first conversation with a breeder all the way to pulling into your driveway with an animal in the trailer.The guys kick things off talking about what it actually looks like when a new family walks onto the property looking to buy their first show lamb or goat. Spoiler: the number one question breeders get isn't about genetics or bloodlines — it's about price. And while that's completely understandable, Sam and Logan both agree the more important conversation is about goals. What are you trying to accomplish? Who's judging? What show are you shoping for, and when? That dialogue between buyer and breeder is where the right animal gets found — and where families get set up for success instead of disappointment.From there, they dive into what it looks like to walk into a live sale as a first-time buyer. It's exciting, it's fast, and it can get expensive in a hurry if you don't have a plan. The guys break down exactly what that plan should look like: preview the animals beforehand, take notes, know your budget before you walk through the door, and — don't forget — have a way to haul your animal home. You'd be surprised.They also talk about the value of unbiased previews, why talking to the breeder before you bid can be a game changer, and what to do the moment that new animal arrives at your place (hint: CDT, wormer, vaccinations and a coccidia program are a good start).They wrap up teasing what's coming in future episodes — including a deep dive into why show animals cost what they cost, how IVF and flush programs play into pricing, and why the most expensive animal in the pen isn't always the right one for your kid.No question is a dumb question.

Every podcast has to start somewhere — and for the Drench Line, it starts exactly the way it should: two guys from the show barn, a story about digging a hole, and a whole lot of honesty about what it actually takes to navigate the show sheep and goat world.Sam Silvers and Logan Newsom are the first to admit this is their first rodeo when it comes to podcasting. But when it comes to show livestock? Between the two of them, they've got decades of showing, feeding, fitting, judging, and yes — making just about every mistake in the book. In this debut episode, Sam and Logan introduce themselves, tell the story of how they first met working summers for Rex Stultz in Eden, Texas, and lay out exactly what the Drench Line is going to be — raw, honest, and built for the families who need real answers from people who've actually been there.Here's what they get into:Sam's road from Salado to South Plains to Texas Tech, a two-year stint in the U.S. Border Patrol, and his current role with BioZyme Inc.Logan's journey from the Texas Panhandle to Angelo State football to full-time sheep producerThe infamous eight-foot hole they dug in Eden — and the mystery of filling it back inWhy sheep and goats are the perfect first livestock project for young exhibitorsWhat the Drench Line is really about: bridging the gap for first-time families who don't always know who to askSam and Logan are quick to say this show will only get better from here — and we believe them. Episode 2 is already going to be a problem: they're tackling how to pick out your show animal, and they already know they won't agree on a single thing.Hit follow so you don't miss it. 🐑00:00 — Welcome to the Drench Line: Introducing the Show00:30 — Sam Silvers: Salado, Eden, South Plains & Texas Tech01:30 — Sam's Time in the U.S. Border Patrol — a Side Most People Don't Know02:00 — Logan Newsom: Texas Panhandle, Angelo State Football & Full-Time Sheep Producer03:30 — How Sam and Logan First Met at Rex Stultz's in Eden, Texas05:00 — The Hole Story: Rex Made Them Dig It — Then Made Them Fill It Back Up06:45 — Now They're Show Dads — and Their Boys Are Best Friends at the Stock Shows07:30 — Why Sheep and Goats Are the Perfect First Project for Young Exhibitors09:00 — What the Drench Line Is Really About: Honest Answers for Real Families10:30 — "I've Made Every Mistake in the Book" — Why That Matters More Than Being the Smartest Guy in the Room12:00 — Coffee Thoughts and Tapping Into Industry Knowledge13:00 — Future Episodes and Guests — Reaching Out to the People They Lean On13:30 — Next Episode Preview: Picking Out Your Show Animal (They Already Know They Won't Agree)
