<p>A topic I feel we must continue to discuss with one and other is mental health. I had read Cynthia’s latest article in the January edition of the SSGA’s Beef business magazine and thought it was just spot on. Then a listener and friend reached out and told me very personally that my discussions on metal health on past episodes he had enjoyed and helped him in a way. </p><p>This episode recaps portions of the article and is a conversation with an expert and friend that understand what we live day to day and the pressures of living the lifestyle we do. </p><p>You’re never alone. When you want to talk people will listen. </p><p>If you feel like now is a good time for a chat with someone, here are some</p><p>Resources we discussed in the episode:</p><p>Free Mental Heath Services in Saskatchewan</p><p>SaskAgMatters Mental Health Network Inc</p><p><a href="http://www.saskagmatters.ca/"><u>www.saskagmatters.ca</u></a></p><p>Online Therapy Unit</p><p><a href="http://www.onlinetherapyuser.ca/"><u>www.onlinetherapyuser.ca</u></a></p><p>306-337-3331</p><p>Counciling Connect Saskatchewan</p><p><a href="http://councelingconnectsask.ca/crisis-services"><u>councelingconnectsask.ca/crisis-services</u></a> </p><p>Suicide Crisis Helpline</p><p>Telephone: 988</p><p>Thank you to the Saskatchewan Stock Growers for access to the publication and permission to share:</p><p><a href="https://issuu.com/skstockgrowers/docs/beef_business_january_2025/32?ff"><u>https://issuu.com/skstockgrowers/docs/beef_business_january_2025/32?ff</u></a></p><p>Thank you to Season 5 sponsors:</p><ul><li><p>Klassen Industries </p></li><li><p>Bovigen Reproductive Services</p></li><li><p>Angus World</p></li></ul><p>Thank y'all for listening.

<p>Our first discussion and venture into the Purebred Dairy sector. I asked Garry nearly a year ago to join me for an episode. We have been bouncing back and forth on some recording dates and were able to make it work. </p><p>I’ve always been intrigued by Garry's story shared from mutual friends, then when I set into making some notes there was so much to talk about I feel like we only hit on two thirds of it. From a young man that has the passion of purebred dairy cattle grown within as he shared the experience with his father, to owning an auction mart. If you've been in the business for any length of time, I think we all can attest that owning a mart is not for just anyone, it is a whole new world. From the interview I also hope you can tell that milking cows for a living is not for the faint of heart either! That's 24/365 no question. </p><p>Where Garry and I first hit it off and why I had the original idea of having him on was when we get talking about breeding stock and marketing females, semen, embryos and more. This is something we are both very passionate about, I did my best to stay on notes and keep it moving or we could have talked for another hour on just this alone. </p><p>Thank you to Season 5 sponsors:</p><ul><li><p>Klassen Industries </p></li><li><p>Bovigen </p></li><li><p>Angus World</p></li><li><p>F’d Up Farming Podcast</p></li></ul><p>Thank y'all for listening.

<p>It was great to sit down with Dr Tyson this past summer to pre-record a topic that is always a great talking point. We have all asked friends what they do and what works best for them, we have read the online posts with opinions and results, then I bet you have done a little extra research. Flushing cows is not just automatic, there is a reason I don't gamble at a casino or hit the VLTs, I need to save my luck for other things in life such as setting up and flushing a cow to maximize results. Now, I make it sound like a crap shoot, but it is a detailed process that must be followed diligently for best results. I remember setting up my first cow, the nerves, the personal pressure and handing the unknown of the result. </p><p>I hope you enjoy Dr Tyon’s thoughts as he outlines the topic. If you have questions, reach out to your preferred service provider, they are all more than happy to answer your questions and help maximize your efforts of genetic advancement. </p><p>Thank you to Season 5 sponsors:</p><ul> <li><p>Klassen Industries </p></li> <li><p>Angus World</p></li> <li><p>F’d Up Farming Podcast</p></li></ul><p>Thank y'all for listening.
