Hey, Corey, remember that time you tried to get me to eat alligator? Yeah, at Buzzard Billy's in Des Moines. Yeah, that's right.
That's where it was. It's a great place to go, especially if you're going to be at the Casey Center or the Iowa Events Center or one of these farm shows, trade shows that are hitting up Des Moines, because it's just right across the street. Yeah, we know we've got a lot of listeners that are probably going to one of the farm shows or maybe even, heck, state wrestling, state basketball, all the events that are going on down there, even Whitetail Classic. Great cocktails.
How did Balance4Ward originate and what is its mission?
Yeah, I was going to say one of the best burgers. You never miss when you go to Buzzard Billy's. Walk across the street and let them know that Farm for Profits is here.
If you're going to build a business, you really don't do that. You actually grow people and then they grow the business. And I had to quit throwing stuff against the wall and quit making all the decisions myself and had to, I mean, it really rocked my world when I had to figure out how to look at things completely different and let go of all the control and let other people make more mistakes.

Welcome back to the podcast. Tanner, Corey, Dave, all sitting here in studio. And I can't remember the last day that we haven't had any wind. It's windy out there. It is not windy out there.
Yesterday was like one of the windiest days.
Why do traditional cattle feeding models fail producers?
Right. Every day has been windy. Today, there's been no wind. Oh, I suppose. I felt like it was not windy the day before last. Isn't that just kind of the way it goes, though? Because I remember specifically saying the Midwest thing of like, you know, if it was windier, it'd be really cold. But this ain't too bad.
You just got to give the positive on the back.
Yeah. It was like, it was pretty dang cold, but like, man, boy, if it was windy, this would suck.
It blew over my new patio set and it had like a nice cover. And I thought I'm going to be the good homeowner and actually put the cover on it, put the ratchet strap on it. Well, she all tipped over now. It just tipped over as a group this time.
What is the Cattle Business Systems approach?
That's yeah. That's true. That's not the way you want to go about it. I didn't think that's the way you were going to go with your story either. We're going to talk cattle today.

We talked about cattle with our new hire, Cody, during his episode right at the beginning of the year. And he's been catching a lot of flack for calving in January. Yeah, when I was scheduling that post, I was like, there's not much here. But I'm like, maybe people do care about when people calve. And apparently they do.
Well, he's got show cattle, though.
Well, yeah.
What practical value does advisory and coaching add to cattle feeding?
They're looking for timing. They're looking for weight. They're looking for size. They're looking for a very specific kind of... We got a text message to the hotline in 4861.
It said, hey, Farm for Profit guys. It didn't sound like the way I started it.
