Ep. 12 - Kieren McCosker - Improving Reproduction and Resilience in Northern Beef Herds

In this episode, I sit down with Quirt Pugsley to talk about his journey in the grazing industry, from growing up on a working cattle ranch to building his own operation. We dive into the challenges of getting started, the role of custom grazing for economic stability, and the lessons he’s learned along the way. Quirt shares his approach to breeding cattle that truly fit the land, balancing frame size, efficiency, and marketability while keeping fertility and sustainability at the forefront. We also get into the nuts and bolts of calving strategies, heifer development, and culling decisions, as well as how he uses social media to market his herd. If you’re interested in raising cattle that thrive in tough country and hearing the mindset behind a long-term grazing operation, this one’s for you.
