Scott Bachmeier, host of Dakota Prairie Outdoors, joins us to unravel the complexities of wildlife management amidst the rugged beauty of North Dakota’s Badlands. Our conversation kicks off with a deep dive into how EHD is shaping the future of deer populations, with whitetail and mule deer navigating the slow road to recovery. Scott doesn't shy away from addressing the rise of coyotes, dissecting how market and environmental shifts are impacting hunters and investors alike. His expertise paints a vivid picture of the challenges and opportunities facing wildlife enthusiasts and landowners in this ever-changing landscape.
We then steer our discussion towards the vital crossroads of wildlife management and agriculture. The cattle industry is riding a wave not seen since the early 2010s, and we're unpacking what this boom means for ranchers eager to expand their horizons. It's a balancing act between seizing growth opportunities and exercising caution in a market that demands strategic foresight. With echoes of 1962's low cattle numbers and high prices, the conversation underscores the necessity of planning for both the runaway successes and the inevitable downturns that define this cyclical field.
As our chat rounds out, we spotlight the transformative power of professional land management, particularly for baby boomers on the cusp of retirement. We draw compelling parallels between managing real estate and financial assets, emphasizing the potential to unlock greater returns through savvy management. The episode culminates in an exploration of the buoyant Angus and Red Angus bull sales, celebrating the resilience of ranchers and the ongoing surge in cattle popularity. From proven genetics to the intricacies of purebred ventures, there's plenty for budding producers to consider as they carve their path in the cattle industry.
