On this episode of the LaneCast Ag Podcast, Lane Nordlund sits down with three leaders driving the future of the beef business. Roger Wann, Angus breeder and American Angus Association Board Member from Oklahoma, shares how verified genetics and programs like AngusLink help ranchers earn more. Doug Stanton, Senior VP of Sales and Business Development for IMI Global, explains how verification and traceability build long-term trust and market premiums. And Grant Keenen, Senior Director of Cattle Procurement for Walmart, offers insight into how the retailer’s direct supply chain connects ranchers to consumers.

Together, they discuss how genetics, verification, and partnerships across the beef supply chain help producers capture the premium and keep the value — no matter the market.

In this episode, Lane Nordlund talks with NCBA CEO Colin Woodall about President Trump’s recent Truth Social post claiming credit for high cattle prices — and his new plan to boost beef imports from Argentina to lower grocery costs. Woodall says the move could hurt U.S. cattle producers, worsen the trade imbalance with Argentina, and risk animal health due to the country’s history of foot-and-mouth disease. He urges the administration to let cattle markets work and focus instead on protecting the U.S. herd and reducing regulatory burdens.

It’s fall shipping season and ranchers are seeing the rewards of years of hard work. Lane Nordlund sits down with rancher and Superior Livestock Auction Representative Jake Feddes for a front-seat conversation right from the pickup during another busy shipping day.

Jake shares insights on this year’s record-high calf prices, how producers are managing contracts, and why heifer retention isn’t taking hold yet. The two also tackle the latest market volatility following President Trump’s comments on beef imports, the challenges of rebuilding America’s cow herd, and the opportunities for young ranchers looking to get their start through unconventional partnerships and co-op marketing.

From the Tracy Yards to the broader cattle industry, this is a grounded, real-world discussion about cattle, community, and optimism in rural America.

President Trump says importing Argentinian beef could lower prices — but America’s cattle producers aren’t buying it. National Cattlemen’s Beef Association CEO Colin Woodall joins LaneCast to break down the risks for U.S. ranchers and rural America.
