In this Field Notes episode of The Source, host Jamie Wolf sits down with Andy Tegethoff to talk about the idea behind SmartBulls® and why mature, experienced bulls can make sense for commercial cattle operations.

Rather than spending time and resources developing a young bull, SmartBulls are bulls that have already been through additional age and development and are ready to go to work immediately. Jamie and Andy discuss how the program works, the advantages mature bulls can offer, and why many producers value bulls that have already proven durability and real-world performance.

The episode also previews the upcoming SmartBulls® sale at Fallon Livestock on March 17, where around 30 head of mature, ready-to-work bulls will sell.

In this episode of The Source, host Jamie Wolf sits down with Cody and Bryan Jorgensen to talk about the meaning behind the Jorgensen Land & Cattle logo — three diamonds that each tell part of their story. The center diamond represents their cattle business, the right represents their work in agriculture and crop production, and the left represents their focus on agritainment. Together, the diamonds capture what the Jorgensen operation is all about.

In Part 2 of Embracing Innovation, the conversation turns to the cattle side of the operation. Hosts Nick Jorgensen and Jamie Wolf are joined by Cody Jorgensen to discuss how innovation has shaped, and continues to shape, the way the cattle operation is run.

Cody shares how new approaches and tools have changed the way cattle are tracked, evaluated, and managed, and why those changes matter for the long-term direction of the operation. The conversation looks at how these innovations have been applied across the cattle operation over time.
