  • Building a Healthier Herd from the Inside Out with Trevor and Nichole Warren
    Jan 9 2026

    In this episode of Horns N Hooves, we are joined by Trevor and Nichole Warren, the founders of North True Feeds. They share the science and passion behind their cold-pressed livestock tubs, explaining how this unique process preserves vital nutrients that are often lost in traditional heat-processed feeds. The Warrens dive into how their products, ranging from fly control with garlic to gut health support, are helping producers across the country achieve a more resilient and healthy herd.

    Key Takeaways

    Cold-pressing technology ensures that vitamins and minerals remain bioavailable and are not damaged by high temperatures during manufacturing.

    Managing livestock health starts with the gut; when the digestive system is balanced, cattle are better equipped to handle stress and environmental challenges.

    Natural ingredients like garlic and apple cider vinegar provide effective, chemical-free solutions for pest management and overall immunity.

    Episode Highlights

    Trevor and Nichole discuss the "incredible process" of creating biodegradable tubs that leave no waste behind in the pasture. They explain the specific benefits of their "Butter" and "Peanut" lick tubs and how these formulations cater to different livestock needs throughout the year. The conversation also covers the importance of empowering the next generation of farmers with hands-on nutritional knowledge.

  • Navigating the Risks of Modern Ranching with Jake Tollman
    Jan 2 2026

    In this episode of the Horns N Hooves podcast, we dive into the complex world of livestock and ranch insurance with special guest Jake Tollman from the Hartford Agency. From protecting high-value Highland cattle to understanding the nuances of agritourism liability,

    Jake breaks down how to safeguard your farm from "freak things" that can and do happen. Whether you are hauling a prize bull or hosting visitors on your property, this conversation covers the essential coverage every modern rancher needs.

    Key Takeaways

    Ranchers should understand the difference between blanket policies and scheduled individual coverage for high-value animals.

    Liability is a major factor when animals are in transport or participating in public events like petting zoos. Specialized mortality insurance is vital for protecting large investments in boutique cattle breeds.

    Episode Highlights

    Jake explains why a simple waiver might not fully protect you from liability if a spectator is injured on your ranch.

    We discuss the "mysterious disappearance" clause and why finding a carcass is often necessary for a successful insurance claim.

    The team also explores "short-term" insurance options for animals purchased at auction.
