Where Better Cattle Begin is the podcast for cattle producers, ag students, and beef enthusiasts who want to blend cow sense with science. Hosted by Randy Clements of KR Cattle in Northeast Colorado, this show dives into the genetics, reproduction, and management practices that shape the future of the beef industry.

From AI and embryo transfer to body condition scoring, minerals, and new technologies, each episode brings practical insights and real ranch experience you can use in your own herd. Along the way, you’ll hear stories from the ranch, guest interviews with industry leaders, and a focus on stewardship, legacy, and grit.

Whether you’re running cows, raising show calves, or simply curious about how better beef begins, this podcast will give you the knowledge and inspiration to keep improving your herd — and your ranching life.

Where Better Cattle Begin — because better genetics, better management, and better stewardship all start here.
