From the Pasture with Hired Hand
Balancing life as a livestock breeder is hard work. Technological advances can help but also be nerve-racking. Molly Clubb and Jaymie Feldmann, partners in Hired Hand Website Software, interview guests who are succeeding at the balancing act of marketing, promoting and breeding registered livestock for maximum profitability. If you’re passionate about registered livestock, trying to start a breeding program of your own, interested in new herd marketing technologies, or just want to hear some great ranching advice then this is the podcast for you! Molly and Jaymie even share some comical stories about their experiences in the technology and ag sector over the past 15 years. Tune in!

Patience, Pedigrees, and the Long Game with the Cravens Family
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We’re in Cushing, Oklahoma with Austin and Heather Cravens of Big Creek Longhorns—a family outfit where muddy boots, kid chaos, and big-hearted Longhorns all share the same pasture. The Cravens walk us through their “long game” approach: pairing pedigrees with patience, focusing on structure and disposition, and letting time reveal which matings truly click.
We talk daily rhythms (and the “did that really just happen?” moments), how the kids pitch in, and why faith, hard work, and humor keep the ranch running. It’s a conversation about simple joys, resilient cattle, and building a program that lasts—one thoughtful cross at a time.
