Kit Carson County

[upbeat country music] Welcome to Pasture to Profit.

My name's Scott Stinnett, CSU Extension specialist here in Kit Carson County in the Burlington, Colorado office.

And again, with me is my colleague Travis Taylor from the Yuma County office located in Wray, Colorado.

Travis, it's weaning time, which means it's a lot of stress on our calves.

I think it's important, visit with your veterinarian, visit with your nutritionist.

As always, if you have questions, you can reach out to either of us on this podcast, and I'm in the Yuma County office, and you can reach me by email at travis.taylor@colostate.edu or call the office at 970-332-4151.

There's active drilling within a 20 mile radius, but haven't had any offers for a lease in over 15 years.

How would we go about promoting our minerals? They're in Kit Carson County.

Matt, this is a common question.

So what else do you have to give him for advice?

Yeah, those are good points.

I think, you know, in this case, we're talking about more conventional oil and gas drilling that's going on in Kit Carson County in southeast Colorado.

And, and so, you know, it's a combination of getting out there physically and I've, I've, you know, and Victor's done a fair amount of it, but since I've been a part of the team, I, I've been traveling, you know, the, the perimeter of the state.

And Travis, it's weaning time, and with weaning time it's also maybe time to make some decisions on maybe which heifers producers wanna retain to start replacing or rebuilding our cattle herd.

Well, Travis, I think that is a lot of good information today for producers to kind of mill over and think about as they're starting to wean and they're looking through those weaning pens between now and hopefully some good sale days coming up here this fall.

If you have questions about today's topic or have suggestions for any other topics, you can reach out to Travis or I.
