This episode captures a crucial discussion with leading cattle advocates Texas Slim, Brett Kenzy, RanchMama Shanen, and Jeff Forrester, as they confront the growing threats facing America’s independent beef producers.From RFID mandates that track every cow to Beef Checkoff dollars funding the very lobbyists fighting against ranchers, this conversation pulls no punches. Panelists expose how multinational packers like JBS, Tyson, and Cargill control over 80% of U.S. beef processing—squeezing out small producers and deceiving consumers with imported beef labeled as “Product of the USA.”But the future isn’t hopeless. Solutions like BeefMaps.com and SaveBeef.org are cutting through the corporate grip, helping families find rancher-direct beef and putting power back into the hands of both producers and consumers.Listeners will hear firsthand accounts from the frontlines of this fight, learn why the return of Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling (MCOOL) is critical, and find out how they can support the ranchers working to protect America’s food supply.Quote from Brett Kenzy:"The fight isn’t just about ranchers—it’s about every family that deserves to know what’s on their plate."Original Recording Credit:Hosted independently by @dd102597226 and @TennesseeTracy on X.

June reflects on their 64-day road trip across America, revealing that “30 minutes off any highway is cattle country,” but you’ll need a peer-to-peer relationship to get there.Key highlights include:How Cole Bolton became the first rancher to earn a full Bitcoin selling beef—then reinvested it to expand his herd, outside the grip of banks and federal subsidies.The rise of BeefMaps.com, an open-source map connecting consumers directly with ranchers worldwide—soon expanding into Norway and Canada.The looming threat of carbon credits, CBDCs, and digital surveillance targeting farmers—and how Bitcoin, layer-two solutions, and privacy-focused tech can shield ranchers.The Strategic Beef Reserve Vision—building community-based beef reserves to defend against the collapse of the multinational supply chain.An open call to developers, builders, and innovators: Help build decentralized finance tools, herd tokenization, and privacy layers to safeguard independent agriculture.SaveBeef.org is the hub for partnerships.Quote from RS June:"67 years until the last family farm is gone.

Texas Slim is joined by Dr. Kat Lindley, Dr. Meryl Nass, Dr. Sabine Hazan, and Breeauna Sagdal to break down how these policies jeopardize land ownership, livestock health, and human immunity—and what local communities can do to fight back.Key themes include:Land Under Threat: Conservation easements, community buyouts, and global agreements stripping farmers of land rights and trapping them in restrictive contracts.One Health Overreach: A WHO and CDC-backed governance structure merging human, animal, and environmental health—critics say it bypasses local agriculture and pushes centralized control.Gut Microbiome Collapse: Dr. Hazan reveals an alarming decline in bifidobacteria—a cornerstone of immunity—caused by antibiotics, poor diets, and industrial farming.Decentralized Solutions: Texas Slim calls for strengthening local food systems and reclaiming health sovereignty—starting with knowing your rancher.Notable Quotes: Texas Slim: “This isn’t just about food. It’s sovereignty—over our health, our land, and our future.” Breeauna Sagdal: “What we’re witnessing is the erosion of local control over land use and water rights.” Dr. Sabine Hazan: “Gut health is collapsing—both in humans and cattle. We must rebuild from the microbiome up.”Why This Matters: Centralized policies threaten the foundation of self-reliance—our land, livestock, and health. Ranchers, doctors, and scientists agree: the future depends on decentralizing food and medicine.🔗 Key Links:Read more and listen at BeefNews.orgFind your local rancher at BeefMaps.comGet Exclusive Deals and Insights at WelcomeToBeef.comSupport the I Am Texas Slim Foundation at SaveBeef.org ★ Support this podcast ★

Let’s get to it.Bird Flu, Beef Imports, and the Future of Food: A Conversation with Texas Slim & Vaccine Safety Research FoundationSource & Broadcast Details:Host: Steve Kirsch – Vaccine Safety Research Foundation (VSRF)Guests: Texas Slim (The Beef Initiative), Dr. Kat Lindley, Dr. Lynn Fynn, Livio SanchezOriginal Broadcast: VSRF Live on vacsafety.orgDate: February 6, 2025Summary & Key Points: This episode brings together voices from health freedom, ranching, and food sovereignty to dissect the ongoing bird flu crisis, USDA mandates, and their impact on American agriculture. Texas Slim joins medical experts to reveal how centralized control over the food supply is escalating under the guise of biosecurity.Key themes include:Bird Flu Mandates: USDA protocols leading to the mass culling of poultry and cattle herds, even when animals show no symptoms, raising concerns about food supply manipulation.Food Supply Disruption: The destruction of over 156 million poultry and questionable avian flu testing procedures are inflating food prices and threatening independent farmers.mRNA Vaccines in Livestock: Growing fears around forced vaccination of beef and poultry with mRNA-based products, particularly in imported meat from countries like China.One Health Framework: CDC and WHO-led global policies integrating human, animal, and environmental health, which critics argue prioritize control over public safety.Consumer Solutions: Texas Slim emphasizes direct relationships with local ranchers as the antidote—reclaiming food sovereignty through community-based agriculture and buying beef direct from trusted producers.Notable Quotes:Texas Slim: “There’s a lot of deception in our food systems. We need a voice for the rancher and the consumer—to cut through this noise.”Dr. Lynn Fynn: “Asymptomatic animals don’t spread bird flu. This is a fabricated crisis designed to justify more control.”Dr. Kat Lindley: “The One Health Framework is already here. It’s driving the war on poultry and beef—most people have no idea.”Why This Matters: The conversation cuts to the heart of America’s food crisis—centralized control vs. community self-reliance. As regulatory overreach and questionable science threaten our ranchers, consumers face rising prices and uncertain meat quality.The solution? Know Your Rancher. Know Your Food. Buy beef from those you trust—direct from the source.Read more and watch the full episode at BeefNews.org. Sign up to connect with your local rancher at WelcomeToBeef.com.

Broadcast Globally. Let’s get to it.Yeehaw. Okay, round two. I'm sitting here in the world headquarters of the Beef Initiative and the I Am Texas Slim Foundation.Ranchers Storefront 1505 4th AveCanyon, Texas 79015And you know what I'm looking at? I'm looking at some catastrophic winds. Some of those winds just blew through here in the Texas Panhandle and we're in the middle of the latest disastaster and of the recovery and relief efforts.And I’m here to tell you everybody is shining brightly because, you know why? It’s not because we’re so damn wind blown, it’s because…Because we are from the Texas Panhandle, we are from a pioneering spirit that gives us this voice and this stance. It gives us this fortitude and it allows me to be very proud from where I come from. Those catastrophic winds that I'm talking about are happening across this nation and in many different ways.It's coming in the form of spiritual bankruptcy, financial bankruptcy, nutritional bankruptcy and a lack of clear communication.And here we are. Listening to this ole “Cowboy Talk.” Well, this cowboy talk has seen these winds blow through more than once. And folks, I'm here to tell you…Ya’ll remember the last article and I brought up Justin Trammell of Panhandle Meats and my partner here at Rancher’s Storefront. Well, he ain't much of a talker until you get him a talkin. The one thing that gets him a talking….Do you know what? Well, there is not just one storefront, there are actually 3 and they all are possible because of the Micro-processing center he and the Trammel family built and brought to market.The WHOLE dang Trammell family.-Trammell Cattle-Panhandle Meats-Tir Bluen-Ranchers StorefrontDo you see how much of a whirlwind that is? They are on top of it. And I'm very proud to be able to be right there in the middle of it all and to be their sidekick.Especially Justin’s sidekick.He of course is the first person I shook hands with and who I asked to go on this journey with me. It was right when I got off harvest. I was in the middle of writing the Harvest of Deception. I’m going to ask yourself to ask yourself a question or two... or three…How many times do we actually hear from other people? How often does someone ask if they can have a word with you?How many times in real life does someone come up to you and reach out to shake your hand and ask you - “Would you please tell me what you do and why you do it?”Lately, when I've gone out to the burn zone and I've come across these ranchers, I can tell they have been taxed to the limit. They have a little confusion, they're a little bit suspect of this ole boy, Texas Slim.What I'm really asking everybody to do is to just… just take a pause.Because we're not selling anything here, folks. What we're trying to do is we're trying to serve. “Servant Leadership!”Everything I've ever done in my lifetime, and especially, ever since I started the Beef Initiative is that I've been able to reflect upon myself and those in which I have served and who have served me. It takes two folks. Many times in this life, a lot of people do not know how to receive. Therefore, we know how to take.A lot of people do not know how to give, they know how to serve.Many people don't know how to receive because all they do is take.When you know how to serve, you know how to receive.To receive is to serve and to serve is to receive. There's something I jotted down years ago and I'll be the first to admit. It was something that I'd written down because I needed to receive a part of me that was lost.I want to share it here:. “When people are asleep their spirits wander off. When they are awake, their bodies are like an open door, so that everything they touch becomes an entanglement. Day after day they used their minds to stir up trouble. They become both swords. Sneaky & Secretive. They are consumed with anxiety ove...

This series promises a mix of heartfelt, random musings with a healthy dose of sarcasm and that distinctive West Texas Dirt Road Twang. Slim plans to share tales of his adventures and insights, offering a glimpse into his life, his beginnings, and his clear vision for the future. As someone who's traveled extensively, covering 160k miles across three continents and circling the globe 1.5 times in less than three years, he brings a wealth of experience and stories, especially from his quest for global #BeefIntelligence.Slim is setting the stage for a modern-day, local and global cattle drive, calling on listeners to gear up for some "catastrophic winds" ahead. He hints at exciting, challenging times, urging his audience to embrace integrity and focus, drawing parallels between life's trials and the journey of a professional team roper learning the ropes. Highlighting the foundational spirit of the American Cowboy, Slim shares anecdotes of camaraderie and resilience, from East Texas's distinct accent to the humorous and sometimes perilous cowboy life, including his own air-lifting adventure across the southern Rockies.Announcing a grand vision for a "Worldwide #BeefIntelligence Kingdom Series" dubbed the new International Lifestyle, Slim intertwines his personal adventures with broader themes of market access, spirit, and freedom. He passionately speaks about combating what he sees as threats to children's innocence and the "Harvest of Deception," signaling a bold stance against undisclosed adversaries. With a nod to his roots and the "True Grit" instilled by his West Texas upbringing, Slim is poised to embark on a mission filled with purpose and determination.In addition to his storytelling, Slim plans to share "Slimisms" and his love for West Texas Red Dirt music, giving shoutouts to local talents like Randall King and their shared dirt road heritage.Stay tuned for "Yeehaw! Cowboy Talk" for a blend of tales, insights, and music from the heart of Texas, as told by Texas Slim himself.Transcript: Hey, I miss ya’ll….I’m back~At least as far as doing that hippy-punk-cowboy kinda talkin….dang do I have some stories to share.This new series that I am calling “Yeehaw - Hippy-punk-cowboy talk” is going to be random, it’s going to come from the heart, and it will have some sarcasm and a little West Texas Dirt Road Twang to it. I’ve been to a few places and I’ve done a few things throughout my lifetime and now it’s time to give you some perspective of who this ole boy is, the vision I had in the beginning and the very clear vision I currently have. And we’re all going to move forward together….time to step up and focus in on the true art of story tellin.I’ll tell ya one thing, it’s time to pull the trigger folks! A train wreck is coming but don’t go frettin…we built out a new rail system and the rail transition is ready to go. We’ve tested and have the results to prove it.I’ll be tellin' ya’ll stories of my life, which started out by me looking up at the sky. I come from the “Llano Estacado,” the “Dessert High Plains” a place that is referred to as the “Caprock” and the land of the Comanches, “Comancheria”. THE Texas Panhandle! THE World Headquarters of the Beef Initiative and the I Am Texas Slim Foundation.And boy howdy has it been one hell of a ride. 160k miles driven, 3 continents explored, 1.5 trips around the globe all on the quest for the most fascinating journey and exploration of global #BeefIntelligence the the world has ever had….and all that done in less than 3 years….you should hear about the prior 40 before that…Oh, and btw it's just getting started so, let’s all pay attention and get a new “Yeehaw” swagger that is ready to scream across the world. We are about to start the next local and global modern-day cattle drive and every one of you is a hired hand and it’s time to pull yourselves up by your bootstraps and saddle up.We have got some catastrophic winds coming our way and I am going to do my best to communicate what I see and how the next two years are going to play out from my perspective. Since I just hired ya’ll on, I'm going to tell you what your job is and what tasks you are going to have moving forward. If we do a good job I’ll be throwing a big ole International Cattleman’s Feast and it will be on me. I’ll just ask that you start living with integrity, and with a new focus. It takes a little practice at first but you’ll get the hang of it. Kinda like how ole Cole Bolton became a professional team roper. One miss at a time. He always saddles back up, he and his roping partner take a deep breath, and as a team, they go get the job done one calf at a time. Cole don’t talk much about his skills, but he has many at his disposal.Folks, the Beef Initiative was started with a foundational spirit that is extremely rare and extremely sought after, it's the spirit of the great American Cowboy.See, I am punchy as hell, I’m from West Texas…Ole Cole, he’s from East Texas, I think he talks funny.Anyways, back to the cowboy spirit I was referring to. There are so many cowboys that behave and talk funny in so many ...

Let’s get to it.In Episode 27, "Servant Leaders," Texas Slim discusses his relationship with four distinct individuals, each bringing a unique perspective to the table.Dr. Brooke Miller, a family physician and cattle rancher, discusses the challenges faced by the ranching industry, particularly the monopolistic control of the Big Four packing companies. He emphasizes the importance of breaking up these monopolies and leveling the playing field for ranchers.
