In this episode, Dr. Dan Shike goes into the foundational purposes of judging programs and the way they have evolved into some kind of sport. However, he emphasizes how these programs can play a pivotal role towards the development of future livestock professionals – from developing soft skills to providing opportunities to young people interested in livestock. That’s because communication and decision making can bridge the disconnection between the sales ring and the commercial world.?

The Beef Podcast Show, I agree; forward and innovative is key. I also learned that companies need divergent and eclectic thinkers unafraid of operating outside silos. These types of leaders are usually the ones that pushes the envelopes using a team of teams approach. Love the podcast and Dr. Dan Shike.

Lately I have been disappointed in the quality of reasons at some higher level junior shows. Would your guest be willing to comment on that?
