Hank Vogler on Nevada Ranching Memories, Cattle Border Rules, and the KRS Insecticide Debate
Nevada rancher Hank Vogler joins Trent Loos on Rural Route to share decades of ranching stories, from his 1974 rodeo belt buckle win to a record-setting 2004 team branding event in Paradise Valley. The two dive into serious livestock issues too, including Nevada's unique cattle border restrictions at Douglas, fears over the Asian longhorn tick, and how New World screwworm has become a political football instead of a real cattle health priority. They also revisit KRS, the coumaphos-based insecticide the EPA approved in 1973, comparing it to modern treatments like Ivomec and criticizing the FDA's slow drug approval process for ranchers.
