Sheep Breeding, Solar Panels and Federal Overreach with Hank Vogler
Nevada sheep rancher Hank Vogler joins Trent Loos on Rural Route for a hard-hitting look at sheep breeding, federal overreach, and the future of American ranching. Hank breaks down artificial insemination techniques, including PMS synchronization and conception rates from 50 to 85 percent. Talk turns to port closures, agricultural trade, New Zealand lamb, and solar panel development on Nevada grazing lands. Trent examines government subsidies that pay producers to graze sheep under solar panels while independent ranchers struggle. Hank exposes federal regulations, inspection fines, and road maintenance battles, while Trent weighs Doug Burgum’s motives for opening federal lands to grazing.
