Sustainable Stock: Reviving Legacy Genetics
The official podcast of Bos Sires
Sustainable Stock is where the real conversations are happening. Hosted by Patrick Powers, this podcast digs into what built the cattle industry in the first place—fertility, function, and common sense. We’re not here to push trends. We’re here to bring back the genetics and philosophies that actually work.
Each episode explores how breeders, cattlemen, and others in the industry are finding success by doing things differently—often by returning to the fundamentals the industry forgot. From historic bloodlines to low-input ranching systems, this podcast captures both the why and the how behind sustainable cattle production.
It’s not just about nostalgia. It’s about fixing a broken system—and giving ranchers real tools to move forward.
Sustainable Stock
Standard Series
This is the core of the podcast—long-form episodes focused on what it really takes to build sustainable herds. You’ll hear from breeders, yes—but also from people working across the cattle world: exporters, techs, and ranchers in tough environments doing whatever it takes to make it work.
The common thread? These are people with real-world experience, not just opinions. We talk about what’s broken in the system, what actually works, and how to move the industry in the right direction—one herd at a time.
Sustainable Stock
I n Spanish
Bos Sires is launching a Spanish-language podcast series hosted by Jesse Colón—focused on sustainable cattle genetics, practical breeding, and the challenges ranchers face in Latin America and beyond.
This new series will bring the same no-nonsense approach, but in a format built for Spanish-speaking cattlemen looking for real solutions that work in their environments.
Shooting the Bull
Sub-Series
We’re not just pulling back the curtain—we’re tearing it down.
Shooting the Bull is the raw, unfiltered subseries where the cold, hard truths come out about what’s gone wrong in the cattle industry—and what’s still worth fighting for.
You’ll hear from real cattlemen and voices we trust—people who built their programs the right way and aren’t afraid to call out the nonsense. It’s straight talk with no fluff, and you’ll come away with tools to ask better questions and build cattle that actually work.
A large part of these episodes will air on the main Sustainable Stock podcast channel—but to hear the full, uncut versions, please to head over to our Patreon.
Learning from the Legacies
Sub-Series
Some breeders stayed quiet. Others were labeled controversial. But all of them have one thing in common—they built real herds that lasted.
Learning from the Legacies captures the stories, strategies, and wisdom of the breeders who never gave in to industry trends. These are the ones who culled hard, prioritized fertility, and stuck to their principles through it all.
We’re preserving their knowledge through interviews, podcasts, and written material so the next generation doesn’t have to start from scratch.
Select segments will be released on the Sustainable Stock channel, but the full-length legacy interviews and bonus material will be exclusive to Patreon.
