Making sustainability real in meat, milk and eggs. Married father of three. I love to play and watch the most beautiful game.

Chris was my adviser and along with Jim Gosey and Lowell Moser, they set me up for success. Chris’ steady, creative scientific approach was inspiring.

Big congrats to these two! The impact on the beef industry is beyond incredible.

[Matt SuttonVermeulen @mdsv]

@NerbasBrosAngus Sounds like a healthy systems perspective similar to the way Dr. Jim Gosey taught at UNL. Not easy for some people to buy into unless they have bought your bulls and seen how their daughters turn grass into beef. Then it’s easy.

@GHGGuru @FAO Great example of leadership in action. @FAO LEAP is establishing the science-based foundation that grounds the important work all of our meat, milk and egg supply chains need to make progress. Thanks for setting the bar with you competency and character.

@SarahMills50 Screening and six months of chemotherapy saved my life and an amazing teacher @SarahMills50 helped my daughter Gabi deal with the challenges. Suzi and I will never forget. Thank you!

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month!
It’s suggested that screenings begin @ age 45, but this disease can affect any age. It’s never too soon to ask for a screening. Luke was 40 when he received his Stage 4 Diagnosis. Get screened & advocate! It can save your life.

@TheSamWildman Congratulations Sam! You and Abby are fantastic parents and Hayes will be an awesome big brother.

@FDGenetics Kind of reminds me of an intern. Leaning on the pro, looking at everything through fresh eyes, wondering what’s going on and excited for every new day. It’s fun to be a puppy.

@Bovidiva Congratulations Jude on another great milestone

[Matt SuttonVermeulen @mdsv]

@Bovidiva In our house, it is similar to a tree falling in the forest. If no one witnesses the event…

@samdknowlton Sam, these are great insights but one significant challenge you are missing is that Leucaena is highly invasive and has proven very difficult to control. It is out of control in many ecosystems.

@ranchersdottir Life is all about Plan B. Show up. Listen. Lead. Build community. Progress over perfection. Fix your mistakes. Love. Call BS. Be aware of how you are showing up. Forgive yourself and others. Don’t judge-Be curious. Ask for help. Never give up. Figure out Plan B and do it again.

@JLazySAngus No wonder your cows welcome you working calves. They get lovin from day one at your ranch. Good on ya!

[Matt SuttonVermeulen @mdsv]

@ranchersdottir $183 billion in supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP) is used to buy a lot of meat, milk and eggs.

[Matt SuttonVermeulen @mdsv]

@ranchersdottir Porter’s Five Forces explains a lot. 1) Bargaining power of buyers 2) Bargaining power of suppliers 3) Threat of substitute products 4) Threat of new entrants 5) Competition. Basic economics- not a boogeyman conspiracy.

@ranchersdottir @Tonbara17 I interpreted @ranchersdottir differently than you guys. For me seeing so much energy and outreach to one individual who is on center stage in society and complete indifference and no recognition to the plight of others in the shadows is disappointing to me.

[Matt SuttonVermeulen @mdsv]

@FordLiz @Bovidiva I don’t know. There is a fine line between stupidity and brilliance.

[Matt SuttonVermeulen @mdsv]

@SMR_114 Think of your working chute as “pit row” Bring him in, slow him down, take this one off and send him out to find another.

[Matt SuttonVermeulen @mdsv]

@ironheeler Consider pitching the tray. Replace with new bits. Why have a tray if you don’t want people to use it?

[Matt SuttonVermeulen @mdsv]

@FDGenetics Wishing you well
