Wes shares his experience interning in Washington D.C., working around the Farm Bill, New World Screwworm discussions, and rural policy issues while also balancing life back home on his family’s cattle operation in the Texas Panhandle. The conversation dives into the disconnect between rural America and Washington, why young producers need to stay involved in policy conversations before decisions are made, and how the next generation of agriculturists can continue shaping the future of the beef industry through leadership, communication, and advocacy.Links: Wes's LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/wes-shaw4/CattleUSA Insurance - https://info.cattleusainsurance.com/l/1102253/2025-06-04/288f5m⁠CattleUSA Website - https://www.cattleusa.com/CattleUSA App IOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/cattleusa/id1673147759CattleUSA App Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.edgarmcbee.cusamobile&pcampaignid=web_shareFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/cattleusamediaInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/cattleusa.media/Subscribe to our newsletter - https://www.cattleusa.shop/products/cattleusa-drive-premium-daily-newsletter?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&brid=YWdncwFNXt0EmdzFy5cJJBp84J9gCattleUSA Media - https://www.cattleusamedia.com/Lauren’s Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/_laurenmoylan/Lauren’s Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@ShowboatmediacoThe Next Generation Podcast Website - https://www.thenextgenag.com/Key Takeaways: - Why young cattle producers need to stay involved in policy conversations-The disconnect between Was…","meta_description":"On today’s episode of the podcast, Lauren is joined by Wes Shaw, a fifth generation Texas cattle rancher and Texas Tech student currently pursuing a futur…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1764,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/cattleusa-daily-7200592/episodes/337-the-future-of-beef-is-in-the-hands-of-the-next-generation-with-wes-shaw/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/cattleusa-daily-7200592/337-the-future-of-beef-is-in-the-hands-of-the-next-generation-with-wes-shaw.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
