Her and her family eventually moved to town and she started milking cows for a neighbor. Ashley has a good mix of swine, beef and dairy in her background.  Ashley attended South Dakota State University and majored in animal science and food safety, and went to grad school at the University of Minnesota.

Casual Cattle Conversations

Casual Cattle Conversations is a podcast that utilizes rancher-to-rancher education to share experiences, stories and information about ranchers and other individuals in the beef industry. This podcast covers all topics related to ranching from time management, entrepreneurship, finances and anything in-between. 

Show Host - Shaye Koester
Storyteller, rancher, educator, and leader with a passion for the beef industry

I am a storyteller and educator for the ranching industry.

As the founder and producer of the Casual Cattle Conversations Podcast, I aim to connect and inform beef producers via rancher-to-rancher education through a virtual platform.

As the education advisor for the North Dakota Junior Red Angus Association, I work with youth ages 6-18 to expose them to opportunities in the beef industry while allowing them to gain an understanding of the industry as a whole.

There is power in an honest story and I believe in sharing that. Especially the stories of the people in agriculture.

I come from a seedstock and commercial ranch in North Dakota and that is where my passion for the beef industry started and why I am still involved on our family operation today. I grew up being involved in all aspects of the operation and enjoy the lifestyle and purpsose behind it.
