Kate Schulz shares her unique perspective as both a ranch-raised dietitian and the nutrition expert for the New Mexico Beef Council, helping bridge the gap between food production and nutritional guidance.
• Family connection to agriculture spans generations, with her great-grandfather homesteading the Nebraska-Wyoming family ranch over 100 years ago
• Becoming a registered dietitian requires a master's degree, internship, national exam, and state licensure
• Common misconception that beef can't fit into heart-healthy diets contradicted by research studies showing lean beef's compatibility
• Three ounces of beef provides 25g of protein plus nine essential nutrients, making it naturally nourishing and sustaining
• Balanced protein consumption throughout the day (25-30g at meals, 10-15g at snacks) optimizes energy and satisfaction
• Leaner cuts of beef (look for "round" or "loin") provide flexibility for health-conscious meal planning
• The Sports Nutrition Game Plan offers free resources for high school athletes and coaches through NMAA - https://nmbeef.com/nutrition/sports-nutrition-game-plan
• Small, consistent healthy choices are more sustainable than trying to make dramatic lifestyle changes all at once

Behind the Burger
04/29/25 • 23 min
Abby O'Connor, fifth-generation rancher from Stanley, New Mexico, shares her family's century-old ranching legacy and their operation raising Hereford, Angus, and Charlay cattle for seed stock while managing the challenges of New Mexico's unique landscape.
• Bill King Ranch has been operating for over 100 years with Abby's two-year-old daughter representing the sixth generation
• Managing cattle in New Mexico's arid climate requires constant adaptation to rainfall patterns that can vary from 2 to 15 inches annually
• The science of cattle breeding involves careful genetic selection to produce animals adapted to specific environments and market demands
• Connection with fellow ranchers across the country provides a supportive network that helps sustain operations through challenges
• Growing disconnect between urban consumers and agriculture creates challenges in helping people understand where their food comes from
• Working with the New Mexico Cattle Growers Association to advocate for ranchers and develop the next generation of agricultural leaders
• Preservation of land and ranching traditions ensures future generations have the option to continue the family legacy
• Cattle grazing represents the highest and best use for much of New Mexico's arid land that cannot support crop agriculture
