Polo Rocha, the show’s producer and host, came out to Mezquite Ranch with a film crew to film a segment with Renato Gutierrez Gonzalez about their Angus cattle and the Livestock Expo. They also wanted to film a segment with me, talking about my study tour to Mexico, and describing what I look for in Angus cattle (via a translator, obviously!). Using line ups of Mezquite’s cows and heifers, they got me to speak about the structure of each one in detail. After a full morning of filming at the ranch, we continued at the Livestock Expo, where I had to assess the structural points of a red angus bull, as well as filming me preparing and fitting Mezquite’s cattle for the auction and judging. I had to film a promo for the show, saying something like ‘Don’t miss Ranchos de Hoy’ in Mexican – which was very challenging!
