Welcome to Episode 60 of A Place to Call Home!

This week, we’re joined by Jared Luhman, a regenerative cattle and crop producer from Minnesota, USA, and the host of the Ranching Returns Podcast. Jared manages 900 acres and 230 Red Angus cows, markets bulls through Pharo Cattle Company, and is passionate about building a profitable, low-input system that supports both land health and family life.

In our first international episode, Jared shares his story of building his operation, how he got started in ranching, and why adaptive grazing and regenerative management have become central to his philosophy. We also dive into the challenges facing next-gen producers in the U.S., and how the Ranching Returns Podcast (formerly Herd Quitter) became a platform for practical, profitable conversations in agriculture.

In this episode, we discuss:

🌱 Starting a regenerative ranching business from the ground up
 🇺🇸 What it’s like for the next generation of producers in the U.S.
 📈 Why profitability, land health, and lifestyle must go hand in hand
 🎧 The evolution of the Ranching Returns Podcast
🐂 Working with Pharo Cattle Company and marketing low-input bulls
🧠 Key lessons from podcast guests across the U.S. and beyond
