Josh Meeks takes over the Louisiana Farm Bureau Podcast from the road during the 2026 LFBF Beef Tour in Texas. He sits down with longtime tour participant and Louisiana cattleman Gilbert Boudreaux to talk about his cow-calf operation, why he keeps coming back on the Beef Tour and what producers can learn from seeing how others approach the same challenges in agriculture.
Gilbert shares his honest perspective on cattle, legacy, markets, sustainability and the importance of getting away from the day-to-day work long enough to learn from other farmers and ranchers. From feedlots and universities to conversations on the bus, this episode is about the value of fellowship, curiosity and “getting outside the trees” to see what agriculture looks like beyond your own operation.
