We Live It | LiveAg's Livestock Marketing Podcast

Running cattle is hard enough without drowning in receipts and spreadsheets. In this We Live It podcast episode, we sit down with Alex Thompson from Norwood, Colorado to talk about the financial headaches every rancher faces—from tracking expenses across multiple enterprises to actually knowing if you're profitable at the end of the year.

Alex truly lives it. Being married to a rancher running Limousin cattle at high altitudes, she understands the ranching lifestyle firsthand. Now working with Ambrook, she's helping producers modernize their bookkeeping without abandoning the values and traditions that define ranching. We dive into why accurate financial data matters for making better breeding, marketing, and operational decisions, and how the right tools can simplify back-office chaos so you can spend more time doing what you do best: raising livestock.

This isn't about replacing ranchers with technology. It's about giving you the data you need to run a more profitable operation while staying true to who you are. Whether you're a third-generation commercial operator or just starting out, this conversation will help you think differently about ranch finances.

Alex Thompson:

The more time that we have to either work cattle, talk about cattle, think about cattle, the better our decisions are going to be. So it saves us, I mean, should save us all time by making your bookkeeping easier, cleaner, faster. One of the things that I always say is like, if you were running a business, any other type of business and making the decisions that we make on any given day, there'd be an accountant, there'd be an analyst, there'd be a couple lawyers. I mean, when you're you're making big decisions for your business like ranchers make every day, you normally have this whole team. We obviously don't have that for most people in ag, right?

Alex Thompson:

So Ambrooke can kind of be that and give you those numbers that that team, if you were running a Fortune 500 company, gives you.

Casey Mabry:

That's a head on. We live it. The live ag podcast. Quality cattle deserve premium prices. Consign to a live ag video auction and capitalize on today's strong market demand.

Casey Mabry:

Our upcoming auctions are on your screen and available online at live-ag.com. Contact your local rep to get started. Now here are your hosts, Ty De Cordova and Casey Mabry.

Ty deCordova:

Welcome back to the We Live It podcast. Here we are here in the studio with Casey Mabry and myself, Ty De Cordova, and we are joined by Alex Thompson from where in Colorado again?

Alex Thompson:

Right now we're in Norwood, Colorado.

Ty deCordova:

Norwood, Colorado. She is Ambrooke is a new software keeping track of your stock. She's gonna explain all that to you in just a second. He trying to get all techy. I was really trying to get techy and I don't get techy very But no, we're joined with her, but we want to thank everybody for joining us today.

Ty deCordova:

Also, thank you, Alex, for joining us. You want to give us a little bit of a background of where you grew up, where you're from, the industry you grew up in, and kind of how you are, where you're at today?

Alex Thompson:

Absolutely. So first off, thank you guys so much for having me. My story is a little odd. I actually grew up in Rhode Island.

Casey Mabry:

First person I've ever met from Rhode Island.

Ty deCordova:

Me too. Nothing new. How do you you can't even get there from here.

Alex Thompson:

It's it's real hard to find. Sometimes you drive right by it.

Ty deCordova:

Okay. Yeah.

Alex Thompson:

But I grew up in Rhode Island, moved out to Colorado after college, and met my husband, who is a fifth generation rancher here in Norwood, had background with horses and grew up showing horses, but had never really been around cattle in my life and managed to fall in love with a cowboy and got a crash course pretty quickly. Then just sort of realized that I really like I loved it. So I worked in real estate for a while. I worked in some property management, ran a horse boarding facility for a while, and then saw the opportunity at Ambroke and realized that it was sort of an opportunity for me to work with and help other producers. So I jumped on that pretty quickly.

Alex Thompson:

A little bit about what my husband and I are doing now. So we are, like I said, in Norwood, Colorado. We raise a little bit of a mix of commercial and then some registered limousine and Limflex cows. We're at our home places that I think we're at about 7,600 feet. Cold.

Alex Thompson:

Our summer pasture. We run about 10,000. So that's kind of, you know, the limousine do really, really well up here, especially since black hided cattle tend to sell where we are a little bit better. So the limousine can handle a black hided and b, they can handle the altitude. So we do that.

Alex Thompson:

We raise some colts. We have some really great family in Texas that send us some really, really nice colts every year that we have a little bit of business doing and then some dogs, but mostly just cows and horses and everything that comes with it.

Ty deCordova:

Did you say 10, you, you, your summer at 10,000 feet?

Alex Thompson:

Yes, sir.

Ty deCordova:

Hey, that's high. I couldn't breathe up there. I had to walk about two steps. You definitely wheezing. Yeah.

Ty deCordova:

Yeah. So, well, that's cool. That's that. So you didn't grow up in livestock industry, but you grew to love it and now here you are, whether you liked it or not, you fell in love with a rancher and here we go. That's just She So of a typical

Casey Mabry:

in worse places though.

Ty deCordova:

She sounds like she's living a vacation. Yeah, she does. I mean, 10,000 feet, cows, has dogs and horses. I mean, I don't know what else you dream of.

Casey Mabry:

Yeah. So whenever you imagine that you're thinking about green grass at 10,000 feet, not

Casey Mabry:

10 foot snow driven.

Ty deCordova:

That's all I think about is 10,000 feet.

Alex Thompson:

I would say, you know, the one thing I could do with this, a vacation somewhere on an island.

Ty deCordova:

Yeah. Yeah. What a beach.

Alex Thompson:

Yeah. Exactly.

Ty deCordova:

Yeah. So, okay, now give us a little background on Amber. You are doing a really good job on targeting ads, it looks like, because every time I open my social media, I'm like, what is Amber? So I read through it and I see it and I'm like, it's pretty neat. You started seeing it ever since, Katie told me that we was going to do this with y'all.

Ty deCordova:

Every time I turn around, there's a Facebook feed or an Instagram feed or whatever, and it's Ambrooke, Ambrooke, Ambrooke. So kind of dove into it a little bit and it looks like a souped up version of QuickBooks to me that would really help a rancher and make it simple for a rancher and someone like simple minded as I am to understand that. Does that make sense?

Casey Mabry:

Yeah. Mean, you're in QuickBooks and you're part and you're not and you're in our

Ty deCordova:

business It's foreign.

Casey Mabry:

It's foreign. Foreign. Yeah. So yeah. So tell us about Ambroke.

Alex Thompson:

Yeah. Absolutely. So the first part of that question, we have some team members who are amazing with creatives that you've seen on Facebook. Other places, they do a really, really great job, and we're sort of glad that we're getting in front of the right people. But a little bit about Ambrooks.

Alex Thompson:

So we have three really, really great founders who sort of around the time of the pandemic were looking into some things that farmers and ranchers and American industry were really struggling with. And they were working, honestly, back then to help procure grants for farmers and ranchers. And sort of what they realized was, you know, we all run really balance sheet heavy businesses. And so you could go, you know, you can go look at my bank account tomorrow and you'd say, oh, goodness, like, that girl's got nothing. But, you know, everything we have is tied up in the equipment, the cows, the land, all of those fun things.

Alex Thompson:

So when you go and, you know, whether you're trying to get funding or a loan or a grant or anything like that, producers were having a really, really tough time kind of showing that they they could back it. So rather than, you know, try to fix the problem for each individual producer, they kind of started with what the real problem was, which is accounting and bookkeeping for agricultural businesses was not easy, and there wasn't a program out there that was useful for it, right? QuickBooks isn't designed to be balance sheet heavy, and a lot of the other accounting softwares aren't meant to be balance sheet heavy. So that's where they kind of came up with the idea of Ambrooke. One of the things that I always say is like, if you were running any other type of business and making the decisions that we make on any given day, there'd be an accountant, there'd be an analyst, there'd be a couple lawyers.

Alex Thompson:

I mean, when you're making big decisions for your business like ranchers make every day, you normally have this whole team. We obviously don't have that for most people in Ag, right? So Ambrooke can kind of be that and give you those numbers that that team, if you were running a Fortune 500 company gives you, you can have that information in Ambrooke so we can all make better decisions.

Ty deCordova:

So pretty much it'll simplify. It could be like us having our own financial team and all it is is an input. We input it in this Ambrooke system, and it does all the backside, the back office stuff for us. Yep. Come on.

Alex Thompson:

It's gonna turn it into any report that you might need, give you a look at, you can compare year over year, you can pull your balance sheet, you can pull your profit and loss, you can do a lot of even your payments, your processing through Ambrooke. So, it really simplifies, A, I mean, most importantly, it gives us more time to be focusing on what we should be focusing on, which is cattle, right? The more time that we have to either work cattle, talk about cattle, think about cattle, the better our decisions are going to be. So it saves us, I mean, it should save us all time by making your bookkeeping easier, cleaner, faster. And then on top of that, when you do need to go pull a report at the end of the year or you need to go get funding, it should be right there at your fingertips.

Casey Mabry:

Yeah. So the terminology when we're looking at it, I mean, you open it up and I mean, again, Ty and I've talked about this multiple times in different aspects of it. Most producers don't have finance backgrounds. There's obviously been some finance people that maybe gone into agriculture. But again, we're we're really good at producing.

Casey Mabry:

We're really good at managing our business and making sure that having all of these accounting things detailed and organized are good. If it's confusing and it's cumbersome and it's hard, we're probably not doing it. But you're saying Ambrooke has found us a way to make those things easier and the terminology fit farmers and ranchers more so than the other competing products out there from an accounting software standpoint.

Ty deCordova:

Your background, how's that what you do today, how's that helped you relate to your customers and and and to your target customers? I mean, you you live it every day today, so now you can walk them through it because you're on both sides of it.

Alex Thompson:

Definitely. I actually think, I mean, it's my favorite part of my job is that I get to spend, I was actually looking today, think I spent six hours today on face to face calls with our customers, right? And I get to sit there and talk about their operations, help set Brooke up to their operations so that way they can hop in and it's not a big cumbersome lift to do their bookkeeping. It should be easy, it should flow. So it's really awesome for me to get to talk to other producers all day.

Alex Thompson:

I will also say I've learned a ton from producers that we have on the platform. I mean, it's always sort of fun, right? We live out here sort of in the middle of nowhere. So it's always fun to get to talk to other producers in other parts of the country, see what they're doing. And then hopefully, I can bring a little bit of my expertise, a, with the product side and b, with how my husband and I have set our our operation on Ambra to help them get the most out of the platform.

Casey Mabry:

So that's something that's huge in my mind right there. Like, so think about it. In the world of AI, you know, and and where we're at, like, so you can get on Ambrooke and you're gonna be able to talk to Alex where we gotta set it up.

Ty deCordova:

Yeah. And the thing about it is it sounds like you can customize it to fit your program. It's not a not a cookie. You can customize your dashboard. You can customize everything about it and and she'll walk you through it.

Ty deCordova:

Am I hearing that right?

Alex Thompson:

Absolutely. So we work really with, I like to say, sort of American industry. So it's not just ag and ag adjacent, but majority ag and ag adjacent, but there's no two people who run their cows similar. There's no two people who really run their operation the same, and we're used to that. So, you know, come to us, tell us how you're doing it, and we can absolutely fit it to anybody's operation.

Ty deCordova:

She could kind of be your Alexa, but it's Alex. You can ask Alexa, but you ask Alex.

Casey Mabry:

Right. Yeah. And then she's got all your finance stuff. And she's got cows. And

Ty deCordova:

she got cows. And she's a and she's a human. Yeah. And then you can actually talk to her. Yeah.

Ty deCordova:

So we're not having

Alex Thompson:

to talk to he is going to be so excited because I have been Alexa in his phone since the day we met.

Casey Mabry:

That's funny.

Ty deCordova:

That's the

Alex Thompson:

exact reason.

Ty deCordova:

So, okay. So, hello, Alexa. How can you help me today? But I love the human aspect to it and the customize and that you can customize it to fit anybody's program.

Casey Mabry:

Yeah, that way you're not trying to take something else and try to make it fit this. It's like, it fits it, but All right, so Alex, how I mean, like You almost honor Alexa, didn't you? Ty, Ty mentioned earlier that it's been popping up over our social media and stuff like that as mine too. I think you guys have done a good job that besides that, like if I wanted to, trial, you guys have a trial program that somebody can run side by side. I know that if somebody and somebody's spouse or whatever has spent the last twenty six years managing it one way and it's been a pain and this is a better way, How do they, how do you get some, what would you suggest somebody to do?

Casey Mabry:

A, first one, there's somebody that's been doing this forever. So what's the easiest way to get in touch with you guys, do it and get started?

Alex Thompson:

Yeah. So go to the website, which is ambrook.com. Everybody gets a thirty day free trial in Ambrook. That thirty day free trial includes a call with someone like me to help you get set up. I would say, honestly, we're in a really great spot right now.

Alex Thompson:

So if you're up to the date on your books on 2025 and you're not panicking for tax season, start Anbrook now, try it now when it's not 2026 yet, right? So you have this month and a half that is not only a free trial in Anbrook, but it's also just a trial where you're not moving your whole bookkeeping system over and there's not super high stakes. So you can run them side by side, figure it out, figure out how you like your Anbrook setup, get every single question that you have answered, and then come 01/01/2026, you're off and running in your books.

Ty deCordova:

So if you haven't done it before.

Alex Thompson:

And you want

Ty deCordova:

to give us a you're at a buy,

Casey Mabry:

then you're waiting to the last minute.

Ty deCordova:

Say you're kind of like me and Casey and you're just lost and our books, book works look like, you know what, and you need something to fix it. How does that look?

Alex Thompson:

Do the same thing, but reach out and hit the schedule a call button a little bit sooner. Get on a call with one of us. So there's a couple different options there. So the first thing is to get on a call again with somebody like me who and we can talk through your situation, talk through where you are. There's a lot of tools in Ambroke that we can use to make automations, do bulk tagging, you know, really knock out big chunks of your bookkeeping all the way back to the beginning of the year relatively quickly.

Alex Thompson:

I know all those tricks, I'm happy to share them with everybody. We also have a couple different options where we do have plans where you can have either a specific person who's sort of helping you catch up, or catch up and plan for the future. So we're really, you know, think of us as your sort of partners in bookkeeping. The one, I mean, one of the things that I always say is like, we are all very aware that, I mean, me especially, like, I have better things to be doing than bookkeeping. We are very aware of that.

Alex Thompson:

So think of us as sort of like your partners in bookkeeping at Ambroke. You know, our goal is to make this easy, painless, quick, and like, let producers spend more time doing what we actually need to be doing. So we do have a couple of different plans where we can sort of jump in and help you. Or, you know, if you feel comfortable doing it yourself, you can just hop on again, like a call with me is included, and I can walk you through some of the ways that we can knock some of it out pretty quickly.

Ty deCordova:

So can you tie your bank accounts to this system? Do you have APIs that we can link that up? See, you did not knew that, did you? See, I got this. That right there.

Ty deCordova:

That was impressive, wasn't it? So do y'all have an API to hook up different banking structures to your Anbrook deal? Yep. Because that would have very, very helpful for me today. I was needing a set of wire and I texted my banker to send a wire this morning or yesterday And I get a phone call a while ago and no wire has been sent.

Ty deCordova:

So that could have been heady for me today.

Alex Thompson:

So we do have a payment system in Ambrooke. It's called Ambrooke Wallet. You can do kind of both ways. You can send payments so specifically like an ACH or a wire we can send from Ambroke Wallet. And you can, it's super easy to do that.

Alex Thompson:

You can actually just like send a picture, either email or scan a picture of a bill and then send the payment out.

Ty deCordova:

Yeah, but now I gotta call and talk to some service department to send a wire instead of getting on Ambroke and pushing a button. Yep. Yeah, I need to try this.

Alex Thompson:

You can do it all from your phone, your computer, whatever works best for you. I do a lot of my bookkeeping sitting in a side by side.

Ty deCordova:

Yeah.

Alex Thompson:

Typically, my husband and the dogs are off somewhere. Yeah. Normally, when I'm sitting in the side by side by myself and my husband and the dogs are off somewhere and I'm supposed to be

Casey Mabry:

standing. I've been tempted to sign them for, I mean, honestly, because I've seen it popping up my Facebook, but I'm like, I'm like, actually probably

Ty deCordova:

I'm probably not gonna be the one to size up for, but my wife is gonna get a crash course when I get home tonight and back and I'm gonna be phone Alexa and she'll she'll walk you through everything. So now this is neat. I'm I was I have been intrigued really. Y'all have done. I don't know who does your marketing or whatever, but you to pat them on the back because they they've they've been on their game for the last thirty days.

Ty deCordova:

So that's just

Casey Mabry:

Well, they know. They're in your brain and they know that you're

Ty deCordova:

Oh, great. I mean You're behind the eight ball. Yeah. I'm Yeah. Know me that they know I need it.

Ty deCordova:

Yeah. You know? But what else kind of we need to touch on there? Did we miss anything on on the special features of it or is there? Sounds like it's

Casey Mabry:

lot more simple than what we're

Ty deCordova:

talking It's way simple. It sounds like. Ambrooke.com, is that right? Uh-huh. Is it and and they can can they Email you direct or can they find you directly on that that site or or they

Alex Thompson:

Shoot just ask for an email to alexambrooke dot com is the easiest way to get in touch with me. Or there's sort of a a bunch of different places on the website where you'll get reached out to. We're a really, really small team. So even if it's not necessarily me, one of the other girls or people that'll reach out to you is like, you're in good hands. It's definitely one of the things that we are super proud of is we are all US based.

Alex Thompson:

So you will be speaking to somebody here.

Ty deCordova:

So so I don't have to learn how to speak another language to get this done. What you're

Casey Mabry:

gonna be talking to somebody who's got cows. That's which is cool.

Alex Thompson:

Yeah. So. Exactly.

Ty deCordova:

Now, she's she's from Rhode Island. Yeah. And that's kind of I don't know. Is it local?

Casey Mabry:

That's not local. That's yeah, I didn't know it was, yeah.

Ty deCordova:

Yeah, this is.

Casey Mabry:

It's up

Ty deCordova:

there in the up there

Casey Mabry:

in the up that. Yeah, in the in that thing. Okay. The arm.

Ty deCordova:

So, what did you do and I mean, we're going to get off topic for a second but it intrigued me. You said you grew up riding horses in Rhode Island. What what did you do? Were you was it a 100 jumper? Was it is that what it was?

Alex Thompson:

Yep. I was super, super lucky that I grew up. My mom rode her whole life and managed to show barn. I just kind of fell right into it and was really, really lucky to ride with some really great trainers up and down the East Coast and spent most of high school traveling to horse shows and doing all those fun things.

Casey Mabry:

Where did you go to college?

Alex Thompson:

Another really small school in a really small state. I went to Salve Regina University, which is in Rhode Island. It's a super small Catholic college or university in Rhode Island.

Ty deCordova:

Never heard of that.

Casey Mabry:

What'd you say it was called?

Alex Thompson:

Salve Regina.

Ty deCordova:

Salve Regina. Can you spell it? Okay.

Casey Mabry:

I'll probably get Regina.

Ty deCordova:

Regina, you get Regina. Right. Okay. Well, we we wanna thank you Alex for being on with us today. It's it's been awesome to visit with you.

Ty deCordova:

I know me and Casey can get a little silly sometimes, but the product that you aren't offering, it really looks like it's intriguing to me. I'm not BS ing about going home tonight and having my wife look into it because we do use QuickBooks right now, but sometimes it's not handy. And then with these banks changing up like they are, I mean, it's just so hard to get anything done with a person nowadays. It would be really handy to have a system like this that you can trust in that would tie to your bank account that you could send payments out and receive payments through and keep track of it as you do it. I mean, that's one thing that I really lack in is keeping track of all of our inventory and what cattle we got scattered around everywhere.

Ty deCordova:

And my banker, I'm a banker's nightmare. He hates to see me call, I think, but.

Casey Mabry:

I think you're not alone in that. So if there's something that makes life easier for all these guys.

Ty deCordova:

Yeah. And then if you can make this like this, as we talk to these different financial institutions on this show to educate other people about financial stuff, A system like this is what they love to see. If you show up to get a loan, if want to get a revolving line of credit to start your cattle business or whatever, if you show up with something like this and show them your records, they're gonna be like, oh, this guy, this gal knows what they're doing. They they they're they're on top of their stuff and so, we would really highly recommend doing something sort of like this. That it's it's an awesome product.

Alex Thompson:

I will say, I think the biggest benefit that it's been for my husband and I is being younger. Granted, his family's been in this for five generations, right? And there's a lot of really important knowledge there and a lot of really important things that have been passed down. But we're also sort of in a day, I think, ranching where there's more product, more help, more resources than we've ever had. And sometimes, you know, we're sitting there, we're like, want to, that seems like a really good idea.

Alex Thompson:

That's something that we really want to try. And in the past, we really didn't have a good way to measure that and to see if that like experiment was actually useful, right? We went to the sale barn and we had tried a different vaccination protocol. We went to the sale barn and we were like, well, we think it worked. We're like, we don't think it worked.

Alex Thompson:

The really great thing, my favorite thing about using Ambroek is the fact that I can now compare, hold onto the knowledge that is coming from, you know, Talon's grandfather and his parents, which is super valuable, and mix that and compare that with real numbers and these sort of experiments that we're trying as younger producers and sort of trying to make our whole here and kind of get a foothold, it's been really helpful to have Ehrenbrook and look and say like, hey, that worked or hey, you wanna, That was a really cool idea that we were both really excited about, but that one didn't actually pay off at the end of the year.

Ty deCordova:

Yeah. It can be data driven instead of emotional driven. And anything anytime you wanna measure those metrics, you want it to be data driven, not emotional driven. That's that's pretty cool. She lives it.

Ty deCordova:

She does live it every day. Yep. Yep. At ten, zero feet and she's cold.

Casey Mabry:

Yeah. I imagine it's cold right

Ty deCordova:

now.
