A shortage of rural veterinarians has become a major challenge facing livestock producers across the West. But what can be done to reverse the trend?

This week on Next Year Country, Colton Young, Colter Brown, and Andy Schwab are joined by Montana legislators Rep. Randyn Gregg of White Sulphur Springs and Sen. Wylie Galt of Martinsdale to discuss the growing shortage of large animal veterinarians, what's driving the problem, and potential legislative solutions to help ensure ranchers have access to the veterinary care they depend on.

The crew also breaks down the record-setting summer video calf market, how grain prices and cost of gain are shaping up, a new federal initiative aimed at encouraging regenerative agriculture practices, and what this year's Fourth of July cookout says about food prices and the farmer's share of the consumer food dollar.
