Calfschwitz: Hell on Earth for baby cows
Sky-Jack Podcast #67: Tues., March 3rd, 2026
Grimmius Cattle Company in California’s Central Valley (south of Fresno) boasts the largest number of baby cows in the state: 200,000 bovine souls, all separated from their mothers just days after birth.
Trucked in from dozens of smaller “farms,” Grimmius ‘processes’ all these calves in various ways… then trucks them back to those “farms” to be milked — or off to their deaths for meat.
Grimmius is the missing link between “small family farms” which meat-eaters and milk-drinkers think are good, and the giant feedlots most people think are bad. We expose this grim story and what it says about the industry. And us.

Cow Wars: The Cattle Empire Strikes Back
Sky-Jack Podcast #66: Tues., Feb. 24th, 2026
For years, the science has shown that raising cows for human consumption — beef & dairy businesses both large and local — are massive contributors to global warming, ocean dead zones, deforestation and more.
But the cattle empire is fighting back, including, more recently with the, uh, bull of “regenerative ranching.” It’s the “clean coal” of the cattle industry, claiming that what’s awful for land, waterways and the atmosphere is actually good for the planet.
You gotta give ’em credit for being absolutely shameless in their outright lies. The industry’s disinformation campaigns are disseminated internationally — and right here in the SF Bay Area. We show and hear some examples sure to entertain…

Beauty or the Bestiality?
Sky-Jack Podcast #65: Tuesday, Feb. 17th, 2026
The persistence of industry propaganda
What do you see — and think and feel — when you drive by rolling green hillsides with happy, black & white “Ben & Jerry’s” cows munchin’ on grass beneath blue skies? Think it’s a food system as pretty as a picture?
If so, we bet you don’t know the brutality beneath this surface. You owe it to yourself — and to those “happy” cows — to learn the carefully hidden truths. On our next Sky-Jack. The truth will set them free.

A Point Reyes Park COW UPDATE:
Still here today. Still here tomorrow.
Sky-Jack Podcast #64: Tuesday, Feb. 10th, 2026
14 months ago an historic settlement was reached, all parties agreeing that ranchers would surrender their leases in this national park — AND BE PAID MILLIONS of dollars. Which would finally, after a century+ history of massive manure and methane pollution.
With less than 2 months to go to the April 2026 deadline to vacate, hundreds of cows are still fouling the public’s land, water and air.
And even if/when these hundreds of (“beef”) cows go, The Nature “Conservancy” (which put up $30-40 million to pay these polluters to leave) plans to bring in MORE cows to, they claim, “restore” the damage done by cows in the first place. WTF?
Tune in for our update and bring your questions.

Ai Robots Will Fix EVERYTHING!
Sky-Jack Podcast #63: Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2026
New technologies will solve all our problems. This time. Really.
An increasing number of tech billionaires like Bill Gates and Sam Altman are jumping on the Musk-Trump huckster train, selling you the moon and the stars (and Mars). They promise that their new and future technologies will solve all our problems if only we all take their word for it, buy in and invest in them.
Wealth disparity, overwork, wealth and job creation, even the climate crisis, world hunger and war — all gone! These are all problems that will be solved for us by our tech innovations, especially Ai, a higher, non-human intelligence that will do our human bidding.
Are you buying it yet this time again?

Animal vs. Human Intelligence – Who’s Actually Smarter?
Sky-Jack Podcast #62: 9am Tuesday, Jan. 27, 2026
Animal vs. Human Intelligence – Who’s Actually Smarter?
A new ‘revelatory’ study about a cow who has learned to scratch herself with a broomstick is blowing the big minds of animal intelligence researchers — while simultaneously revealing how biased, anthropocentric and well, just plain dumb, we humans can be.
As a book on this topic puts it in the title, “Are We Smart Enough To Know How Smart Animals Are?” The answer is still, “mostly not.” Join us as we flex our big, superior human brains and try to prove we’re not as stupid as many of our fellow humans are about how smart animals really are.

The World Is Not Enough — for Cattle Ranchers
Sky-Jack Podcast #61: Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2026
If you’ve been listening to our show, you know we often (continually?) call out beef & dairy ranchers in Point Reyes National Park for how much they pollute — and for not giving a hoot about it. And also for their bald-faced lying about their dirty, killer business.
This week we broaden our reach, delving into a new Pro Public report. The rot is not only deeper than you thought, it’s waaaay more widespread too.
If you care about the environment, or if you just care about your MONEY, learn the truth about just how big the cattleman’s load of bull is.
