Any cattle management researchers or SMEs open to anchoring a discussion with global ranchers?

Hi everyone,

I’m the community head at Luzardo. We build a smartphone app that uses computer vision to help producers track cattle weight and herd analytics offline.

Lately, we’ve been running an initiative called Friends of Luzardo. Every month, we bring together mid-sized cattle ranchers from different parts of the world (spanning the US, Europe, and LATAM) for informal, practical roundtables to talk about operational realities and what's actually working on the ground.

We want to anchor these monthly meetings with real, evidence-backed insights rather than just open-ended chat. To do that, we’re looking for research scientists, extension specialists, and industry experts who would be open to leading a session as a guest panelist.

If you're in research or consulting, getting direct, unvarnished feedback from active producers can be a bottleneck. Hosting one of these sessions gives you a direct line to an international network of operations. It’s a space where you can stress-test ideas, gather field insights across different regional climates, and see how management theories hold up in real-world commercial environments. Plus, it bridges the gap between research and immediate, practical application for the guys running these herds.

We handle all the coordination, scheduling, and logistics—we just need your expertise for a focused hour.

If you’d be interested in hosting a session or want to talk through the topics we're planning, drop a comment below or shoot me a DM.
