They would not be 5th generation farmers if it was not a rewarding occupation, even though farmers are under a concerted attack from all angles right now.
I am so impressed. You interviewed real cattle/farm people. So often I have felt interviews such as this one involve some rich outfit that is miles removed from the people who actually produce our food or homestead type folks. We raise and breed heifers and have been getting the Bangs shot (calf hood vaccination). My son mentioned that the metal tags have been replaced with a little plastic button. Did not dawn on me that these buttons are data collection instruments. We will simply stop getting the bangs shot. No one ask about it anyway. The only other comment would be that the Bazos Earth fund donation to the Angus association for the study of methane was not mentioned. Big deal! Thank you for the interview.
I think they are one more way to extract money from hard working farm/ranch people. Check out Pharo cattle company. They have herds that have had no chemical intervention for more than 20 years now. We started using Pharo bulls in 2018 and are slowly integrating these genetics into our herd. By the way, we sell bred heifers.
