“EVERYDAY I READ …?
The Bible and a letter from my dad that I keep in my Bible. He sent me the letter two weeks after I started law school in 1981. He told how proud he was of me, he refreshed my memory to wake up early, he reminded me that work is a blessing, he encouraged me to never let others pull me down, he told me to never give up, and he said he loved me no matter what and that God has a plan for my life. WHAT HAS BEEN THE BEST ADVICE YOU’VE RECEIVED FROM RANCHERS IN YOUR FAMILY?
It is funny that several family members and others have shared with me that this [large-scale breeding] business
would never work. They feel like the “cattle industry” is not one that lends itself to success and that agriculture is under attack. We just believe in our mission of helping ranchers be successful by producing a premium product through the use of our Angus genetics rather than just producing a commodity. WHAT’S THE BEST THING ABOUT YOUR JOB?
The men and women of 44 Farms. I love them all. They have come here from around the U.S. with different backgrounds and experiences, yet it really works. There is great respect within the team, and we all share the desire to serve our customers.
over 2,000 calves were born at the farm in 2016
