Kim Howard | Doubling Down at Black Jack Ranch | Ya Gotta Eat #13

Before she raised some of the finest Wagyu beef in the South, Kim Howard was walking the streets of Los Angeles as an LAPD officer — and earning the Medal of Valor to prove it. Now she runs Black Jack Ranch in Wiggins, Mississippi, where her expertise in cattle breeding and harvesting has helped her build something truly rare: a Wagyu operation with the kind of depth and intention that only comes from someone who's spent a lifetime mastering difficult crafts.In Episode 13 of Ya Gotta Eat, Robert St. John and Drew Wooton sit down with Kim at Black Jack Ranch to talk cattle, culture, and what it means to do something the right way. From bloodlines and breeding philosophy to the art of the butcher and yes, the burgers.
