I think it’s so fun that we can disagree about biological types or environments or any number of things or EPDs, but this passion for Angus cattle can transcend generations, personalities, and environments.”“Whenever we get caught up in trying to divide ourselves in the differences, we need to remember the thread that unites us is the Angus cow.”“That’s really the first step I think into building a herd is building your identity within that herd.” Learn more about our sponsor, Montana Ranch, by visiting MontanaRanchAngus.com.
