## Resource

On today’s episode of the Cattle USA Daily Podcast, your host Lauren Moylan welcomes Robert Nantz, a North Central Texas rancher. Robert shares the trial and error behind huge growth and how technology, economies of scale, grazing management, and a focus on profitability have helped create more time and financial freedom on the ranch. Robert discusses learning what actually works, evaluating expenses, choosing cattle, and making management decisions based on the how, not just the cow. He also explains how halter collars, GPS monitoring, and electronic tags have helped with large herds, grazing, labor, and landowner relationships.
