## Resource

When you think about the U.S. cattle industry, Pennsylvania probably isn’t the first state that comes to mind. Amanda Butterfield joins Lauren today on the Cattle USA Daily Podcast to share what beef production looks like in western Pennsylvania, how she and her husband built a first-generation operation to more than 100 brood cows, and why the Eastern U.S. deserves a bigger place in the cattle industry conversation. Amanda also dives into Pennsylvania’s unique production environment, the challenges of farming near growing populations, the recent changes to the state’s beef processing infrastructure, and Beefing Up Backpacks , a program providing beef sticks to food-insecure children while creating a new market for beef.
