## Resource

In our debut episode, two working ranchers sit down for honest talk about what’s hitting operations right now. We cover the current drought conditions and how it’s affecting grass and stocking rates, riding the all-time high cattle markets, key takeaways from the Levi Jordan interview, and what the recent JBS Greeley plant reopening means for cattle prices and producers like us. Real rancher dialogue, no fluff, just practical insights from the pasture.
