Show Notes
David welcomes Jake Phillips from Australia, who shares his experience learning about the U.S. beef cattle industry through an extensive sponsored trip. Jake details his five-week trip across the U.S., including visits to renowned seedstock operations, universities, cattle conferences, and more. He and David talk about the importance of networking, lessons learned in operation culture and character, and the reminder that often the quality of the cattle is really correlated to the quality of the people.
