Jimmy and ShayLe Stewart of Big Country Genetics have scaled their operation from scratch. This December they will sell 130 forage developed bulls and 100 bred heifers. They started in 2019.

The deck has been stacked against grass and specifically grazing animals for a while now.

AJ Munger has been involved in the development of this legislation. He joins me to discuss the process of bringing this legislation as well as what it seeks to accomplish and how it could help grow the cow herd in the United States.Sponsors:Big Country GeneticsRanch RightGraze!

In a previous conversation with Luke Jones he told me that healthy soil has room for air, light, and water.
