That’s our hamburger today. Can you direct me on first containment of same and lastly, where would you direct me on getting this started. I do understand cattle, not a farmer, but have been involved with cattle. Thanks Scott

I fully enjoyed and celebrate very much people like Mr. and Mrs. O’brien who understand the importance of preserving our natural world with environmentally friendly farming practices. I would love to be able to visit a place like their ranch in my lifetime. Being from a small Caribbean Island like Cuba it is hard for me to wrasp the concept of vast open country like that of the South Dakota prairies. Great article again!
