Angus Underground

It’s a People Business

Episode Notes

The crew kicks things off with a chat about how social media has been making waves in the cattle industry. Plus, Joe sets the record straight on something he mentioned in a past episode — we all want new customers, just the right ones. Then, the buzz in the cattle world right now is all about the World Angus Evaluation. This leads to a conversation about fine-tuning post-sale logistics and remembering that at the end of the day, it’s all about the people and those long-lasting relationships. To wrap it up, the guys give a special shout-out to some of their customers, mentors, and friends in the Angus community.
