Angus Underground

Lessons Learned

Episode Notes

The crew has three entertaining segments lined up for this week. Initially, they define what’s really on the pedigree page, exploring ways to enhance transparency in data, and unraveling the reasons behind the prevailing secrecy. Following that, they respond to a listener’s question, reflecting on the errors they’ve made in their careers that ultimately contributed to their growth and transformation into better cattlemen. To wrap things up, the team engages in a fun segment titled “What's In Your Tank,” discussing their most frequently used bulls, go-to choices, the most unique ones, and much more.
