Angus Underground

What Commercial Cattlemen Really Want with George Chambers

Episode Notes

David, Joe, and Korbin give an update from their corner of the world and hope that the record-breaking April blizzard in the Northern Plains brings rain sooner rather than later. They then read some of the great feedback they’ve gotten from a recent episode and welcome George Chambers of the Southern Cross Ranch in Carrollton, Georgia, where he also serves as county commissioner. The guys chat about the 30-month rule, and George gives the history behind the ranch and the genetics program, along with great life lessons about always moving forward. Finally, we hear who really is the boss behind it all (hint: It’s not George!).
