Quotes:“We’ve come a long way in this breed because I don’t think I could tolerate the frustration that he (dad) dealt with at that time.” — Rob“I judge a lot of people that I want to deal with by their breeding philosophy. I think that’s very important.” — Rob“I think part of my philosophy is that I set my bar very high for my cows. The cows are the most important thing that I do.” — Rob“We’ve had these multi-generational relationships with ranchers who are in our local to regional area. That plays very much into where I think this is going and how one should set themselves up to succeed.” — David“There’s nothing like the independent producer to keep us resilient through our diversity of thought or diversity of production.” — Joe Learn more about our sponsor, Montana Ranch, by visiting MontanaRanchAngus.com.
