Realizing that most people don't understand the role that cattle and sheep play in sequestering carbon, fertilizing the ground, breaking the surface crust to prevent runoff, reducing fuel loads to prevent catastrophic fires, and creating high quality protein from grass, I recently made a phone call to 1-800-GOT-RICH.

| REBUILD COW HERD WITH IMPROVED BEEFMASTER FEMALES |
| 05/23/2013 03:41 PM |
|
It is clear that the US beef cow population is as low as ever. The prolonged drought across the nation, high feed costs and other competition for the land use has certainly changed the dynamics of the beef industry as we once knew it to be. The traditional ten year beef market cycle may be challenged moving forward. These interesting dynamics lead me to believe that there is a tremendous opportunity awaiting us in the beef cattle industry. More specifically, Beefmaster cattle should be part of the upcoming herd rebuilding that is bound to occur sooner than later.

Some people are just an accident waiting to happen. Take my friend ReRide for example. Getting hurt is ReRide's “achilles heel,” which is about the only part of his body he hasn't broken, strained, cut, burned or shattered.
