Saved my favorite for last. Big money ranch operation here in Buchanan, GA, that practices paddock rotational grazing for beef cattle every three days verses conventional free range grazing. “How is this possible?” I ask. Josh Cabe at White Hawk Ranch explains. “If you have a man sitting in a chair all day tamed on food to the max, he’s less capable of performing in the field; in other words, the bull has no energy to fool around with 40 cows.” By the way, Josh was number one four years straight in agriculture for the state of GA back in the day. What makes the big difference here at White Hawk Ranch is how you treat your animals. Beautiful black-face and white Angus performance bulls selling for $5,000 at 18 months of age. Their female counterparts sell higher at eight grand. Did I mention that White Hawk also sells their bull semen threads and cow embryos? Watch out White Hawk!
Did I tell you that I lived and worked on a beef cattle ranch and tobacco farm through high school and through seven years of nursing school? It was hard manual work.
