The Next Generation: A Series Featuring Millennials on the Ranch

For years now we’ve seen statistic after statistic that shows how the dynamics of the family ranch/farm are changing. The size of these operations are changing, the average age of the people in control are only getting older, and some farms and ranches are just flat out disappearing.

Not too long ago I was given an opportunity to speak to some young cattlemen and women that represented the state of California (pictured above). It was an experience I won’t forget; one that has changed my view on all the statistics and given me more than hope for the next generation.

Over the next month or so, I plan to spotlight some of these motivated individuals to show you all what it is that I learned. I hope that you will join me on this journey and I promise you won’t regret it if you do 🙂

For now I will leave you with this inspiring video from a young cattlewoman. You can take it as a hint for the first gal I will be featuring in this series. Great work, Gabriella. Your industry is so dang proud of you!
