I have over thirty years of intense livestock experience. I understand how to get a livestock product from gate to plate, and every step of the process. This includes HACCP and Process Controls.
I have a passion for management and production. I like the challenge of can we do it better, more efficient and for less cost.
I have experience with regenerative agriculture, using livestock to replenish and rebuild the soils.
