tough career choice, one that requires round-the-clock attention and
long days of hard labor. However, a growing number of young people,
including myself, are finding a way to be involved in production
agriculture while pursuing exciting careers that help supplement their
cattle businesses. So, is it possible to have your cake and eat it, too?

Pollan's account of a steer's path to market, is rolling out Restoration
Raw, a blend of raw grass-fed beef, sprouted grains, trace minerals and
vitamins. The product came about after Churchill hired Will Winter, a
holistic veterinarian formerly of the Uptown Veterinarian, to be herd
