Episode Synopsis
Welcome back to the American Cattlemen Podcast. Just ahead, we have Gale McKinney, He's the owner of the American Cattlemen, and he sits down with Larry Gran, the VP of Genetic Services for Jorgensen Land and Cattle, and Nichole Bechtel with Moly Manufacturing. Beef and Greet emerged as an innovative platform designed to bring beef producers together from across the United States. The primary goal extends beyond simply showcasing equipment and genetics; it's about creating meaningful connections among cattlemen, facilitating discussions about industry challenges, sharing potential solutions, and gaining new connections.

The organizers are strategic about growth, aiming to maintain an intimate setting that allows for genuine interaction, with an ideal participant range of 150 to 200 producers.
The 2025 event promises an engaging agenda, including tours of the 808 Ranch and Vance Keaton's property, discussions about JLC's genetic programs, and an evening entertainment featuring singer-songwriter Claire Dunn. The organizers are committed to a regional approach, carefully curating participants who can contribute meaningful insights and learn from one another.
Looking forward, the Beef and Greet team is exploring potential locations for future events, emphasizing the importance of accessibility and meaningful engagement. They are passionate about creating an environment where beef producers can network, share experiences, and collectively advance the industry.
The podcast highlighted the event's organic growth, driven by a genuine desire to strengthen connections within the beef production community.
