Why Is America Losing Its Ranches?

SDPB

In The Moment ... October 31, 2019 Show 691 Hour 2

Why is America losing its ranches? That was the title of Bill Bullard's presentation to the South Dakota Stockgrowers Association at their 128th annual Convention and Trade Show at the Rushmore Plaza Holiday Inn in Rapid City. His talk was sponsored by Ft. Pierre Livestock.

Bullard, a former cattle rancher in Perkins County, is the CEO of R-CALF USA, an organization that represents the U.S. cattle industry in trade, marketing, and private property rights issues to ensure the continued profitability and viability of independent producers.
