Most of Us Live in 'Cattle Country'

On a quick family drive to Louisiana over Labor Day weekend, it became very evident just how far-reaching the cattle industry is. This is something that is not new or surprising to me -- beef cow numbers are evident in every state of the nation. However, this trip was a good reminder of just how uniform and diverse the cattle industry is, even at a time when "social distancing" is the norm, and wide-ranging travel and movement outside of our normal every day routine is limited.
