Welcome back to another episode of Brands and Barbed Wire.   This week on Brands and Barbed Wire, I was honored to be asked to guest host a new podcast called The Future of Beef.  So Martha and I jumped on a plane and flew to Austin TX to meet Ian and Suzy Wheal of Breedr and collaborate on their new project called The Future of Beef.   We decided to share their first episode on Brands and Barbed Wire.  We hope you enjoy and we’ll be back to regularly scheduled Brands and Barbed Wire content shortly.   For more information on the Future of Beef visits www.thefutureofbeef.com.
