The farming and ranching Industry leads the world in suicide rates and is nearly double that of other industries, however very little is tracked or discussed here in the United States. I’m sure we all know someone who’s fallen victim and I often reflect on a couple of men I knew myself. Mental health is a serious issue among farmers and ranchers please take it seriously and don’t be afraid or too proud to talk to someone about it. We’ll have links to information and help in today’s show notes.

Welcome back to another episode of Brands and Barbed Wire. Today’s guest is an iconic figure in the beef cattle business, especially in Angus circles. He’s most well known as the managing partner at Wehrman Angus here in VA, but we’ll get into lots of other interesting stories about today’s guest Richard McClung. Many have said they broke the mold when they made Richard McClung and I’d have to agree.
