Quotes:

“Right at the brink of failure is when the biggest breakthroughs happen.”

“I feel an obligation to my customers. I want to make sure that I’m giving the right kind of cattle more than anything.”

“You need to know where you’ve been to know where you’re going.”

“Never underestimate when and where you can have an impact on someone’s life.”

“It’s hard to divorce my ‘why’ from my breeding philosophies. It’s a passion that’s rooted in a deep commitment that’s almost spiritual with our customers. And it’s that way because they’re my family and my friends.”

“I think there’s something you can learn from everyone’s program — whether you agree with them philosophically or not. There are nuggets that you can pick from every program — and that’s what I love about this business. It truly is a people business.”
