In this episode, Wal opens up about the backgrounding process used at ‘The Mount’ for cattle entering the feedlot, what a normal day managing 4,000 head of cattle looks like, and discusses the improvements made at 'The Mount' while he's been there and why improving infrastructure is a priority for him.
