Are there very many pictures as pretty as a brand-new stretch of barbwire fence? Posts perfectly straight, wire absolutely level and slick cattle grazing on the right side of the fence complete that image in my mind. 

But have you ever stopped to think about what has to go on behind the scenes to make that view possible? It doesn’t just start with the early morning start on loading supplies or the inevitable family event missed because of wayward mammals. Is doesn’t even start with the drive into town or checking out at your local farm store. The story begins with a group of people somewhere in the world who take pride in producing a product that cattlemen rely on. 

On this episode of Angus at Work we welcome you to listen in as we visit with Bradley Burchfield, a member of the Agricultural Inside Sales Team at OKBrand, to discuss:

•  The history of the company,
• How different types of fencing are manufactured,
• The importance of buying U.S.-made products,
• Why the people who work at OKBrand make all the difference,
• And more!

A huge thank you to Purina for their sponsorship of this episode.
