It was a job, that’s how I viewed it. My summer gig was running yearlings, and I hope we lease more places up here.” - Karoline Rose Bohannan

      Every rancher has a season that pushes them to grow. For Karoline, it was this one — stepping into securing leased land and running yearlings on her own for the first time, learning more than she expected along the way.

      From locking down a lease in less than 30 days to fencing miles of country and managing cattle through a Montana summer, Karoline shares what it really takes to make a yearling lease work. She talks through the numbers and the surprises — all with the kind of honesty and humor that make every story worth hearing.

      What You’ll Learn in This Episode
      • How she sourced grants and loans to make it happen
        • Pros and cons of the property — from great forage to poor fences and sinkholes
          • The benefits of running spayed heifers and the logistics that come with it
            • Real talk on costs: fencing, health, trucking, and feed supplements
              • Dealing with death loss and day-to-day cattle health management
