In this knockout interview, industry friends Camas Uebelacker and Jared Wareham talk about what it means to be first generation cattlemen. As we work through the specifics of what each of them pay attention to in the market - Camas in the cattle feeding segment and Jared in the cow-calf segment - we learn what it takes to make the best cattle buying decisions.

The two give key insights into what it takes to run a business and make it work, as they try to adapt and circumnavigate some of the challenges they may face with things like implants, vaccine protocols, and antibiotic usage in the future. The deeper the episode gets the heavier and more frank the topics.

Camas Uebelacker of C & G Cattle Co is also the President of the Washington Cattle Feeder's Association. Jared Wareham is the North American NuEra Business Development Manager for ABS Global and Drovers Author who spends time working on his own cow-calf operation in Missouri.
