Peter, PLEASE EXPLORE country of origin labeling for beef cattle. As a small producer of beef and lamb, it seems we receive so much negativity because of a global market. They say the rain forest is being burned off at a record pace for beef cattle production and Americans do not even have the option of knowing where the beef they buy originates. Country of Origin Labeling on beef packaging was eliminated in 2015

Having been raised in a small town, followed with a 10 year stint running a beef cattle ranch in AZ was an eye opening and extremely satisfying experience. As far back as the 1980s there was a market for range/grass fed cattle. No feed lot, corn fed, antibiotics added for these cattle. They brought top dollar at the livestock auction. Hopefully this trend will increase.

One cause of misunderstanding is because many families incorporate for tax reasons. So what is actually a family operation, often with 2 or more generations, gets classified as a corporate farm or ranch.

Late 2020 when Colombia reopened for travel I went to spend some time in rural remote mountainous area with a friend who has family members who are farmers & cattle ranchers. What a lovely experience. Eating fresh food, breathing clean air, swimming in a small river on their property, not wearing mask. I was like I need to live in a farm.

I recently moved from Birmingham England the UKs 2nd biggest city population in the millions and it was the same there. Crime everywhere, people had no respect or time for each other etc, then we sold up and moved too a small market town in rural Worcestershire a very rural county too a small village population less than a thousand people, and everyone looks out for each other. Ok everyone knows your business, but we feel safe, are safer, our kids can play out in the full knowledge everyone knows who’s kids they are and some adult is keeping a eye on them. Every month we have a community get together in the town hall where people bring in their home made produce cakes, pies etc and sell them onto other village folk, it’s feels so comfortable and welcoming. I would never live in a big city again, where people only care about themselves and don’t even know their neighbours names.

We had a 3-Generation cattle ranch in between Lamar and Springfield. After my grandma and dad passed away within a few months of one another it was left to me…but the bills were massive and I lost it around 2012.

Peter, watching from Australia where my family has farmed for nearly one hundred years. So much of what was said there is so similar. I met my wife, a city girl through my sister. We farm on with a great love of the land and our animals. Blaming animals for climate change, what a cop out. We who have built huge cities, covering so much up with suburbier, littered and destroyed, live as there is no tomorrow and then contribute our troubles to animals that provide so much to sustain us. When I was young diversity of opinion was encouraged and respected, now it seems we are all meant to think alike. And yes, country folk are often thought of as not so well educated and somewhat slow. Thankyou for your video.

A couple of years ago I wrote a book titled "On the Farm - The Uncertain Future of an American Legacy." I believe that farmers and ranchers use best management practices, as was discussed in the video are are some of the last people in America who are very connected with nature and natural resource management.

Seriously, this is some of the best journalism around. A wonderful story, with awesome people living a real life. I grew up and still own a cattle ranch. I've traveled/ lived abroad. I even lived and worked in SF for 14 years. The one difference I encountered is once I was able to personally illustrate working/living the ranch lifestyle to most of my friends in SF they found it somewhat admirable. Very similar to what Peter is doing here on a broader scale. My advice to the daughter at CU, continue to be positive and people will see you as a someone unique and special.

I just happened upon this video and am SO happy I did. I have a long line of cattle ranchers in my lineage, including my dad, who was a real cowboy in Southeastern Arizona. I was raised in a suburb of Los Angeles, but got to see small bits of my dad's childhood while visiting my uncle's ranch, which is made up of our family land. The cattle industry is so misunderstood and so vital to our ecological growth and management. Long live the cattle ranchers and their tasty grass-fed, grass-finished steaks!

I haven’t eaten one scrap of animal product in 10 years and I’m doing great. Just walked 400 miles across Arizona. I invite any of you meat eaters to get out of your pickups and join me. Food systems based on animals are cruel when scaled up as they are today. It’s violence on a mass scale done to innocent beings like your dog. Next time you go to a rodeo, substitute your dog for the calf and see if it’s still entertaining. If you don’t think so then you believe rodeo is cruel. An animal is not less valuable just because you want to eat him or her

As someone from Amish Country, this is the kind of message we need out there. People don't realize that being "progressive" and "of the land" means you have to know where your food grew up, lived, and died. Too much of that has been lost. TY Amish farmstands around Lancaster Pa and the Coop my family has bought into for beef and pork the past 5 years lmao!

Hi Berke

This story needs to go national! Thank you for presenting the facts.

This was one of the best pieces I’ve watched of any type on any channel! Bravo! Here’s to mutual respect, which is so sorely lacking in this day of shove-it-down-your-throat narrative. I love this family’s view that outreach and transparency is the key. I wish I had more faith that anyone would listen, since listening seems to be such a lost art. Kudos to the university student who is so outnumbered yet stands in the truth- what an amazing young woman she is! The biggest problem is that students go to college to learn how to think but are taught what to think instead.

I am absolutely hooked on your videos! So informative and educational. Thank you!!!!

Awesome video, thank you for shining the light on ranchers!

I feel like peter might supply the best voice for rural people anywhere in the media.

Amazing family Thanks for welcoming us into your homes and ranch. And thank you for all your hard work

Maybe you should arrange a visit with Mike and Erin from Our Wyoming Life. They are all about getting the public to understand where food comes from.

I love your respectful approach to these stories, Peter. Keep up the good work!

Just remember asia people don't eat much meat and they live 20 years longer then Americans

IT ALL STARTS WITH KNOWLEDGE! Such a very informative explanation of what we do. All my animals are always taken good care of. God bless this ranching family for such an awesome video. Thank you Peter for what you do in making a difference of understanding in the presentation of all your videos. P.S. Amy from Hippy to Cowgirl such an intelligent way of transforming into what you do "Impressive". Ranching Forever.

Bless them with what? Their ultimate reward is heaven yet they are avoiding it.

This is definitely one of the best American culture channels on KZread. It’s wild what you think you know until you see how different everything really is.. between Texas through Arizona in the south/southwest there’s so many cultures most of us that grew up in the north never get to see about. Thanks for the awesome videos! Just moved to Arizona and watched the Navajo series can’t wait to visit.

Peter thanks for informing the masses on how things really work and giving these people a voice!

WE ALL NEED THIS!

this is a good channel, very much necessary in our times. thanks Peter, keep em coming.

To me, this episode has to be one the most important and interesting topics that is going on in USA. Thanks!

Recently found your channel. I really appreciate what you are doing showing parts of our nation through the eyes of the real people who too often are being overlooked and marginalized. In this video the question was asked “What would you advise someone from California before coming to this area?”. I believe that the answer to this question would be to go into your new environment with an open mind and try to see things from another perspective and have honest, respectful dialog about the differences. To me that is what made “My America Great” and what we have lost. Thanks for what I see is an honest and non biased telling of these great stories. Andy Moore Mississippi

I love hearing the perspectives from the source. Great video. I come from a family of farmers. My mother and aunt were the first to leave that life but the richness of their upbringing on a dairy farm and surrounded by farms still resonates in them today.

"Mutual respect. Understand where people are coming from." You hit 🎯 the target with that statement Peter. So sorely packing in today's divisive, me focused culture.

Peter, after the Amish series, the 06 Ranch, and now with Cowboys and Cowgirls, I am becoming more and more disconnected from my world where I worked in government agencies for many years... Thanks for that...

Love your work Peter!! Keep it up man!!

No idea how you keep finding these interesting stories / ideas about what to "investigate". But keep doing it! :)

Another great view of life on the ranch and just how our meat is raised and treated. Not what many believe is real. Telling these stories as you do, I always learn something about people and how they treat other people and animals. Thanks for sharing.

Peter, all your videos are informative, but I like this one the best. I grew up on a farm - chickens, pigs, and tending a huge garden. Then at 14, I was hired to work on another farm that used horses and not a tractor. I milked cows by hand - 15 in the morning and 15 at night. We hayed it by hand, and we loaded and spread manure by hand, and I was paid 10 dollars a week room and board, and I thought I was a rich man. Today, I'm a published author inserting my experiences into each story I write.

Thanks again, Peter. The dinner table conversations that you show are the reality that we need to hear.

What an awesome interview. I love cowboys.!

So nice👍

Very insightful. The work you are doing is amazing. Must mention, when the daughter was speaking at the table I thought "if this was my daughter I would be so proud". Smart and intellectual.

Great presentation. Great information. Hopefully, their message will spread !

I think most people can agree that this kind of ranch farming is no problem were cows are grass fed. But the majority of the cows in the U.S. is held in feedlots in the last months of their lives, they are fed genetically engineered grain and given hormones to grow faster. Those factory farms indeed I consider to be a problem and they are not in the ecological cycle like this ranch shown in the video. These ranch people shown here are very nice and thoughtful people!

Well that's how you get the best quality of meat. Everything has been genetically modified from the corn you eat to the grain they eat. Genetically modified grains are just heartier, grow faster and produce more. Should we end it all lower overall production and quality. I think not.

He said his cattle are held in feedlots for months before they are butchered. All farms do that unless they state Grass fed only. You get a smaller less marbled cow without grain.

Really enjoyed the conversation around the kitchen table. I agree with the farmers and ranchers on the way they live, raise their livestock etc. It's nature therefore it's natural. More and more people from the cities want these little homesteads and raising animals because they want their food to be healthy and know how the animals are being treated and what they are eating. God Bless, another great one!

She is so right! It feels scary to put the name of your town out there when is so great because of the fear bad people moving there. Totally get the feeling!

Theres lots of these small towns out in Eastern Colorado but they do need people to move out there especially young people just like her and I don't think she has to worry about bad people moving in you reallly have to be dedicated to move and stay out there
