Is Having Great Cattle Enough? How Service, Family Relationships Sell Bulls
Adapted from a release by Miranda Reiman, senior associate editor, Angus Journal
A month or two out from the bull sale day, Kenny Hinkle, Hinkle’s Prime Cut Angus, used to start worrying about how to get people to there.
Hinkle, who raises cattle near Nevada, Mo., with his wife, Janyce, and their family, says, “For years I didn’t think about marketing around the clock. I mean, [now] we just don't stop it.”
He recently joined fellow breeder Smitty Lamb on The Angus Conversation to talk about lessons they learned the hard way. “Is Having Great Cattle Enough? How Service, Family Relationships Sell Bulls,” dropped on all major podcast platforms today.
