In this episode of Barnyard Language, Caite and Arlene talk about ranching and parenting with Calli Williams, a first-generation rancher from South Dakota. Calli discusses the challenges and rewards of running a purebred Angus cattle operation with her husband. They delve into the importance of building relationships, effectively managing a direct-to-consumer beef business, and balancing family life with ranch duties. Calli also shares insights into overcoming a serious farm accident involving her husband and how they coped as a family. The episode highlights the nuances of farm life, raising children amidst agricultural responsibilities, and the importance of time management, community support, and maintaining a positive outlook.
