David, Joe, and Korbin give an update from their corner of the world and hope that the record-breaking April blizzard in the Northern Plains brings rain sooner rather than later. They then read some of the great feedback they’ve gotten from a recent episode and welcome George Chambers of the Southern Cross Ranch in Carrollton, Georgia, where he also serves as county commissioner. The guys chat about the 30-month rule, and George gives the history behind the ranch and the genetics program, along with great life lessons about always moving forward. Finally, we hear who really is the boss behind it all (hint: It’s not George!).

Quotes:
“Farmers and ranchers are the most resilient people in our society. They deal with more ups and downs than any other walk of life.”“That's why it's called Angus Underground. It's not to undermine anybody. It's to say, what is the real conversation going on in the industry?”“You don't put a hat on a mullet. You let a mullet just fly in the wind.”“I just want you to be honest with me, I want you to tell me the honest birth weight, the honest yearling weight, and let me see it’s mama.” — George“We need good young people that are backed with morals and ethics and from an agricultural background because they’re gonna need to carry the torch for the next generation.”“We’re the only area that can sell our calf crop three times a year, Christmas, tax time, and when we can catch ’em!” — George“In life, I think there’s an ultimate goal. You just keep progressing forward, whether it’s progressing forward with your genetic program, whether you’re purebred, commercial, whether you’re progressing forward in your life, your faith, whatever.” — George
