McCurry Bros

ByChris Perrin

Okay, so I am going to try live blogging my Pasture to Plate trip. So far, things have gotten off to a great start. If by great, I mean further revealing that I have a lot of maturing to do.

First off, everyone is really nice. The Kansas Beef folks have rolled out the red carpet and we’re even staying near about the prettiest spot in Wichita, which is not well know for it’s “pretty.”

So, thanks for that.

Also, thanks to the McCurry Bros (and wives and grandchildren.) Your land was beauitful and your knowledge of cattle production was amazing. The amount of science that goes into what you do is pretty astounding.

Which is why I hope that I was able to keep my giggling to a minimum during the conversation on cow artificial insemination and semen extraction in bulls. Those who know me will be proud of my restraint…

More later! Enjoy!
