I am the founder, editor and publisher of On Pasture, now retired. My career spanned 40 years of finding creative solutions to problems, and sharing ideas with people that encouraged them to work together and try new things. From figuring out how to teach livestock to eat weeds, to teaching range management to high schoolers, outdoor ed graduation camping trips with fifty 6th graders at a time, building firebreaks with a 130-goat herd, developing the signs and interpretation for the Storm King Fourteen Memorial trail, receiving the Conservation Service Award for my work building the 150-mile mountain bike trail from Grand Junction, Colorado to Moab, Utah...well, the list is long so I'll stop with, I've had a great time and I'm very grateful.
I recently attended a discussion with a dozen South African farmers sponsored by Pharo Cattle Company the day before they toured the Pharo Ranch in Eastern Colorado. Kit Pharo had arranged for a room and meal at a restaurant with a chicken fried steak buffet. One of the ladies on the trip asked Kit, what part of the chicken was used for the steak? This may have been before she saw the size of the steaks. Apparently this is an American thing that hasn’t made it to Africa!
