On Friday, Mount Carmel CEO headed down to West Salem for a tour at Gold Buckle Cattle Services with Duane, Julie and Laney Stephens. Duane and Julie gave a bit of background on the family-run company and the industry itself, followed by a walk through the barn, led by Laney, a CEO alumna from our program. Gold Buckle is not like most cattle farms you see in the area. They do not produce cattle for beef or for dairy, rather they are producing cattle for other herds, farms and ranches. "Our goal," said Duane, "is to produce high quality livestock." Gold Buckle does business all over the country, and are known for their top-tier breeding and genetics. In addition to livestock sales, the company also sells feed and mineral products as well. Big thanks to Duane, Julie and Laney for their hospitality on a chilly St. Paddy's Day morning! Thank you!
