About this episode
Teddy Gentry discusses his journey in developing the South Poll Grass Cattle breed and the importance of soil health and genetics in cattle ranching.
Teddy Gentry of the band Alabama was self-educated in the back of a tour bus about what it takes to make money in the cattle business. He learned about soil health, grazing, and genetics. This led to his development of the South Poll Grass Cattle breed. We discuss the breeds that make up this hearty and profitable composite as well as the process and the unique restrictions they have placed on the breed to protect its long-term success.
