Joining us is a very special guest, Michelle Schrader, a first-generation beef farmer from the Finger Lakes Region of New York. Michelle and her husband run a cow-calf operation where their cows are pasture raised and grain supplemented. Michelle's knowledge is a testament to her dedication to sustainable farming and her role in nurturing the connection between the land, the livestock, and the community she serves.

We discuss antibiotic and hormone use in animal farming, and what USDA inspectors are watching out for in the meat we consume.
