Take 2:07 to watch this video from Montana Stockgrowers Association (Facebook) about the Martinell Family and what ranching means to them. There are 3 generations on the ranch working together, what a blessing that must be.

Many of us do not have the opportunity to pass on land to future generations, but we do have the ability to pass on our passion for the lifestyle of production Agriculture.

Heath sums it up well when he says “Ranchers have a true appreciation for the land and their livestock” We have to love what we do to go to work every day, and not many businesses allow us to work daily with our family. How many people can say that?

What are your thoughts on the video and the points touched in the segment?
