Cattle profits and pasture life shape West Virginia farm scene
West Virginia cattlemen discuss breeds from Black Angus to exotic stock, market trends, and high prices. Farmers run cow calf operations, ship calves out of state, and monitor grain and beef prices via satellite data.

Greenbrier County ranchers emphasize bluegrass grazing, sturdy fencing, and a culture passed from generation to generation.
