Our latest piece on BeefNews.org, "Leaning In on the Messy Parts," is by Andrea Heide Gorda of Pipcreek Farm in Manitoba, Canada. In it she explores the complexities of the modern beef industry. She shares personal stories of her childhood and the intricacies of rodeo culture, highlighting the importance of understanding diverse perspectives and embracing complexity. The full narrative, rich with personal anecdotes and reflections on community and tradition, underscores the need for openness and resilience in our food systems.
